David from McHow really helped us out too.

Our boiler stopped working the other morning and we now know we had a faulty pressure valve that was leaking water down the outside of our house.

Fixed the problem within the hour and worth every penny.

At the risk of just repeating what's gone before, we've had a great service from David too - he and Paul turned up bang on time, did a great job, even advised us of jobs that would need doing next time round (but not trying to sell us into doing them now). Definitely a regular.

Terry and Paul came over to sort our electrics at very short notice, we got a very professional and reliable service from these guys and they left our home in a very clean state.

I can highly recommend them.

I will use their services again with complete confidence.

David from McHow ltd came over on short notice as the hot water stopped working in the house. I rang on Sunday evening and David was able to come after work on Monday and got it all sorted. Really good service, everything was explained clearly and the cost was very competitive. Would definitely recommend.

Can I also recommend Dave at McHow - (07814833352)

He came round to ours at short notice, arrived promptly and took time to thoroughly explain what the problem with our boiler was. He went out of his way to talk everything through with us and costs are reasonable.

Would highly recommend.

Happy to recommend MrHow Plumbing


David came around to fit a new toilet as well as re-hanging a few heaters which were coming away from the wall. Very happy with the work.


David talked me through (in simple terms which was needed for a non-plumbing mind) the reasons why my toilet was not working and why the heaters were coming away from the wall. He then suggested the best solutions to solve the issues. Very reasonable price. Great job and left the house spotless when he left.


Good honest plumbers are hard to find in london - so it was great to have finally found one!

I can also highly recommend David Howard from McHow. He's given us some excellent, practice advice and has always managed to fit our small jobs in very promptly. Reasonably priced and very trustworthy. Will be using him again.

Hi. We also got in touch with Dave as we had a problem with our boiler. He sent one of his colleagues, Umbar Mahmood, around. Umbar was absolutely brilliant and sorted out the issue at short notice and efficiently.


Umbar has been around again since to sort out a leak we have had with our shower - a leak that another plumber has tried to fix on 3 previous occasions but never managed to. Umbar sorted out on the first visit and in about 15 minutes.


Will definitely be using Dave and Umbar again in the future and would highly recommend.

Very happy to reccommend David and his colleague (whos name escapes me, sorry) at Mr How Plumbers. David came around the day after, first thing the next morning after my initial contact to assess our toilet and radiator issues (NO CALL OUT FEE) and once assessed explained in detail what was required and gave a ball park assessment of the cost. We agreed on a day to complete the works, for which his colleague and David arrived on time and fitted the required parts. David's colleague also gave me some assistant with the location of our stop cocks, for which we have 4 (we didnt realise this) and he had a very fair pricing structure for the works.


I would highly reccommend David and his colleague and also would definately use him again in the future. Goods plumbers are so hard to find.

I would definitely recommend Dave from Mc How 07814 833352.

My gas was turned off after the carbon monoxide alarm went off as my vintage cooker finally gave up the ghost. He was helpful on the phone and arranged an early morning appointment for the day after the delivery of my new cooker so I was up and running again really quickly.

Friendly, helpful and competitive pricing.

Yet another thumbs up for David and Umbar. Our boiler broke last week - David and Umbar worked for hours to fix it rather than replace it. They got it up and running and fit a new remote controlled thermostat. Really, really happy with the work and no hidden costs - we were quoted for the work before they began and informed of the costs for parts before they bought. Excellent communication. Will definitely use again. Thanks David ans Umbar!

Another recommendation for David at McHow Maintenance. He installed a new boiler in our house in October and we've had no problems with it since. He was friendly, hard working, and when some old piping proved problematic to the circuit he communicated clearly the costs involved to fix it. When we had an (unrelated) leak later that week and had water dripping through the kitchen ceiling he came over after work and sorted out the problem. Highly recommended.

