About

My name is Charlie Nipper Newman, but I go by the name of Nipper. I live in South-East London and have been in the building trade since 2011.

I started Nipper’s Home and Building Services in 2020 as a result of being asked to take on more work. At the moment, this is my part-time / spare-time enterprise but my hope is to make this full-time and follow in the footsteps of my father and both my grandfathers.


I initially qualified as a Level 2 plumber and worked for a plumbing company for a couple of years before moving to a stone and building restoration company. This experience allowed me to develop complementary skills, such as carpentry.

I have gained all the necessary Health and Safety qualifications such as:

  • CSCS Health  and Safety Test
  • Manual Handling
  • Abrasive Wheels 
  • Asbestos Awareness
  • SSSTS (site supervision safety training scheme)

I am also covered by public liability insurance and happy to provide disclosure documentation for peace of mind.
