fantastic plumber and handyman

Nico helped us get our hot water sorted out in the new office at Grove Vale.

He thought the old heater was kaput, brought a new one, and then proceeded to fix the old one!

This saved us ?150 from his quote that provided for a new heater.

What is it about this man?

In a word, AUTHENTICITY.

And another word? LEGEND.

Can I add to these recommendations for Niko. He helped us sort some issues with our bathroom plumbing and went above and beyond the call of duty to help us. He also looked at some issues with our electrics at the same time. He's a lovely guy and extremely competent and reliable. I have no hesitations in recommending him.

Another recommendation for Niko - I had a flood as a result of a botched washing machine installation and Niko was round within the hour. He sorted this and returned the next day (Sat) to install the machine. Reasonable price and lots of useful advice. Very satisfied!

To add to the many positive comments, just wanted to say that Niko is a gift to the people of SE22 and 23. We had a leak from the complicated tap system for the bath/shower and i realised it needed fixing quickly. Having used Niko before for a similar problem, I didn't hesitate to contact him. True to form, he came around at extremely short notice on a Saturday evening, identifying and fixing the problem in record time. All for ?50. If and when we ever move from the area, I want to take him with us!

Having read reviews on the forum, I dropped Niko a text to see if he could help me. He didn't disappoint and I would definitely recommend him.


Niko called me back within minutes and came round that evening to look at what was needed (without any charge). The job wasn't big or urgent, but he still fitted it in around his busy schedule and did a great job (re-sealing a leaky shower). He even popped back a week later to make sure there were no ongoing problems.


I would have no hesitation in using him again and thoroughly recommend him.

I couldn't recommend Niko enough. Friendly, efficient, talks through the problem so you understand what needs to be done and very reasonable. I won't be going elsewhere now for plumbing. Work complete was changing toilet, tiling and finding the problem leak on the shower.

I needed a plumber to fix my shower and after a search on the forum I contacted two that seemed to be highly recommended, of which one was Niko. I left a voice message for both about 5pm this afternoon explaining the problem and asking for a call back. One hasn't replied at all but Niko called me back about an hour later and came round straight away. He fixed the problem and also a leaky tap that I've lived with for so long I'd forgotten about it until he was here. He was friendly and polite and charged me a very reasonable price. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and would definitely use him again.

Hi I used Niko for a small job. It took him less than 10 min for a good job,,to finish however as he hasn't initially clarified the price he was looking to charge me ?40. I found him to be quite expensive and he wasn't keen on giving me a cost which was a downside. Agree a few upfront.

I had a leak coming from the flat above mine last night, I text Nico late in the evening hoping he would come round in the morning, he immediately called and offered to come out straight away but first told me to check the flat upstairs, talked me through what I needed to look for, we found the source, stopped the leak and he never came out and charged me! A genuinely decent guy that I cant talk highly enough of. Next time I have any issues he will be the first person I call.


To reiterate what others have said already... Legend

    • 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. 
    • Sadly, the price we now all pay for becoming a soft apologetic society.
    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
