It’s Time to Clean Up the Building Industry – One Register, One Standard
When I started out as a young plumber with a second-hand van and a bag of tools, there was one thing that mattered more than anything else, trust. If a customer lets you through their front door, they’re putting their home, their money, and their safety in your hands. That’s why I’ve always said if […]
Reeves is Desperate – And if Evidence is what You Need Take a Look at all the Tax-Hike Kites She’s Flying!
If you’ve read the papers over the last few weeks you’ll know that the Chancellors putting out ‘Wanted Posters’ for anyone she thinks is ‘wealthy’ and just like the Wild West she doesn’t care if you’re Dead or Alive, just as long as you have the precious cash she craves. The number of ways Rachel […]
Time to Jail the Wage Thieves
Wage Scandal I’ll tell you what, I’m fuming. The Department for Business and Trade has just named 491 companies that underpaid their workers. Between them they’ve been hit with a staggering £10.3 million in fines. That’s not a typo, ten-point-three million quid! Around 42,000 workers were short-changed, and those firms are now being forced to […]

Who’d have Thought when I Left School at Age 15 I’d One Day be an Award-Winning Columnist at an Award-Winning Newspaper!!
THERE’S not much that brings me back to the UK these days. Visiting family is the main exception to the rule, but my son Scott and grandson Ashley run the family business, WEFIX, and most media work I can do from my villa in Spain. There is one other thing that pulls me back to […]
I Never Planned a Return to the Plumbing Business, but Watching my Legacy go down the Drain I had no Choice!
When I sold my old business, which I built up over more than 40 years, the plan was to retire from the business I’d been part of since the late 1960s when I started my apprenticeship. I always intended to stay in business, but a return to plumbing game was not in my plans. But […]
The Chancellor’s Hair-brained Youth Jobs Plan Proves Yet Again that Labour has No Clue about Business!
Almost a million young people are sitting at home not in work, study or training, and the best Rachel Reeves can come up with is a half-arsed scheme that looks like it was scribbled on the back of a fag packet in the back of a cab. Resentment not Productivity Her big idea? Force kids […]
WeFix London – Kicking into High Gear in Under a Year!
On Wednesday this week it’s WeFix London’s birthday. One year ago, plumber Josh Parker collected job ticket 000001 – a burst pipe at a hair salon that was being converted to stylish new coffee shop on Black Prince Road in Lambeth. From that initial call out Unique Coffee became not just our first customer, but […]

That’s why WeFix London Ltd goes the extra mile by ensuring every one of their tradespeople are fully vetted through the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). This […]
Inheritance Tax: An attack on entrepreneurs, family firms and economic growth
Inheritance Tax (IHT) is often described as unpopular. I’d go further: it is the most economically damaging, counterproductive, and morally indefensible levy in the UK tax system. It is, at its heart, a tax on success. It punishes those who have built businesses, created jobs, and generated wealth legally and transparently, simply because they die. […]
