I also highly recommend Dave from McHow. Great plumber and very reasonably priced!


Dave installed our radiators for us and we are thrilled with his work. He was very accommodating when we had to keep rearranging the appointment due to delivery issues with the radiators.


Dave is also very personable and responsive. We will always go to Dave for any works going forward!

Thanks for such helpful no pressure advice on our recent boiler issue. Looks like a bit of additional work is going to be required, Dave took time to explain why and I felt no pressure at all to do it immediately and with him. Although of course (that?s the best sell ;)). Thanks v much.
I?d like to add my positive feedback for Dave at McHow. I contacted him as an emergency when the heating and hot water stopped working. He managed to fit us in quickly. Great communication about dates and times. He was reliable and arrived early, quickly identified the problem and sorted it out there and then. Dave explained everything in a way I understood and I would definitely book him again. Many thanks.

I can also highly recommend Dave. We had a problem with the shower in our house which, after Dave?s initial assessment, it looked as if it was going to be quite a big job to fix. But thanks to him making the effort to track down some quite hard to find replacement parts for us, it ended up being a much quicker, simpler and cheaper job than anticipated, which was a huge relief for us. He kept us updated on the situation all the time and was very easy to communicate with.

Can I also recommend Dave at McHow - (07814833352)

I contacted him last week after searching for a plumber and reading all his great reviews on the East Dulwich Forum. He arrived promptly the next day to give me a quote and quickly found the problem of a broken valve in our mega flow. It wasn?t an urgent job as was just causing a constant irritating noise but Dave isolated the noise and booked us in to repair the valve within a few days. Costs are very reasonable. Polite, very organised and punctual.

Would highly recommend and definitely use again.

I bought a flat in July & have needed to use Dave &/or his colleague Josh 4 times now due to various gas/boiler/radiator issues caused by the previous owner :( . Highly recommend their services! As others say, their pricing is very reasonable & they're always pleasant, polite, & efficient-- lovely to deal with. Very pleased w/their work & will keep using in future. :)

Another recommendation for Dave - found him on this forum as we were looking for someone to fix a problem with our toilet. Found him really helpful and friendly, he made sure I understood what the issue was and how it?d be fixed which as a new homeowner & this being my first call out to a plumber I was very grateful for. Really pleased, will definitely use him again.

Another recommendation for Dave (and Josh). Found their details on the ED Forum when looking for someone to help with a boiler replacement. Our boiler was unexpectedly disconnected by an engineer from the boiler company investigating a fault who found that it was an unsafe installation. This left us without heating/hot water and we needed a replacement ASAP. Dave's communication was excellent from the outset and throughout. He came to assess the job quickly, provided some helpful advice and a reasonable quote. He also re-arranged the installation date at short notice when the boiler supplier let us down and failed to deliver our replacement on time. Josh carried out the installation work and we were impressed with his speed and diligence. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dave/Josh.

Yet another recommendation for Dave and Josh.


I originally got McHow's details from this thread and asked about the feasability of a fairly extensive job that I wasn't sure was even do-able - basically re-doing the whole tank / immersion / pump system in my house. Dave came round quickly and assured me that it could be done.


Dave's communications are great. He and Josh actually turned up when they said they would. They did a highly professional and tidy job and we're very pleased with the result. Also as others have said, there were no "extras" - I assumed I'd end up paying his quote plus 10%-20%, but the final bill was exactly what he said it would be.


Finally I've recently asked him to stop by again for something that I suspected was down to the main water supply rather than his work. He was there within a couple of hours and confirmed that it was caused by a leak in the road. He wouldn't accept payment even though I asked to pay a normal call out charge.


Two thumbs up.

    • A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.
    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
