I had these guys round today to fix a leaking and not working radiator/towel rail.


They sorted it quickly and did a great job, I highly recommend and will definitely use them again in the future and am glad to found some local plumbers that I can rely on.


Definitely call Rick and his team on 07721060037

i am suspicious as I used a company called MK plumbing with an address on their website in Coplestone Rd. He failed to spot an unsafe gas water heater and instead said he fixed it. He hadn't, and left it leaking, despite being gas safe registered. He also failed to respond to my calls to him, saying it wasn't fixed, until I said I was reporting him. It was not fixable and was declared unsafe by another gas engineer. Have had to involve the gas safe register inspectors. I still can't find anyone who has actually used him, despite a few recommendations on here which I think are fake. If it's the same company, then he not in Coplestone Rd, according to Gas Safe.


Re Rick, he looks to have a number of postings just recommending him, so I queried them as well.

An avoid at all costs for Rick the plumber from me unless you want to pay him for not fixing problem properly and then have persistent false promises of rearranging to come back and fix the problem.


Rick came to my flat to fix a leaking bathroom sink pipe before Christmas. He replaced the washers in the hot and cold pipes and charged me ?100 for doing so. My tenant returned to the flat after Christmas and informed me that the pipe was leaking again. I contacted Rick to explain that the pipe was leaking last Saturday. He suggested that replacing the flex pipes under the sink would address the leak and that he would only charge me ?40 to fix the problem as he had already tried to fix it. He failed to contact my tenant on the Sunday to arrange to go to the flat.


I then contacted Rick to ask him again to contact my tenant on Monday. He arranged to go to the flat on Tuesday night, but cancelled and rearranged for Thursday night. He then cancelled again on Thursday night. Rather perplexed, I contacted Rick to explain that I wasn't very impressed with him. He was apologetic and we agreed that he would go to the flat between 10 and 11 on Saturday morning. He also said that he had bought the parts and would not charge me for fitting them. He failed to turn up again and gave the pretty feeble excuse of thinking that we had agreed to him going to the flat on Saturday night. He then spoke with my tenant and said that he would go to the flat on Saturday afternoon or that if he couldn't make it he would call to arrange a time for Sunday. Just as before, he failed to do both.


He failed to fix the problem is unreliable and a waste of money. From my experience, avoid at all costs.

Strange that Rick's recommendations are either glowing or anything but. Also strange that so many of Rick's recommendations, as Rosetta points out above, are from people who have only ever posted about him. Be wise...


I can only reiterate that he was an unprofessional cowboy with me.

To Rickplumb 247 and EDF, my comments have nothing to do with you as the Rick that I have had the misfortune to deal with has definitely not been in the trade for 40 years. I apologise for any confusion that may have been caused.


The Rick that I have dealt with is a a mixed race guy in his late twenties/early thirties who's number (as posted on EDF) is 07721060037.

I'm afraid that we did not have a good experience with Rick either. He did show up the same day I contacted him to replace a kitchen tap. However, after he left we realised that there were several problems with the work (including basic stuff like connecting hot and cold the wrong way). We made two appointments for Rick to come back and fix things, but he didn't show for either. I had to arrange for another plumber to replace the tap again, so unfortunately I cannot recommend Rick. For the avoidance of doubt given the confusion that appears to have occurred recently, the Rick I am referring to has the mobile number 07721060037.


For anyone reading this looking for a plumber, I can recommend Dave from McHow who came to my rescue. Here is a link to where I found him on the forum:

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
