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.

    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