    • A repetitive tried and tested cycle that seems to be slowing down in London thankfully. Brixton was the start. Councils consciously and purposely let an area decline until that area is next on the list for social and ethnic cleansing and ultimately gentrification. In come the first wave of arty/ creatives to squat and house share. A few coffee shops and cool but inexpensive cafe/ bars and art spaces open up. The crackheads, dealers and other assorted criminals who were once left to operate openly and brazenly to sell, shop lift, mug, beg, purchase,  publicly consume on decent folks doorsteps, stairwells,in bin sheds and without fear of the law begin to be targeted, rounded up and moved on. A few more jaunty and sustainable coffee shops/ bars appear . The Guardian and other facilitators in the media jump on the bandwagon, first claims of vibrancy are rolled out. Next step a few cool retro clothing shops pop up selling ' reclaimed Levi's for more than they originally cost and ten times the price of what the recently departed charity shop charged. Foxtons open a branch and the arty types and first wavers/ drivers have there first moan about there initially paltry rents going up. The guardian do a generic lets move to Brixton, Dalston, Hackney, Deptford, Walthamstow type double pager. Interview a graphic designer or two who have just bought a former crack den on the manor for next to peanuts. They will later bemoan the next wave who have more money than them. Cool, edgy and vibrant are now the buzzword bingo must use lingo. Few more coffee shops ( how original ) Pop up everything,. Organic and sour dough move in. The night time economy starts to thrive, more cool bars and eateries open. More squats and the last crack house that was once one of many are cleared out. Second wave is around the corner.   All of a sudden there's a visible police presence again and the streets are safe for fun seekers with plenty of disposable cash to chuck about on a dose of vibrancy with added coolness. By this stage even the locally brewed beer is organic. There's queues outside the newly arrived organic, sourdough, artisan and sustainable bakers. Instagram has Brixton trending. The greasy spoon of thirty year has gone cause the lease is up and the landlord has hiked the rents up by 60/70%. Followed by small family run independents that served the community  for decades and more.  The local characters, activists, eccentrics are getting less and less. There's a new show in town for a week or two and until the next brand arrives. Brewdog move in. Former job centres are converted into bars but peak edginess means it's still called the job centre. Followed by a couple more chain eateries. The resident DJ'S and music venues are replaced by another generic brand boasting guest chefs. The Guardian lifestyle section is now on it's fifth or sixth orgasm. Turn a few pages and hypocrisy is rampant with articles on the evils of gentrification, foxtons, capitalism, social cleansing and unaffordable housing. The middle classes continue to arrive in there droves to buy into the vibrancy and multiculturalism supposedly on offer. There isn't much multiculturalism going on at the packed latest place to eat, drink and fart. The multiculturalism on show comes in the form of bar staff, doorman and cheap as chips uber drivers and delivery workers. Rice and peas, jerk everything, red stripe at six quid a can from some hipster haunt that is currently flavour of the month and the place to be seen. The first wavers are now blaming the latest hedge funded brand that's pulled into town for driving gentrification and there soon to be hastened departure to be first wavers again somewhere else. Less cool but up and coming here we come. Covid has certainly helped/ been a factor in slowing down the process of gentrification. I also think it may be the driver for almost putting a stop to it. Remote working, less need to move to London to be near an office, less disposable cash, sky high rents, worthless degrees that relied on that disposable cash , different priorities, knife and gang crime and a large dose of much needed realism has put a huge spanner in the works for the shitty process and cycle that is/ was the gentrification and social cleansing of working class London. Manchester and Liverpool is next on the list for the planners. Thankfully.
    • Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required?  Do M&S do cash back?
    • Or don't stop using cash. Stop using your phone or even your watch as a banknote. At the same time avoid the risk of having your card cloned at cash points, by hand held card readers, oyster readers and point-of sale terminals to name a few. God only knows how much damage we're doing to the planet because all the above must require a hell of a lot of resources and juice from the grid. It won't happen though. I know of quite a few people who deem carrying cash about as a pain/ chore. But not a big lump of plastic with a screen and full of personal information that can be easily gleamed. I feel the same about carrying a phone about so i don't most of the time. I'll be in the minority but certainly don't see or treat a phone as a necessity.  You can't get a banknote out of your sky rocket with a phone in your hand. It's become a source of dopamine for many. It's an addiction for many. They're an easy target for thieves. They're a godsend to cyber fraudsters who are stealing billions and are doing so without the need of cash points.
