Hi everyone, I would like to recommend Dave McHow (07814 8333 52) for plumbing work - he recently replaced a bath mixer tap for me. He was very reliable in telephone/message contact and helpful in discussing the replacement. He came to do the work at the agreed time. I will be asking him to quote for any future plumbing work I need to get done.

I also highly recommend Dave (Dave McHow (07814 8333 52) for plumbing work. After having another plumber attend three times this week to try and fix a leaky toilet, Dave arrived this promptly this morning and fixed the leak in half an hour. He did a great job and was very pleasant. I will use him again.
I'll add my recommendation to this deservedly long list- Dave was the only plumber of the many I contacted who could come out the same day for our toilet leak and carried out the fix quickly and with minimum fuss. Also checked all was ok the next day.

Another recommendation for Dave! Our kitchen sink (which had been newly fitted by another builder) broke and we had water pouring out over the floor. Dave was able to come within an hour of me phoning and returned an hour later to do the job. All sorted really quickly and he and his colleague were friendly and professional. I will definitely be using Dave again.
Our boiler packed in just before Christmas and Dave made a big effort to get it sorted quickly. It wasn't obvious what was wrong with it, but Dave worked it out and did the job efficiently and without a big bill at the end. We would definitely recommend him to others. A nice guy as well.
Another recommendation for Dave. My boiler started tripping my fuse on a Sunday night. I found his number here, he got back to me promptly and came on Monday morning. Quickly identified the issue, fitted a new thermostat and quickly got it back up and running. Really friendly and reliable
I would also like to recommend Dave from [www.mchow.co.uk] who was generally brilliant despite being lumbered with a complete idiot (me) who clearly knows nothing about plumbing. He fixed my bathroom taps with speed and efficiency. Excellent communication.

Just used Dave to sort out my heating. He fitted a couple of new valves and rewired the controller. All is working perfectly now!


Nice guy, reliable, did a great job. Definitely recommended. His number is going in my phone book in case of any future plumbing/heating work needed.

I used Dave recently, based on the feedback posted above. We had to rearrange his visits a few times because of schedules (mine & his) but he was incredibly communicative and identified the boiler problem quickly. I would agree he is reliable, friendly and did a good job. Will definitely use Dave again and recommend.

Another recommendation for Dave from McHow. I initially found him on this forum back in 2014 and have used his a few times since for unblocking a sink, fitting a new radiator and now adding a dishwasher to my kitchen (including removing and installing cupboards to accommodate this). Happy with all these jobs and at reasonable prices compared to other quotes that I've had.


Easily contactable and communicative on 07814833352 or [email protected]

And another recommendation for Dave. He turned up when he said he would, explained the problem about my leaking boiler and bought the part needed locally and fixed the issue. All for a very reasonable price so will be using him again if I need further work.

I found Dave on the forum after another plumber had completed half a job and become overwhelmed installing some cast iron radiators.


Dave and his team were great, very professional all dealt with in a very sraightforward manner. They are now my go to plumbing team.


Would absolutely recommend and will be using them again.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
