Dan's Plumbing and Heating


confen

Recommended Posts

Daniel and his brother's 'Dulwich Heating & Plumbing' (Mobile: 07852 757654) is, certainly, to be re-recommended. At short notice on a Sunday emergency I called them (as recommended by someone in my street) and they were on my doorstep in Nunhead by the hour ready to fix a sudden leak from my toilet cistern which threatened to flood my home. As well, I mentioned a further ongoing leak problem to my mains loft tank during 'my telephone call out' where an additional 'domestic plumbing problem' was fixed with required parts that needed doing for ages. - And, altogether with ongoing consultation as to what was being done with what required replacement part and final assessment of 'a job well done'.

Sorry, I just had to reply to this message!


After Dan failed to turn up to have a look at our shower as promised, I contacted him again to rearrange a time. Having arranged a new time and he asked me to recommend him via this Forum, I said I could but only after he completed the job, and not before (which is what he seemed to be suggesting) - he failed to turn up again!!


2 afternoons wasted waiting for the same tradesman, what a total waste of time. The man who came to look at the boiler, think he runs a different company but they work alongside each other, was much more helpful.

I can heartily concur with all sentiments re: Dan's unreliability. After numerous unsuccessful attempts to get him to complete the work he was supposed to carry out on my flat. I have given up on him as a lost cause. Honestly, if you use the guy, you use him at your peril. If he actually does the work it would appear to be pretty sub-standard from other posts, but given his rare sightings you may even consider yourself lucky. Certainly do not hire him, and i would thoroughly encourage you to tell everyone else you know not to hire the guy. Honestly, even if he were a decent plumber (and a quick glance at the website https://sites.google.com/site/dplumbingandheating/ should cause concern - btw not sure he is Gas Safe either so its probably illegal to advertise as such) his remarkable lack of professionalism would send you running to the hills.


DO NOT USE THIS GUY!

Strongly advise against Dan. He started a job (removing a macerator), took payment midway through then went AWOL. He arranged to come round on three separate days but never showed up and never called to explain he wasn't coming. He stopped answering calls. After a fortnight of having a toilet sitting in the hallway, we made other arrangements. We then phoned Dan on a number with which he was unfamiliar and got through. He agreed that he would return the money he owes us for outstanding work by Monday 4th March. Today's Wednesday 6th, nothing's arrived and Dan's not responding to messages.


In better news, the fitter we got around to sort out the mess left by Dan was brilliant. His name's Stephen Viccary and he completed the job and finished the bathroom to an exceptional standard in a day. (www.spvinstallations.co.uk - 07941 266 145).

So, it's March 2014 and still up to his tricks. Came promptly on the first occasion, but on the second occasion, when I stayed in especially:NO SHOW. No phone call etc. Just lots of text messages demanding money for the first visit (60 quid for turning a valve by the sounds of it).


Sat at home AGAIN for a second no show and no call or message.


Do not use the person with [email protected]

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
