Plumber.
Whatever you do, avoid at all costs hiring a man called Peter Hillier, and his sidekick Richard.
We had a leak, which went down to the floor below and ruined a small ceiling - the building management company (Sheridans, Lynn) recommended him, as I was away working I told him to fix the leak, and re-tile and basically renew the whole room.
2 days after he finished and was paid off, the leak reappeared. He and his oppo had soldered a T piece under the floor, badly. He became incommunicado, so another plumber was called. At that point most of the horrors of their shoddy work was revealed.
2 more leaks, loose joints, pipes sloping the wrong way, wrong sized pipes. Poor grouting, the wrong colour, and the tiles were fastened with what looked like dried spit.
Mr New Plumber fixed the leaks and left to let the underfloor dry. Meanwhile yet another leak also caused by our boy wonders revealed itself, this time a pipe had been disturbed by them which ran under the kitchen cupboards.
The water from that had run straight down into the kitchen of the unoccupied flat below (for at least a week, every time we showered or used the washbasin or the washing machine)
Mr New Plumber fixed that today, as well as starting the full demolition of the bathroom ready for a rebuild.
Remember the name.
PETER HILLIER.
Lives somewhere in Downham, with his mum. Don't touch with a 10 foot bargepole. Get a real plumber. And if you know him, tell him I am looking for a full refund. Or a limb.
