Any reliable plumbers in N London / Islington Hackney area? Finding a leak, as opposed to fixing a boiler

Hello hivemind. I need a few tradespeople for south east London. Plumber/bathroom fitter, sparky, boiler engineer. Any recommendations welcome. MyBuilder was not great last time I tried.

is checkatrade any better?

Any recommendations for a provider of understairs storage solutions in SE London?

IKEA Croydon?

Anyone recommend any floor layers? Specifically looking for someone to lay T&G reclaimed floorboards in a new loft conversion, fairly straightforward apart from having to run it down a couple of steps. SE London based ideally.

Anyone know a decent plumber in the SE area? Need a garden tap moving about 4 inches.

I usually ask Craig (CJ Plumbing) for small jobs. 07730505554

Ta!

He fitted that towel rad you gave me actually! And fixed my botched bathroom sick trap.

Any forum endorsed plumber in New Malden neck of the woods?

Someone to fit an exterior balcony door in NW6 (Hampstead/ Swiss Cottage)?

Just had some work done by DS Builders - Denzil Smith. Really good quality work, based in Bow East London. Would highly recommend, really nice personable chap too.

Anyone recommend decorators to do simple make walls good and paint job? North London / Seven Sisters based.

I’ve seen Stevo’s recommendation of Craig, and mentions of asplumbersandgas, but has anyone got any other recommendations for plumbers / boiler people who cover SE4?

Our boiler seems to have developed a small leak. It’s a Worcester Bosch of some kind.

Any recommendations for an electrician/electrical engineer in SE London? Got an annoying problem with an element-heated immersion tank. Every six months the thermostat trips, then trips more frequently until it doesn't work at all.

The consumer unit and heating timer was replaced relatively recently (two years ago), heating element also replaced, and thermostat (the 18" rod type) replaced frequently, and I'm stumped as to what's causing it. It's a 60's tower block, with the wiring inside a steel conduit which takes the earth. The immersion tank wasn't an original feature, so perhaps related to a higher wattage element, drawing more energy than it was originally specced to do. Lights in the flat flicker very occasionally, but nothing that seems linked with the tripping of the thermostat, and consumer unit immersion ring never trips either.

Looking for someone that would like to get to the bottom of this!

I came on here to ask for an SE electrician recommendation but not feeling too hopeful given the last post is the same thing with no answer!

But will give it a go anyway… I am only looking for basic stuff (plug socket outside, new consumer unit in a garden office in a couple of months), so any recommendations would be great.

Only just come back to this post looking for tradespeople myself and to answer your enquiry I used Aaron from https://www.thecyclingsparks.co.uk/ whose name I got here

Any reccomendations for an oven fixing person in SE London?

Not a recommendation, and probably not much help, but I've fixed a few ovens over the years (elements, thermometer, circuit board, etc) and they've all been very easy.

Once you nail down the exact parts you need it can be pretty straightforward, done a couple of elements too.

Any painters and decorators that have the forum stamp of approval for South London?
