The Virgin Media router also has DHCP.

My Virgin Media has an option for 'modem mode' or similar that switches off DHCP. You can find this in the admin webpage on http://192.168.0.1

I use my own router behind it that provides DHCP and Wifi.

It appears it is a bad idea to have 2 DHCP servers but not sure if this will stop the tablets and smartphones getting a connection.

It's bad. You never know which DHCP server will respond.
