<p>Others on this site have already given a thumbs-up for Pete (AKA the Drip Doctor) but just wanted to add my voice to the chorus.</p>
<p>We had a problem with our boiler pump which was not straightforward to fix - a case of multiple (unlikely) failures happening at the same time. Pete didn't give up on us and visited several times, troubleshooting the issues until everything was fixed. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.</p>

<p>I have relied on Neil Protheroe over the past five years for plumbing issues. In 2019 he found and fixed a major leak beneath my bath floorboards, which had water damaged my ceiling below.

<p>I have relied on Neil Protheroe over the past five years for plumbing issues. In 2019 he found and fixed a major leak beneath my bath floorboards, which had water damaged my ceiling below. He has repeatedly been courteous, professional, honest and reliable. He has even turned up a few times when I've given him very short notice, inspected the job and not even charged me for a call-out! Neil is my favourite tradesperson to deal with. Whenever I contact him I think this guy is going to do the job right, he always gives me a clear explanation about his proposed solution without overloading me with unnecessary over overly technical information. And yes, this is a genuine review! I'm pleased with him, he’s just done another job for me, inspecting a big waste pipe in a communal basement on the ladder and no, he didn't do that inspection for free but he has removed a big headache for me so I'm glad to pay him.

<p>I know everyone has a bad day but this encounter with Neil Protheroe was so awful and upsetting I wanted others to be able to consider it when hiring a plumber.</p>
<p>My household had a leaking kitchen tap. I contacted my landlord and she contacted Neil and gave him my number.</p>

<p>Got Neils number from other recommendations on here. He's been out twice to do various plumbing upgrades and fixes now. Great communication over whatsapp, shows up when agreed and gets the job done with no fuss. Pricing was clear and reasonable. </p>

<p>Hello, I found a great guy who had to replace a whole shower unit: came promptly, stayed late and then came back on a Saturday to finish the job!</p>
<p>Raphael Neves was a star. 078 2507 6523. He says he is a general handyman but I can only speak for the plumbing. </p>

<p>Feedback from Helen McCormack - Neil Protheroe was excellent. He made a though inspection of my boiler and made a suggestion that I may benefit under the manufacturer warranty. He made the call for me and established my warranty status. The subsequent Engineers visit sorted everything out, renewing parts as required. Neil was so helpful.

I was very grateful for his excellent service and would recommend him highly.</p> Plumber Recommendation - Neil Protheroetag:harringayonline.com,2022-07-06:844301:Topic:14969782022-07-06T13:31:33.354ZOmoikittehttps://harringayonline.com/profile/Omoikitte

<p><b>To contact Neil - 077 3199 7936</b></p>
<p>We have dealt with a lot of tradefolk over the years in a rental situation, and now that we finally own a home, finding a reliable plumber was an important task. Particularly as we were in need of the services of one as soon as we moved in.</p>
<p>Neil came via recommendation from a friend and I have yet to be disappointed in any of the services that he has delivered thusfar. Being that I am the first point of contact usually, I value any tradesperson who can speak to a woman without being condescending and who is willing to tell you what things are without being patronising. That is incredibly valuable customer service.</p>
<p>With some of our more complex problems; such as managing limescale within our property - he provided us with plenty of options on how to reduce the impact on our water system. Giving us a full spread of both inexpensive and expensive options with no pressure to select one over the other. Instead providing a professional opinon on each option, including the pros and cons of each.</p>
<p>Appointments have always been within a reasonable amount of time for someone who is in demand, you don't have to wait an excessive length of time for him to come look at the problem, and emergencies do take priority, which is very reasonable. Time-keeping can be a little flexible, but I feel this is completely understandable in the context of the work that he does, and should be expected in such a role.</p>
<p>He has undertaken a number of tasks in our house, from the installation of a new bathroom, to much smaller leaks, the boiler and various plumber-related issues. I have found his approach to be practical and understandable. And I will continue to use his services and have recommended him to a number of other people looking for a good plumber with very reasonable rates and decades of experience within the industry.</p>
<p><br/> Highly recommended, and happy to show pictures of his work if people are interested!</p>
