I am now approaching the end of an extensive refurbishment of a Victorian house in Windsor. One of the requirements was to update a bathroom, create a second bathroom, modernise the kitchen, and attend to a number of other aspects such as a new boiler, relocate the hot water tank and install central heating in the attic rooms.

I am delighted to report that my plumber/heating engineer was absolutely superb. The quality of his work was first-rate with neat and very tidy pipework, his attitude to his work was enthusiastic, and his suggestions and technical guidance of immense value. His forté are larger projects, bathrooms, kitchens and heating, which I can assure you will be completed to a very high standard.

His name is Dave Hawkes. Email me here at editor (at) thamesweb.co.uk and I will pass on his phone number.
