Recommended Posts

We're buying a small 1 bedroom flat - looking for an electrician & plumber to quote us on the work that needs to be done on it.

Work to commence Feb/March time, as soon as the sale goes through.


Can anyone recommend reliable and good value plumbers/electrians? really appreciated!

You might be interested in my listing on the Thames Water Approved Plumbers website under Southwark and also on the website of the Chartered Institute of Plumbers and Heating Engineers www.ciphe.org.uk. On their homepage click on 'Find a Plumber' and put your postcode in. I will probably come up among others, though I live in SE5. You can also find tradespersons on a 'Builders Award Scheme' compiled by Southwark Trading Standards. This can be found on Southwark Councils website. They do CRB checks and take up several references before putting people on this list.

Be warned.


Tradesmen who are pretending to be legitimate honest members of this forum going under many different alias' to recommend themselves should be ashamed of themselves.

Hi we has the same jobs needing doing,

We used DM building services and Garvey plumbing, they took care of all the plumbing for us and our new boiler as they were corgi registered. Also bear the other quotations we got!

Our contact is Danny 07830178104

The electrician we used was my father in law who's semi retired and done it as a favour so can't help there, sorry!! :)

    • I can't answer your question. But on them generally: it's changed hands in the last year or so, I think. I paid £35 for interior and exterior and they did a crap job. I'll go to the one on Herne Hill (or just do it myself if health allows) next time.
    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
