Recommendation: Plumber

[TE10]

Just to give a vote of thanks and a recommendation to Robert at Bricks and Water: http://www.bricksandwater.co.uk/.

He came over at short notice to get our broken boiler going. Outstanding service, totally reasonable fees plus some excellent advice that I think will save us some money.

But AGAIN a non-recommendation for Daniel Ebrahimy of Dulwich plumbing and heating / sometimes referred to as Dan's plumbing and heating. (tel 07879 220447 or 07852757654). Do not use this guy!!! no shows, bad workmanship, high rates. This forum is a great way to find good tradespeople but should also be used to whistleblow on the cowboys taking advantage of this.

BE WARNED

My experience with Daniel from Dulwich Plumbing and Heating 07879 220447 and 07852 757 654 is so far negative:

3 Sep I have a drip from hot water pipe. He comes out same-day. He tells me the fee is not per-hour but per-job (i.e. I can't get him to do any other work for the fee.) The job is said by me as "fix the drip". He puts plumbers tape on a nut. I pay him. Later that day, I notice that the drip is in no way improved and text him. He agrees to come at a certain time the next day.

4 Sep After the appointment time (I've already taken trouble to be in) he texts to say he won't come and can he come tomorrow. We arrange for another time the next day

5 Sep Again I take trouble to be in. He doesn't show, doesn't text, doesn't answer various calls, doesn't answer my text asking what's happened to appointment

6 Sep He answers a call (I used the other number) and says he can't come today, and will call me in the morning of the next day.

7 Sep He doesn't call in the morning. He rejects a call just after the morning, texting that he is stuck on a job. I text back trying to arrange an appointment. I receive "Ok I'll text you later".

9 Sep I again text trying to arrange an appointment but no reply.

I state only facts above. Please draw your own conclusions about the behaviour.

Yup, similar terrible experience with this guy, he's changed his mobile number as well now to 07721060037 (a small Nokia pay as you go phone).

My partner and I contacted him after seeing a number of positive reviews on the East Dulwich forum (all of which I neglected to see were from first time posters). He turned up, did half the job, demanded payment before he was willing to leave the flat on the promise that he would return to finish.

Since then he has cancelled on the follow up 3 times and has left the bathroom in the state on the attached picture.

Obviously more fool me for paying up front but please beware of this character.
