bonaome Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Another recommendation for John. Came to our house today, fitted a new radiator, re-hung an old one that was falling off the wall. Professional, polite, cheerful, pleasant, and an excellent job done at very good rates.Excellent.

arabella Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Another recommendation to add to the many..... John was fantastic - fixed my boiler which several other plumbers had been unable to do, was fast and efficient and charged a very reasonable rate. I have already recommended him to several other people I know.Thanks again JohnNatasha Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23512-great-plumber/page/3/#findComment-573686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallblue Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi,Yet another glowing recommendation for John! He came round very late yesterday to make sure my hot water was up and running - pronto. He knew what the problem was and fixed it straight away. Very knowledgeable - and so no time wasted diagnosing the problem.I have no hesitation in recommending him - he's on 07977 909339 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23512-great-plumber/page/3/#findComment-574874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newlands Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I have used John for a number of years and he has fitted a new boiler in the last 2 houses I have lived in. Today John serviced my boiler, my son's boiler and installed a cloakroom handbasin, and upgraded my mother's heating system all in 1 afternoon covering a 30 mile radius in Hampshire and Surrey. He is always friendly, helpful and nothing is too much trouble. In fact my mother was amazed at how enthusiasic and knowledgeable he is about boilers! A five star service at very reasonable prices. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23512-great-plumber/page/3/#findComment-577435 Share on other sites More sharing options...
planlondon Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 I used a plumber called Alan (07983688451) last week to try and find where a leak was coming from. He came the day after I found him on this site to have a look. Suggested where it might be coming from and what I could do (to save on him charging) and I found the leak. Will definitely use him to install new shower. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23512-great-plumber/page/3/#findComment-578081 Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghanh Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Another recommendation for John. He moved a radiator for us at short notice. The job was done really quickly and for a reasonable price.

woodstock Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Another recommendation for John Power and his team. I learnt of him through the EDF last Sunday, and contacted him first thing on Monday. He came within 2 hours to carry out immediate solution and then came back later in the week to complete the job. He works very quickly, and is very straight forward in his explanation of what is wrong. He doesn't try to pad out the job and he charged a reasonable fee. I wish all tradesmen were like him - but hope that he doesn't get too popular so that he will have time to install our new heating system when we get round to it! Happy for anyone to PM me for full reference.

Overhere Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 I had John Power do a safety check on my boiler. I was best pleased. He came on time and was very professional. He didn't try to sell me unnecessary products or services and gave me some great advice on dealing with my recalcitrant underfloor heating system. Rare for a specialist of any type, he was willing and able to explain everything to a layman like myself. I would use him again. Feel free to PM me.

wiacek68 Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 I used John Power once before and gave him a good rating. But recently, he seems overloaded. I have had 3 missed appointments in a row with no prior warning. Travelling in hope, i asked for a reschedule, but did 't hear back from him. Can someone recommend someone else?

Hawley Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Rob Parsons installed a new boiler and associated pipework for me last week. Found him knowledgable, efficient, tidy and competitively priced. Will certainly be using him for future boiler servicing and any other plumbing bits that need sorting chez Hawley.Details here: http://robparsonsplumbingandheating.com/2011/11/26/rob-parsons-plumbing-heating/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23512-great-plumber/page/3/#findComment-602685 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranawumps Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Unfortunately I also have to have a moan about John Powers.- he called a few days before the job start date saying that he might have to revise the quote due to the price of copper increasing- He was late several times- damaged some floor tiles when moving radiators but did not admit to causing the damage.- Did not carry out most of the work but used his apprentice to do so- did not carry out pipe insulation in cellar competently Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23512-great-plumber/page/3/#findComment-604797 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny5 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Dear Ranuwamps,I am sorry that you feel so strongly about the service you have received from me but this is the first I am aware of these issues. I have sent you a pm but just in case you see this first could you please call me on 07977909339 or email [email protected] so we can discuss this further. But I would like to reassure you and the rest of my customers that I have never, nor would ever leave an apprentice unattended on a job. The engineers which assist me when needed are all fully qualified.With thanksJohn Powers Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23512-great-plumber/page/3/#findComment-604815 Share on other sites More sharing options...
HelBel65 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 John is certainly busy as you would expect, but he has just done 2 small jobs for me - efficient, honest and a nice bloke too.

apltthomson Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Just to say John Power has fixed a couple of issues with our boiler recently and on both occasions has been efficient, knowledgable and a thoroughly nice chap. He even gave some free advice via text, which he didn't have to do. In response to the few who have posted negatively about him, I know John values good feedback so I would suggest contacting him for a resolution rather than venting on here. a Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/23512-great-plumber/page/3/#findComment-615572 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyP Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Our boiler went wrong late on a Saturday night and John POwer and Dan really helped trying to get it sorted out as quickly as possible by phone but with no luck. Dan came around on the Sunday to look at the boiler and unfortunately, it was a little more serious than first envisaged (fan went)and so John came around promptly on the Monday and replaced the fan with the minimum of fuss and now everything is working perfectly. I am very happy to recommend John to other users of this board, both as a person and as a plumber, and I will be using him in the future.

amygemmell Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I would like to add that John Power came to my rescue last week after our boiler broke down and left our family of two small children and one on the way, without heat or hot water. He very kindly came when he said he would and fitted the new boiler promptly and made a very good job. He was extremely tidy and also helpful in replying to phone calls and texts while we had a few normal teething problems understanding the new boiler. I have lived in ED for 7 years and he is the best plumber I have used. Would definitely recommend.
