Hi
Any recommendations for a local plumber? I would like a new radiator fitting.
Thanks
-
Roy Marsden . [ romiley ]07870333203. i use him no problem with him knows what to do .
-
I have rang Roy ... answer phone, but will see if he rings me back .... anyone who reads the recommended business page on here will know that me trying to get a plumber or an electrican to do work at my house is the bane of my life :(
Daniel if you find one let me know please

Roy has rang me, and hopefully will be coming to see us this week .
Doug Barwick is doing my patio doors ( Marple roof line ) and he is waiting on me getting the plumbing done, but honestly trying to get someone to remove and replace radiators locally is a joke :( ... we had a break from trying over Christmas, but are back on the case again * groan *
Someone joked with me today, that if my husband had rang all these people, then it would have been done by now :(
If anything, I think it means more if a woman would recommend someone in a prodominantly male industry ( No offence boys ! ) , as quite often its up to us ladies * coughs * who are left to be at home, let people in, etc and I found no probems with sterling driveways ( for my drive ) and Marple roof line ( for my facias ) both were excellent, and I would recommend them both ... highly.
Watch this space * sighs *

you could try martin amos ..07872 311633
he came recommended to me but hasnt done the work I need doing. This is because he said considering the several problems i have it would be quicker and better for me to get the manufacturers of my boiler in!
Ive tried several recommended plumbers over last few months and when they have heard its just a boiler to fix Ive not heard from them again.. I rang Martin last saturday morning and he was round within an hour!

Roy rang me, and was going to visit our house tonight ...BUT in the meantime we have had someone out, and have agreed a price , and its getting done tommorow ... hoorah !!
Also we were quoted £200 pounds less than someone local .. and he came on reccomendation from my friend who is a decorater and uses him all the time, .. so fingers crossed, if he does a good job, then I shall advertise on here , said he would be here at 11.am to quote, he arrived bang on time and he came from Heald green , phoned with prices on the same day .. lets hope its not to good to be true !!

HI PINK Panther how did you go on with your plumber .

Hi ,
Would love to say what a super spendid job he has done .... but we had to cancel friday ... so he is coming on Wednesday ::)

Hi Amazon,
Im glad to say that my work was completed today, and I have had a message that my patio doors are probably going to be started next week :):) .
Is Roy Marsden a friend of yours ? well, Im a bit plumbered out as you can imagine when it comes to talking to plumbers but I do have to say that Roy did ring me twice, trying to make a time to come and see me after my initial message on his answer phone, but both times I had evening commitments with my children ... so if you do see him, can you pass on that I did appreciate it :)

No Roy is not a Friend of mine i just know that he is a dam good plumber . just a bit annoyed you ask people to recommend a plumber then get your own .And how was the work you had done .
-
Mmmmm, a tad harsh to my reading. Requested a recommendation, got 3 (2 from this site, a third elsewhere). Went with one of the three but not Roy. Then tried to pass a message of appreciation to Roy for his persistence and then got a (mild) scalding.
Oh well, onwards and upwards......

You seemed a bit miffed when someone else recommended a plumber also ,
And before you start on me, for personal reasons that I don't need to discuss with you why I wont say who these plumbers are ... I was recommended to two plumbers from this website , one a number I got from this web site, and another was from a previous posting by someone else on this website ... BOTH let me down, and one of them more than once . Yours was the THIRD from this website that I had tried
ALSO ... I have had five electricians, and the same amount of plumbers wasting my time to try and get a relatively small job done , if I choose to go with someone who was not recommended by you , then that is my choice .... end of !
And for those who use this website to recommend business's , and to those who gave me advice on line and off line, I really do appreciate it and they know it .
I'm trying to get a job done quickly, but without being ripped off, over charged and without my time being wasted .
P.s My job was done great ( thank you for your concern !!! ) .... and next time you need Roy for your next plumbing job, maybe take a few minutes to find out the exact conversation that my husband had with him before you jump to conclusions about ME ... and that conversation I don't need to post on here either :( ... but I shall keep his number , but do him a favour, do not cause unnecessary rucks with me ( that is how it appears to me and others I know who have read it ) , when you do not know the full story , it makes you look foolish, and will put people off recommending people and also using the recommendations given .
I have given the name of the plumber I used , if people need someone they can phone him, its between them and him if they do business, I wont be getting upset by it if they dont :(
I hope thats understood >:(

Seems to me fair enough, you got recommendations on here, tried a few and got a better deal from another source..just because a person asks on here for a recommendation does that mean you HAVE to use that person? Not if you get a better deal else where. Well done Pink Panther, glad the work has been done to your satisfaction.
Now I need to find someone who has a chainsaw and half an hour to spare, and reasonable rates! any recommendations?? :p
