Highly recommend plumber John Powers

I would also endorse John Powers. We had a broken boiler before Christmas and called several people. I then called John who gave a reasonable quote and said he could take a look that evening which he did. He was professional, reliable and skilled. I would highly recommend using John.

Once again John came to our rescue with an emergency repair of our heating system. We have young children so it was very stressful.

Our heating stopped on Saturday afternoon when it was bitterly cold.

I initially called British Gas but was advised an engineer would not come

the same day unless we also agreed to pay for a monthly home care contract at ?23/month! This was in addition to ?99 fee. I explained about the young children and dropping temperature but received no compassion. BG advised I had to sign up for the costly home care or no engineer on Sat. I reluctantly agreed feeling I had no option having been bullied to accept or not get an engineer until the next day and risk freezing temps with my family. I was advised an engineer would come between 2pm and 6pm. After the stressful call, I spoke to John who promised to come within 30 minutes. He showed up promptly and diagnosed the problem and got our heat on. After he left, BG called and said the engineer could not come until after 6pm. Needless to say, I rang and cancelled the appointment and home care.


I highly recommend John and highly recommend avoiding British Gas!

I would also like to sing John's praises. A tenant of mine had a leaking pipe which was discovered with a couple of cm of water over the floor. She went on line and by chance found John. Over the phone he helped her find the stopcock and turn off the water supply to the house. About 30 mins later he was at the house fixing the problem. This is how a company should be run. Thank you John.

Another glowing recommendation for John! Our boiler started making horrific noises early on Friday morning, I found the above recommendations and gave John a ring, he was due to come out at 1pm due to other appointments but he managed to come at 11am instead, he had a replacement pump with him ready to sort the boiler there and then and I was back in work for the afternoon (not sure if that's good or bad!). He was quick, extremely helpful and turned what could have been an absolute nightmare into a very painless experience.


I highly recommend John.

I too would highly recommend John. His work has been first class, he is totally reliable, clear about the work he intends to undertake and was contactable after the job when I had a query.


He repaired our Vailant boiler which had stopped working. Additionally he installed a Magnaclean device which has protected our boiler from further damage.


I would not hesitate to use John again.

Highly recommend John Powers excellent communication and prompt response to initial enquiry. Diagnosed issues with boiler, explained in detail what the problem was, and what is required to fix. Resolved problem!

Professional, reliable, knowledgable snd genuine - would not hesitate to use again in future.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
