I was called out to look at a leaking toilet in Brixton, south London. It was a 7.15am visit. I came across solid traffic on Brixton hill. After sitting in it for 10 minutes I decided to take a few back roads to get to my destination.

I arrived with 5 minutes to spare as my customer had to leave for work at 7.30am. I diagnosed and fixed the leak and arranged another visit to replace a broken push button flush. Time had moved on and my customer was running late. I offered a lift to Brixton tube station. It was taken.

We rushed down stairs. Jumped in the van like Starsky & Hutch. Rubber burned as we cut through the back streets and a market to get to the station. Approaching the station I prayed to 'The God of Traffic Lights' for help. Help came. The lights changed. Brakes applied. Customer out.

Job done..!

This was a satisfying project. I was asked to revive a tired looking butchers block island work surface. I removed it from the units below and set it up outside for sanding. I raised the grain with a wipe down of white spirits and got to work. Using 4 different grades of paper I sanded down to new wood and a smooth finish. After carefully removing all the dust with a tack cloth I applied 3 coats of raw linseed oil with over night drying/absorbtion between each.

The oil really brought the grain back to life and my customers were very happy. Job done..!

Now this was a first. I was booked in on Friday 2nd May to put together a Phil&Teds inline buggy (pushchair).

It was a pretty sturdy thing, not bad I'd say.

I did my first 'promlem solved' job on Friday 25th. Max called me because he had a leaky basin. At the job I found some very dodgy pipe work and two poorly fitted speedfit connecters. I replaced the connecters and pipe to provide max with a leak free water supply..

I recently completed replacing 54 white plastic electrical sockets and light switches to flush fitting brushed nickel and primed white plates. 1&2 gang sockets,fused switches,1&2 way 1 gang light switches, intermediate light switches, 2 gang dimmer plates, BT plates, fan isolator switches and probably some I've forgotten.

The job went very well and the client was pleased with the new look.

I advised my client to use St Johns Hill Lighting as I'd used them on other jobs and they'd always been helpful and very competitive on prices. They did not disappoint.

You can find St Johns Hill Lighting at 205 St Johns Hill, London. SW11
