Hi everyone, I would like to recommend Dave McHow (07814 8333 52) for plumbing work - he recently replaced a bath mixer tap for me. He was very reliable in telephone/message contact and helpful in discussing the replacement. He came to do the work at the agreed time. I will be asking him to quote for any future plumbing work I need to get done.

I also highly recommend Dave (Dave McHow (07814 8333 52) for plumbing work. After having another plumber attend three times this week to try and fix a leaky toilet, Dave arrived this promptly this morning and fixed the leak in half an hour. He did a great job and was very pleasant. I will use him again.
I'll add my recommendation to this deservedly long list- Dave was the only plumber of the many I contacted who could come out the same day for our toilet leak and carried out the fix quickly and with minimum fuss. Also checked all was ok the next day.

Another recommendation for Dave! Our kitchen sink (which had been newly fitted by another builder) broke and we had water pouring out over the floor. Dave was able to come within an hour of me phoning and returned an hour later to do the job. All sorted really quickly and he and his colleague were friendly and professional. I will definitely be using Dave again.
Our boiler packed in just before Christmas and Dave made a big effort to get it sorted quickly. It wasn't obvious what was wrong with it, but Dave worked it out and did the job efficiently and without a big bill at the end. We would definitely recommend him to others. A nice guy as well.
Another recommendation for Dave. My boiler started tripping my fuse on a Sunday night. I found his number here, he got back to me promptly and came on Monday morning. Quickly identified the issue, fitted a new thermostat and quickly got it back up and running. Really friendly and reliable
I would also like to recommend Dave from [www.mchow.co.uk] who was generally brilliant despite being lumbered with a complete idiot (me) who clearly knows nothing about plumbing. He fixed my bathroom taps with speed and efficiency. Excellent communication.

Just used Dave to sort out my heating. He fitted a couple of new valves and rewired the controller. All is working perfectly now!


Nice guy, reliable, did a great job. Definitely recommended. His number is going in my phone book in case of any future plumbing/heating work needed.

I used Dave recently, based on the feedback posted above. We had to rearrange his visits a few times because of schedules (mine & his) but he was incredibly communicative and identified the boiler problem quickly. I would agree he is reliable, friendly and did a good job. Will definitely use Dave again and recommend.

Another recommendation for Dave from McHow. I initially found him on this forum back in 2014 and have used his a few times since for unblocking a sink, fitting a new radiator and now adding a dishwasher to my kitchen (including removing and installing cupboards to accommodate this). Happy with all these jobs and at reasonable prices compared to other quotes that I've had.


Easily contactable and communicative on 07814833352 or enquiries@mchow.co.uk

And another recommendation for Dave. He turned up when he said he would, explained the problem about my leaking boiler and bought the part needed locally and fixed the issue. All for a very reasonable price so will be using him again if I need further work.

I found Dave on the forum after another plumber had completed half a job and become overwhelmed installing some cast iron radiators.


Dave and his team were great, very professional all dealt with in a very sraightforward manner. They are now my go to plumbing team.


Would absolutely recommend and will be using them again.

    • I think a lot of people here are just speculating about empty student accommodation properties. Student accommodation developments are very popular because they provide really great rates of return for the owner. A large student accommodation owner, Unite Students, saw 97.5% occupancy across their assets in the 2024/2025 academic year. They have many properties in London; https://pbsanews.co.uk/2024/10/09/unite-students-reports-record-occupancy-rates-in-q3-2024-update/ Here's a bit from CBRE on PBSA properties in London from May 2024: https://www.cbre.co.uk/press-releases/london-plan-policy-fails-to-deliver-affordable-student-accommodation - "According to new research by CBRE and QX Global, the gap between demand for PBSA and available supply in London currently stands at 100,000 – 105,000 full-time students, underscoring how demand for student housing has outpaced supply." - The development pipeline in London isn't keeping up with the demand. Ultimately this development wouldn't be built if student accommodation wasn't in demand. It's proximity to the station means that a student could get to any number of universities easily in a short span of time. Is it ideal? No. Would more affordable housing be better? Yes. Is speculating about channel migrants occupying the space uninformed idiocy? Absolutely.
    • Really pleased your cats are both home now, but what a very difficult situation.
    • it isn't said on any news source that I look at. Are you asking on social media whether what you read on other social media is true?
    • Thank you. Yes we scanned him last time, he is neutered & chipped. We asked neighbours who were feeding him to keep him in as, owner said she wasn't back till following day. That night whilst he was kept in, Gladys came back. The owner lives on a street who's garden  backs onto my friends garden. We asked neighbour that kept him in for night, to not feed him anymore. The owner said not long after she got him, he went out January, never went back till December! I did say so you don't want the cat, she said yes she does but she can't lock him in. I suggested she leaflet all houses who's back gardens back onto hers, to say to stop feeding him. She didn't do it. So until people stop feeding him, he will be a problem as he obviously doesn't want to go home and all the time she never saw him, there was no posters up looking for him, so it's one of those situations! He is a beautiful fluffy black and white and is enormous. Don't know what the solution would be if owner not bothered. Celia hammond overflowing, even kitten season was early this year. Can't take a owned cat though I'm sure he isn't happy. I'm hoping Gladys and Doris will go back home if he isn't loitering. Yes their owner does spray him with water but has little impact. It is a real problem and a worry that they are too frightened to go home and may travel further away. That is the real worry. Will keep post updated.
