    I can also recommend Dave as a plumber. He replaced my kitchen tap after we had been let down by another plumber mentioned on this forum (see recent posts about "Rick"). Dave was punctual, his price was fair, and he did a good job. He is also a nice guy. His number is 07814 833352.

    I found Dave from McHow through this forum and have been getting him to upgrade the plumbing in my new home. So far he has put in an internal mains water stopcock, an external tap, re-sited the washing machine and completely replaced the bathroom. When he took up the bathroom floor the joists were really rotten - he and Ricky managed the situation without any hassle and just did the work necessary. He's got a good network of people including an efficient electrician and someone who can decorate, so for now he's my one-stop shop!

    Dave from McHow came last week to try and get our central heating working on the ground floor, we had spent several thousand pounds with another local plumber who hadn't managed to fix the problem. Dave and his colleague spent the whole day persevering until they fixed the problem at a cost of less than a fifth of what we had spent unsuccessfully trying to get the problem fixed earlier in the year. Dave is very professional and i would recommend him to anyone that needs plumbing / heating work done. Simon & Emma

    Adding to the praise for Dave!


    I called him this morning as my boiler had gone on the blink, he arrived the same day and had the problem fixed within an hour. He turned up exactly when he said he would, identified the problem and provided a cheap solution.


    I would certainly reccommend.


    Thanks,


    Mark

    I too can only say fabulous things about Dave and am so pleased that I have now found a brilliant plumber in East Dulwich!


    I had a problem that Pimlico Plumbers said they could only fix by smashing the taps to pieces which result in me having to buy new ones, and costing me as it was turning into a very time consuming job. Three weeks ago Dave sorted the problem without causing such expense and I still have the old taps in place now working perfectly.


    I am absolutely delighted and highly recommend Dave for his professionalism and punctuality, he's incredibly hard working and on top of that, very reasonably priced!

    I would also be happy to recommend Dave from McHow. He diagnosed the problem with my boiler and fixed the problem a week later. In addition he and his mate were friendly and polite.

    Dave from McHow contacted me after I posted on this forum looking for some help to remove a kitchen in a hurry. He and his colleague Ricky came on a Sunday(!), were courteous and friendly, did what we needed them to do in a really short time and the price was very reasonable.


    I also asked Dave for some advice on how to upgrade the boiler and heating system. He was super helpful and I will definitely be using him to do the job when the time comes.


    I highly recommend McHow Property Maintenance. Don't waste your time looking for someone else, just book him in now.

    Fantastic service from McHow Maintenance Services! Phoned them to fix a leaking sink waste pipe, they arrived within 1hour 30 and identified the problem immediately. I cheekily asked if they could re-seal my kitchen sink at the same time (two plumbers had arrived; Dave and colleague) and they both got to work. All fixed, excellent work all round - very pleased.

    I've used Dave from McHow a few times now and am really impressed with his work.

    He and his partner were employed by our builders to install a new boiler in our extension. It was a really neat and professional job with a lot of complex wiring and plumbing involved and worked like a dream. When our builders decided to move all the wiring and controllers and messed it up badly (burning out one of the controllers) Dave came a corrected it the very next day without any issues.

    He also installed a gas burning tray in our fireplace when the builders said it was impossible and we had had the wrong thing custom made to fit, I think it took Dave about an hour to put in, test and certify it, without any issues.

    And this week a valve on our central heating pump started to drip (a part not in stalling by Dave I must add). The next day Dave came and replaced in with no fuss, he apologised for having to charging me since it was not a part of the system he installed!

    This is my first post and Dave did ask me if I would leave feedback if I was happy with his work since word of mouth recommendations from happy customer are important and I am very happy to do that. I can recommend him and his company highly.

    I can also completely recommend David at McHow. I was having some difficulty working the boiler system in my new rented house in East Dulwich earlier today so I gave him a call. He cheerfully popped round within a couple of hours (at the exact time I asked him to come round), assessed the system, figured it all out, sorted it all out, tested it, and got it all to work perfectly (and explain to me how it was done) in no time at all. He was also very pleasant to work with, with a great attitude and a reassuring sense of know-how. I'll definitely be calling him again if I need any other work done in the house.

    Dave gave us a good reasonable quote to replace our ancient boiler and completely refurbish our bathroom and did a wonderful job from boiler install, complete room tiling, painting, new bath, shower, basin and toilet. He and Ricky really knew their stuff, always did what they said they were going to do and were a delight to have working in our home. Highly recommended.

    Yes can highly recommend David at McHow Maintenance not only for unblocking my toilet on two occasions but for being excellent in terms of communication for arranging the appointment and for suggesting ways of dealing with the problem that might be cheaper in the future....

    Another recommendation for David at McHow Maintenance. He installed a new boiler in our house in October and we've had no problems with it since. He was friendly, hard working, and when some old piping proved problematic to the circuit he communicated clearly the costs involved to fix it. When we had an (unrelated) leak later that week and had water dripping through the kitchen ceiling he came over after work and sorted out the problem. Highly recommended.

    Another recommendation for David he came to my flat with a colleague and sorted out my combi boiler quickly and efficiently, friendly chap, he also bled the radiators while he was here and left saying if you need me again let me know and I will be straight round. Very reasonable charge.

    I would highly reccomend David too. he came round to fit some new radiators and he was quick, firendly, fair priced and even went and got a new toilet cistern when we found out it had cracked.


    He will be the only plumber I will use from now on.

    Yet another thumbs up for David and Umbar. Our boiler broke last week - David and Umbar worked for hours to fix it rather than replace it. They got it up and running and fit a new remote controlled thermostat. Really, really happy with the work and no hidden costs - we were quoted for the work before they began and informed of the costs for parts before they bought. Excellent communication. Will definitely use again. Thanks David ans Umbar!

    I would definitely recommend Dave from Mc How 07814 833352.

    My gas was turned off after the carbon monoxide alarm went off as my vintage cooker finally gave up the ghost. He was helpful on the phone and arranged an early morning appointment for the day after the delivery of my new cooker so I was up and running again really quickly.

    Friendly, helpful and competitive pricing.

    I would like to recommend and thank Dave who quickly fixed our boiler thermostat. He also had some very good advice on our gutters and drainage which I'm sure we'll be following up on.
