Niko the plumber - thumbs down!

Recommended Posts

I also spoke to him today to ask for a quote on tiling (and my house is finished to a A grade standard). I can vouch for him having phone issues, well he said he had anyway, and he has some personal issues now which will see him travel to Greece for a while - so my tiling will be put on hold and I dare say any plumbing jobs you might have for him.


I have him down as a good communicator (could argue too communicative!) so going missing doesn't sound right unless good reason.

I can vouch for Niko having phone issues as he helped me out a few days ago at short notice with a blocked drain that was causing my flat to flood. His phone crashed and he lost all his contacts and correspondence (he's a self confessed caveman when it comes to things techy) So if you owe him any payment, please contact him as he can't contact you! Oh and yes, think he's now away in Greece for a few days.


No connection, just been helped out by him a couple of times now.

I'm another in the positive column. Not only was Niko friendly, efficient and reliable when sorting out a problem we had recently, he also went out of his way to help us with another issue. We'd had a longstanding leak which had left us with a very damp cupboard. He lent us one of his dehumidifiers for a few days and wouldn't take any money for it. He is that rare thing - a good honest tradesman who is really genuine.

thank you jackwelts for your recommendation of michael he was excelent finnaly have my shower working properly. would reccomend him to anyone.

thanks again.


and for redpea who posted looking for someone if your still looking for a good plumber.

his contact number is 07956528763.

Niko did several jobs for me recently - not only was he super efficient, reliable (came when he said he would) and value for money but he is a really friendly guy who was easy to chat to and gave me advice for future reference in relation to plumbing issues. Even came to see us for an semi emergency job on a Sunday - what a legend! A great find on the ED forum.

    • 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.
