plumber recommendation


Recommended Posts

hi


a belated recommendation for Niko the plumber, who I originally found through recommendations on the forum. He came out on a Sunday, the day I called him and installed a new cartridge in my expensive tap that had been leaking for a year (no problems since!) and came up with a solution for the waste water pipe from my washing machine that was cheaper and easier than suggestions from other people. He's very friendly too, likes to chat! Call - 07818 607583. I will be using him again.

I'd like to second this recommendation. Nico is great - he came round to do some simple plumbing repairs to our flat before we moved out and rented it to tenants. He was very honest about work that did and didn't need doing (rather than charging us for work that wasn't necessary), did a really excellent job of sorting out the waste pipe on our ancient, awkward enamel kitchen sink. Best of all, he was very reasonably priced - much cheaper than other local firms - and the service was really excellent. He is a lovely, friendly guy and we will definitely be using him for any further plumbing issues with the flat!
Another big recommendation for Nico. We had our washing machine delivered Tuesday by Curry's, it was supposed to be plumbed in but was told the valves had gone. Nico arrived within 2 hours of me calling him after the idiots from Currys left, the valves hadn't gone he plumbed it in fine, was clean, tidy and friendly - great job!

Hi Harvsjr,

Almost exactly the same scenario but with nice chaps from John Lewis being unable to plumb new washing machine in and Nico saving the day within a couple of hours. What a great chap Nico is. Thoroughly recommend him.

Mountain of washing now being caught up with.

I contacted Niko after reading this thread and he helped me fix a leaking radiatior which was due to my previous builders not cutting the right length of pipe to connect to the radiator. Niko came within the hour to help me out and was very friendly and honest.


I highly recommend him and will be using him in the future.

Another recommendation for Niko. He came round at very short notice to fix a faulty valve using one of his own spares instead of a new part. Functioning perfectly and done for less than a standard call out charge. He also phoned a couple of days later to make sure it was functioning properly. A really great service and I will definitely be using him for future jobs.

    • Thanks TWB, that is all really useful. However, if  memory serves, The Fox Project actually directed me to The Fox Angels when I phoned them, and had no facilities in this area for sending anybody out themselves. They seem to be based in Tunbridge Wells. The Greenwich Wildlife Network also just suggests other organisations who may help in certain situations. To the best of my knowledge, however, for situations involving foxes, including injured or ill  foxes, Fox Angels are the only people who have someone available very locally who can come out virtually immediately (I waited maybe half an hour after I phoned them). The person who came had all the necessary equipment to move the fox, was very gentle and caring, and took the fox to a local vet (it sadly died). It's possible that if you phoned a local vet they would help, if you could get the fox there. The RSPCA has guidelines on what to do if you find an  animal in need,  however although they have recently had a campaign on this (and sent me a badge and a copy of the guidelines on a pocket sized card) I can't find them online. I attach a photo. Don't know if the QR code would work from a photo.    
    • My mum (91 years young!) well remembers going to Austin's as a child, which she described as an 'Aladdin's Cave'!  She absolutely loved it - and is still a shopping fiend to this day (I 'blame' Austin's 😉). Going back up Peckham Rye, passing Austin's on your right hand-side, just past Phillips Walk (so not far from Austin's at all), I believe there was a British Relay Wireless shop - this would have been in the late 1930s/early 1940s.  Does anyone know anything about this? My grandad (my mum's dad) used to manage it; it was severely damaged in The Blitz - but I am having trouble locating it.  Mum's memory is dim (she was 6 at the time); she originally thought it was in Rye Lane, but we think now it was in Peckham Rye just up from Phillips Walk (originally Phillips Road). 
    • Thanks everyone, this will need to be reported again as the fox was still mobile and walking down the road when last seen... hopefully someone will spot and report.
