New boiler needed

Ask Paul for a quote, he always does my work now because I've been stung a few times by plumbers, they seem to think they can print money. But Paul hasn't let me down and he doesn't charge a call out either. I rent a few property's out and I just send him now and he always turns up on time and keeps the tennants happy. Try him on 07974-755732. Hope he can help you, you can trust him to tell you if you need a new boiler or not anyway.

Hi

I strongly recommend or at least getting a quote of Garvey plumbing, they fitted our new heating system and swapped our boiler in our rented flat, ther promised to beat any price locally and I received all gas warranty a and certificates as I should of.. They advised me on the best options and upon quote advised me of all legal requirements whoever installed it must abide by, we are just off rye lane so if you would like to pop in at anytime and see their work you can.

Good luck and be safe, we came across many chancers when we looked for a gas safe engineer.

Would recommend John Powers - 07977909339


Fitted a new boiler and radiators for me on Saturday and did a great job, I left them to it during the day and came back to a very well tidied house, everything working and set up for me which was a welcome surprise given my past experience when having work done in my house.

I have had John Powers round to look at my boiler last week and this morning. He was incredibly friendly, professional and prompt on both visits. And most importantly he and Dan did a great job. It is so very difficult (as I have found at considerable cost) to find a trustworthy and reasonably priced plumber, particularly if like me, you don't know the slightest thing when it comes to boilers and the like. It is so easy to be fleeced. I can highly, highly recommend John. He will deal professionally with your boiler/plumbing issues and give you reasonable rates. You can get him on 07977909339.
Another recommendation for John Powers from me too! After another plumber serviced our boiler we discovered the pressure kept dropping causing the heating to go off (within an hour of the service). The original plumber came back but failed to fix the problem, saying he was worried he'd damage the boiler. After a call to John (who I found on the EDF) he came round the same evening to diagnose the problem, then came back a couple of days later to fix it. Having despaired of finding a plumber who's actually good at boiler servicing (several previous services have caused a variety of problems) it's a relief to finally find someone who really knows his stuff. He also has a very friendly manner and can do attitude. The bill was very fair and we'd have no hesitation in using him again. His number is 07977 909339.

I would recommend Rob Parsons - this is his web site. I had him in to do a few jobs recently including servicing my elderly boiler. I asked him how much life it had left in it and he didn't try to rip me off by pretending it was on its last legs and persuade me to replace, which means when it eventually packs up I will trust him to come back and put a new one in.

Yet another shout for John Powers 07977 909 339. My insurance company (Swinton) gave up trying to find someone 22 hours after my 'emergency' call about the boiler breaking down and 'authorised' me to find someone myself. Came on this list, saw the good references for John - he came within 2 hours, diagnosed the problem in minutes, made a temporary fix and ordered the part, which he came and fitted the next day. Good rates, nice man.

Yes - highly recommend John and his boys (Dan and Craig). More than decent quote and some of the nicest people I have ever met. Even managed to diagnose a problem over the phone - amazing! Used John after being let down by another seemingly highly regarded plumber and gas fitter on this forum... and so glad I did.


Great work and wonderful to deal with. Will be using again and again (sorry John - you've got me for good!)

Hi all - another recommendation for John Powers and his guys. We called them for the first time today. Craig came round today and sorted 1) broken shower handle 2) leaky radiator 3) boiler losing pressure. He fixed them all in about 20 minutes! Polite, professional work - 07977909339 - well worth a call.
I have just posted a recommendation for John Powers on another message. I read lots of positive EDF reviews for him last year and got him to install a new boiler for me last May. John and Dan did an excellent job. Craig came over yesterday to fix a problem radiator valve. Excellent service on both occasions, they are always very professional and conscientious, just how you want your tradesmen to be.

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
