Great plumber


Recommended Posts

Try Rob Parsons, he has a website....http://robparsonsplumbingandheating.com/testimonials/

He has only lived in ED for 6 months so is looking to expand his network....nice bloke, Gas Safe, 20 years experience, leaves your place as he finds it, I am trying to get him some recommendations on the Forum as seems a great place to find local trust worthy tradesman!

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 John

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

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!!!
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.
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. Stuart
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.

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?

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.

Hi wiacek68, this is John Powers, I replied to your post 2 days ago via private message to try and get some further information from you because I just have your username to go by but I haven't heard back from you. It would be great to clarify what has happened here because it is never my intention to let anyone down especially three times! Please get back to me via pm, phone (07977909339) or email ([email protected]).


Kind regards,


John

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

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 thanks


John Powers

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.

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.

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.

    • Hi all, I’m looking for a local photographer for one hour on Sunday 21st at 6pm in East Dulwich. We’re doing a food prep session and I’d love some natural, professional shots of: • Food being plated • Prep in action • A few team shots • Some finished dish photos We’re a small independent food business and don’t have a big budget for this one, but happy to agree a fair hourly rate and credit/tag you on all content. If anyone local is building their portfolio or fancies a quick paid shoot, please DM me with your rates and examples of your work.
    • Hi, not sure if anyone can help, I am having trouble with my car, a mechanical issue specific to this Peugeot model I have. I am looking to see if anyone knows of a garage nearby that has Peugeot knowledge and can help ( I also need to get the car towed there) I have tried stellantis in Croydon and Wimbledon, who are bloody difficult to get hold of for a start (took me a week to get some sort of reply) they can’t  book me in for over four  weeks, want £200 just to have a look at it first, and it’s a fare way for me to pay to have it towed Considering this is where I got the car from I,d thought they would be more helpful, but hey. just thought I would see if anyone had any recommendations on here for someone nearer.
    • on a practical level found here these have very positive feedback:   Danny - 07943 673482 joeast 12/09/23 Just had my roof replaced by Danny (mobile 07943 673482) who I would highly recommend. He is honest, clean, reliable and explained the work and sent photos as the work progressed. His initial estimate for costs was detailed and close to the actual price of the job. jamondo 07/12/24 Another recommendation for Danny here!  After carrying out extensive work on our property in 2018, we have constantly had problems  with the newly built roof.  Then followed numerous fixes and bodges by the builders then by other so called 'experts' and professionals' charging extortionate amounts and / or giving guarantees that amounted to nothing.  Lots of 'it could be this and that etc...'  Sadly our tale of woe is not uncommon. After getting a number of people to look at the roof - the consensus was that the whole roof needed redoing (it was clear that by now the roof looked a mess with multiple things done wrong or poorly).  We obtained quotes and decided to go with Danny - his was the most competitive but it was not overriding factor behind why we did.  Danny made clear what the quote covered and where there might be extra work required as he got to it (this was fairly minor). He was easy to get a hold of and responded promptly and he was also happy to offer up refences which I did contact and all were happy to vouch for him. Minor downside was that we had a bit of a wait, but it was worth it.  When work started I was kept updated with progress and photos.  Issues were dealt with, and although I'm not an expert by any means the appearance of the work was top.  Most importantly we are leak free! bonzo 17/05/25 Needed a new rear roof for terrace house in East Dulwich and heard about Danny Denton (07943 673482). Have worked with over 20 builders in the past but this guy was way the best - polite, hard working, honest, professional, informative, highly skilled and above all quoted lower than any of the others who came down to view the job. If you need roofing work I would definitely give him a call. If he's busy working else where I assure you he is well worth waiting for. He got the scaffold up and job finished in no time and kept me informed at every stage. Another roofer (who appears on this forum) gave a quote which was three times higher than Danny's.   #########################################################   Norwood Roofing 07412 000 214 Email Address: [email protected] Website: https://norwoodroofing.co.uk/ Fee163 01/01/26 Another 5 star recommendation for David and Patrick. Got in touch with David last week regarding clearing our gutters and as always he quoted immediately and came out within the week to do the job.  We've used David and Patrick for all our roof work for almost 10 years .   They also did an amazing job for my sister who is based outside the area - she couldn't easily find someone local and they stepped in and did a fantastic job (it was quite a big job).  Can't recommend them highly enough, really personable, always reliable and so easy to work with and consistent, just wouldn't work with anyone one else!  Thanks again David and Patrick. caroline5553 12/01/26 Another recommendation for David and Patrick. David came out the same day we called, had scaffolding up by the weekend and the job done on Monday. Really nice guys, never made me feel uncomfortable, easy to work with and seemed to have done a great job. Thanks, David and Patrick! sheppick 15/12/25 I would also recommend David and Patrick. David quoted immediately, and they came and did the work I needed the following week. They fixed my leaking roof and did a number of other jobs for me that were needed on the roof. Really reliable, turned up on time and very reasonable quote. Super easy to deal with and I would highly recommend.  #################################################################   Which Trusted Trader R Tredget & Son 07905829393 or 07956553852  [email protected] http://www.rtredgetandson.com/ OUR FEATURED WORKS Roofing, plumbing, kitchen installation, building, interior decorating, electrical installation, bathroom installation, exterior decorating, tiling, plastering, landscaping & carpentry 02/08/25 This is the second time R. Tredget & Son have carried out works on our property. Part of the work included the repair of cladding on an end gable that Richard had previously installed but it had since been accidentally damaged by another trades-person. I assumed I'd pay for such repair work, as the damage was no fault of his own, but when we discussed this, Richard was adamant he would not charge! Made a lovely job of the repair too. When you turn your home (or part of it) over to builders it often feels like they've taken over. Not so with Richard, Adam and Harrison. They respect your property and are willing to work with you. They keep you informed at every stage, offering suggestions and alternatives as appropriate and they don't take liberties. We are so glad to have found R. Tredget & Son builders: quality work from reliable, hard-working and courteous folks. 10/10/24 Multiple jobs complete to a high standard We've used Richard for a few years now getting our house complete. He and his team have completely refitted our kitchen, replaced ceilings, built internal and external walls, laid flooring, plastered, decorated, fixed guttering, fit skirting boards; the list goes on! They take pride in their work, and every job we've needed doing, they've always done to a high standard. No job was too big or too small for them, and I've no doubt the quality work they've done has increased the value of our house, so a big thanks again for everything they've done. 17/04/24 A Great Family Run Company This was our first time having works done in a new house so we were understandably nervous! From the first meeting with Richard and Adam we knew that we would be in good hands. Nothing that we wanted done was too much of an issue, even if it was a bit more of a challenge to them (unlike some other quotes we got!). They gave clever suggestions but weren't pushy with it and had good ideas! We had a whole new bathroom installed and then some structural work done around the house. The guys always made sure that they left the house in a clean state at the end of every day, which really made a difference to our standard of living during the works. Richard, Michelle, Adam, and H were trustworthy and communication was perfect throughout. We used some of their guys for boiler/electrics too and they were also great. Would highly recommend taking them on for your works!
