Plumber recommendation


Recommended Posts

You know how it is, you move into a new flat. You invite the neighbours round to say hello, and before you've got past the introductions, the boiler makes a noise like its hit an iceberg... Which is about as warm as the flat got last night.


We went onto the east dulwich forum this morning and called Niko 07818607583, (lets face it, it's always a bit of a punt) and he had the boiler up and running in less than half an hour, not only that, but he's a nice bloke who explained the whole system to us. When I asked how much a new boiler would be, he talked me out of it, and prepped us on how to nurse this one for another year or so.


If you're in a similar spot and looking on the edf for advice, then I would highly recommend him. I thought his cost was very reasonable as well. Especially as he's only just left and it's gone 9pm!


Thanks again Niko, much appreciated.

I called Niko last week after recommendations on this site. He turned up when he said he would & completed the 1st job in minutes. The other job we asked him to do would involve his returning another time with the relevant parts. Later that day (& after giving the work some thought) he called to explain why we would be wasting our time & money & explained to us why the work was unnecessary; he could easily have gone through the motions & taken the money. Having had problems with plumbers in the past, I was most impressed with Niko.


We found Niko to be an honest, friendly bloke who will talk you through what he is doing & why. I think he cares more about his reputation than making a quick buck.


I've already recommended him to a couple of friends & I wouldn't hesitate to use him again.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
