just used Nico again after noticing a tiny leak under my bathroom basin and realizing it must have been going on for a long long time without me noticing. He came within an hour of getting my text yesterday (a Friday afternoon) and saved the day, installing a new tap and rescuing me from a watery weekend.

Another happy customer of Niko's here.


Called him after my letting agent advised me of a problem reported - within hours he had liaised directly with the managing agent and the residents, went around and sorted the main issue plus another one that other plumbers had told me was not possible to fix last year.


I literally had to do nothing apart from send him payment after - very reasonable rates too. He's now my preferred plumber, just wish he lived nearer to my new home but glad he'll be looking after my old place!

Niko just saved my day! Found him on this website, called him at 10:30 this morning telling him I had a leak under my bathroom sink. He was clear he had a few jobs on and wouldn't be with me until 5pm, he called at 4:45pm and was at my front door within 20 minutes. He fixed the problem without trouble, quickly and making sure I understood what the problem was (frayed bathroom tap pipe). No call out charge, just a flat rate and seemed very reasonable. Would highly recommend him and will definitely be using him again!
Another endorsement for Niko. The temperature control on our shower was playing up and a previous plumber had suggested we might need to get a whole new shower fitted. Niko came and had a look, advised me that there was no need for a new shower, fiddled with the mechanism and effectively sorted the problem out and saved me a load of money.

Another great review for Niko. Had a problem with our radiator going back on after redecorating. Text him at 10pm, got a call at 10.05pm and he was round by 10.20pm. Great help & advice and without a call out fee.


Great genuine tradesman. Would highly recommend.

Another Great endorsement for Nico. We had a leak from our shower to our Living Room. Nico came round within half an hour and had a good look at it. He correctly worked out what was wrong. He replaced the silicon and finished the job within an hour on a Saturday. His work is excellent. And he is very reasonable. And most of all honest!

I too used Niko the plumber, for me dads house, he came in about 10 mins to check out the problem and fixed it all that day with no probs, explained all to me dad and just a flat fee, super work and he wanted a follow up to make sure nothing went wrong again, cheers for the heads up about him.
I recently had Niko fix the condensate pipe on my boiler, which was not properly installed. It was a difficult fix, as we had cabinets installed after the original plumbing job. Nonetheless, Niko did a top-notch job. I would go back to him next time I needed a plumber. Interested fella to chat with too, as others have noted.

Niko was an absolute star in coming to look at my dishwasher at very short notice, quote on it there and then and arrange an appointment for the next working day when he plumbed it in. He also then walked round my house making incredibly sensible suggestions about all manner of problems that I raised. He fixed the lavatory pan at no extra cost. I found him to be incredibly efficient, decent and I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends or to use him again.

I would also recommend Niko; he just installed an integrated washer dryer for us and also advised me on some bunged plumbing that he also fixed. I called him at 11, he rang back by 12 and came round within half an hour. He has a real integrity for his work; and the fee was very reasonable, just above Currys but a much better service and he did the tricky stuff they wouldn't touch.

    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant. 
    • Sadly, the price we now all pay for becoming a soft apologetic society.
    • Exactly the same thing happened to me a few years back; they were after my Brompton. Luckily there were only 3 of them so I managed to get away and got a woman to call the police, then they backed off, but not after having hit me in the back of the head first. Police said next time just give them what they want, but I sure as hell wasn't just going to hand over my bike to them!
