Plumber recommendation

Just wanted to recommend Daniel from Dulwich Plumbing and Heating - 07879 220447. Found his number here on the forum. We had a badly blocked bath, and when I called him he offered to come round the same evening. Turned up promptly, fixed the problem and volunteered a number of other helpful pieces of advice while he was here. Really friendly, tidy, would definitely use him again and recommend him to others.

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.

    • Looks like they do recognise a trades union USDAW - Sainsbury’s and Usdaw sign a new national agreement to improve trade union organising and representation within the business
    • Trees are great - I plant and raise my own and petition the council to look at damaged specimens and plant more - but they need to be tended to when they’re in non-woodland spaces. I encourage all those who have a strong liking for trees to plant them, grow from seed etc. - much better for all than tapping on keypads. 
    • Would they keep until Christmas?
    • As a customer of DKH I have sympathy with the staff but this a matter for their trade union to address. The law states that temperatures in the workplace must be “reasonable”, and adds guidance that a reasonable minimum temperature is 16C for sitting down jobs like checkouts or 13C for physical work like packing and stacking.  The law also states that there must be easily readable thermometers installed in the workplace so that staff can check the temperature. When I still worked, these would be mercury thermometers red-lined at 16C, so staff knew when it was permissible to stop work if they were uncomfortable. However, I always worked in trade union represented jobs. I suspect (but certainly don’t know) that a lot of Sainsbury’s staff these days don’t bother to join the union, so are not protected (please put me right if you know otherwise).  In any workplace, you either take collective action to improve things or just accept the conditions imposed on you. If staff are in a union, they need to take a hand in making sure the union and its reps do their job in representing them.
