Give it a rest Cella. Some people get busy.

Why would he call possibly dozens of people to explain he's busy, field the next question 'when WILL you be free ?', and then listen to the commensurate moaning about the predicament the punter is in because they didn't plan their works and get their tradesman booked well in front ?!

Just because you didn't get a call back stop trying to diss a bloke who's obviously doing a very good job.

Pick-up yellow pages and sort yourself a plumber instead of stalking credits for a plumber who's busy with work !

Just to say, one of the reasons there are so many recommendations on here for Nico is that (at least in my experience) he asks people to put them on here, and I suspect that they then feel they have to.


Call me cynical, but I'd rather use a busy and efficient plumber who doesn't need to do that (yes I have one).

You obviously didn't read any of my posts on here so you are wrong on all counts IMO. Tradespeople either want good relationships with future customers or are, for some strange reason, not bothered and lazily relying on the good reviews. I'm sure he probably is a good plumber but I'll never know! I left several messages and all he had to do was text to say he'd get back to me surely? Don't know why you are defending poor practice - very peculiar. You know nothing about my current work timetable but don't hold back on ignorant criticism. This forum is for locals to give both positive and negative feedback and remarks like yours (vested interest perhaps) won't stop that.

There are many reasons why tradespeople don't get back to you immediately - plumbers can be in positions where there is no signal, or doing things which cannot be readily stopped - or indeed away from home, on holiday or visiting a relative in hospital. Or, if you have an emergency which needs immediate response they may know that they cannot give you this because they are already committed.


A failure to respond doesn't, I think, give you carte blanche to attack the man, because there are so many valid reasons for it - whereas a poor job, or failure to attend when promised (being let down) might.

Disagree. It's not for you to guess why he didn't respond to several calls connected to possible work. I gave a negative review not what you emotionally call attacking him. It's for him, if he cares, to justify. Anyway I now have a range of quotes from others so I'll never know if he lives up to the better reviews! End.

Nico replied to our enquiry after a day or two ... we just thought he was probably too busy to answer right away! He came and sorted out our problem quickly and is coming back to do a different, larger job soon. And no, Sue, he did not ask us to put a review on the Forum for him. I just thought I would do so now having seen your questionable comment.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
