“George and his team recently completed an interior painting job for me. The work involved wall paper stripping, preparation and painting of ceilings, walls, doors, window reveals and skirting boards of a 3 bedroom townhouse. They were very good to deal with and George answered all my queries promptly. The work was carried out in a tidy and efficient manner and care was taken to protect the new carpet. I am very pleased with the results and I am happy to recommend Home Painter Ltd to others.”

We’re looking for the nicest neighbours in town, and Pam Driver of Burswood has shared her lovely neighbours, David and Lara Hurst, saying they “are just wonderful”.

This year, Pam had a missing cat, which was quite out of character. Driver let the Hursts know, and they joined the search, successfully locating him in the gap between the ceiling and roof of their neighbour’s house.

Pam said “They rescued him and brought him home to me... complete with some scratches! I hate to think what would have happened had he not been found”.

Pam nominated the Hursts to let them know she is thankful for them: “It’s so good to know I have such caring neighbours who have my back. Thank you neighbours!”

Nominate someone in your hood, and your special neighbour could feature on Stuff and Neighbourly as an inspiration to us all (plus there are prizes to be won!).
