Most reviewers report positive experiences with JJ Central Heating & Plumbing. John is repeatedly described as friendly, polite, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with, and reviewers mention clean and tidy work, prompt arrival and clear explanations of the work. Customers report boiler installations, servicing and repairs, bathroom and en-suite work, radiator and gas appliance fitting, and plumbing jobs such as toilets, taps and leaks. One 4-star reviewer reported problems a year after an en-suite replacement, including a leaking shower screen and a weak W.C. flush, and said John did not return to fix the flush; they also said he did not follow installation instructions. One 1-star reviewer said the job cost more than twice what it should have, despite a lower quote.
John was great. A replacement heating and hot water system installed in two days and disruption kept to a minimum. Thanks John
John is a reliable nice guy who is also very knowledgeable and helpful. His work for 3 different households in the family has included boiler services , toilet repair, tap replacement and bathroom installation. John’s work is high quality. I highly recommend him. 5 star work at a reasonable price
5 stars well deserved, after calling around all morning John was on another job he kindly squeezed me in and got it sorted same day. I had spent the morning ringing around with time scales which were a week away. The lads had no hot water. John was easy to communicate with, presented himself professionally with a friendly manner. Thank you again John you saved me a lot of stress.
I had a great experience. He was friendly, professional, and arrived on time. He explained everything clearly, carried out the work efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy. It’s refreshing to find someone who is both knowledgeable and approachable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing boiler servicing or repairs. Excellent service all around!
John helped us cap a redundant gas pipe before our new floor was laid. We had no idea where the redundant pipe ran, but he traced it back to the source and removed the redundant branch properly. It was a huge relief to know there wasn't a redundant gas pipe left buried under the concrete floor. Our flooring installer brought the job forward at short notice, and John was kind enough to rearrange his schedule to fit us in so the project could go ahead without any delays. We were so impressed with his work that we asked him back to remove our old gas fire, fit a new radiator, and help with a few carpentry jobs during the renovation. Very experienced, efficient and highly skilled. We'd happily use John again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
John installed our new boiler and did a fantastic job. Competitive price, turned up on time, and worked cleanly and efficiently. Friendly and easy to deal with throughout. Exactly the kind of tradesperson you hope to find. Highly recommend.
Perfect! such a genuine lovely guy attentive and very well priced
En-suite replacement/renovation approximately a year ago: John completely replaced our en-suite a year ago and installed everything new and uprated our shower system. Firstly, John’s water pipe work (soldering) and soil pipe routing was second to none. He did a really good/professional job and it looks like it will pass the test of time. Unfortunately there were a few downsides to our job. John doesn’t like to read instructions (and throws them away) which has caused us a few problems. From the incorrect installation of a lock and mortar kit to the incorrect fitment of our shower screen, he reads none of them. The shower screen has been the latest saga which has begun leaking again - and after reading the instructions it seems John didn’t seal it correctly as per the manufacturer. John didn’t read the instructions (and threw them away) of how to secure our toilet seat either, luckily I managed to find a copy online and rectify myself. Furthermore our W.C. Flush has been pathetic since install and John hasn’t come back to fix it, I’m not sure, but wondering if he failed to read the instructions. John was friendly and showed up as planned (hence 4 stars) but I would seriously recommend that if you appoint John, you make sure he READS the instructions and installs things correctly.
Job was well done and efficient. Highly recommend
Today John came to check my boiler, and he was extremely professional, thorough, and friendly. He saved me a significant amount of money by avoiding the need to replace the entire boiler. I can only highly recommend Jon and will definitely call him every year for the annual check.
The team at JJ Central Heating were brilliant from start to finish. They managed to moving things around to be able to squeeze my job in, did a great job and were very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend!
Brilliant service. John and Will were friendly, efficient and left the place very tidy. Also they came in to finish on a Saturday morning so the new boiler would be up and running sooner. Great guys. 👍🏼👍🏼
John does fantastic work, he's now fixed my toilet, sink, and a leaking stop tap in the wall, and each job I've been impressed with how thorough it was (for example in fixing the sink he also prevented a future issue with the overflow whilst there), the quick pace of work, and clear communication of what's broken and exactly how best to fix it. Considering that he's fixed work done by another plumber, but to a much higher standard (and in a very difficult circumstance with the stop tap as it was inside the wall behind cabinets), I'd 100% reccomend for competence and great value for money.
This guy is an absolute star - he really went the extra mile to fix our boiler problem on his way to his next job as we were in a bit of a fix. We've already arranged another visit and he is definitely our go to heating engineer now.
John (owner) was fantastic, we haven’t had heating downstairs for over a year due to multiple blockages and other issues when moving into our first home. He went above and beyond to get this sorted pulling an array of techniques and tools to clear the blockages bit by bit even when we were close to ripping up the floors to repipe it all. He communicated everything he was doing along the way to put you at ease and I could not rate him enough for anyone needing heating work done. Now our home is lovely and warm ready for the early 6 am cold mornings with the kids waking you. Thankyou John, you have a customer for life.
We were recommended John by some friends. He was really communicative and professional from quoting through to invoicing. He had a great eye for detail and has a good group of subcontractors for other elements who he managed well. Overall - really pleased!
John did a brilliant job fitting my new immersion heater and left the area spotless afterwards. Highly recommend this efficient, friendly and reliable plumber!
John was very quick and efficient. Got back to me straight away and boiler was fixed the next day!
Really easy to get hold of, they came out quickly and jobs were dealt with brilliantly. Boiler service was really thorough- something I was worried about as it’s in our bedroom. Every effort was made to fix current taps but they were too worn down and so replacements were done instead. Really pleased with the work done.
I feel the price is a little high, but that's just my opinion. It might be a good idea to ask their charges before scheduling them. Over the years, I have had the opportunity to work with various plumbers, which has given me a general idea of the charges. However, I regret that I did not take the initiative to inform them that I was not interested in proceeding with the job when they actually quoted the price. They did come down in price, but the job ended up costing more than twice what it should have.
John was recommended by a neighbour and he was great. He was able to come out the next day, which was brilliant because we had no hot water, and he communicated well, turned up promptly and fixed the problem quickly. He was very personable too. Not sure our experience could have been improved!
I can recommend John in the highest possible terms. He's the only plumber we've engaged who worked his way logically through our heating (or no-heating!) issue - one that arose after we completed some major building works. He solved the problem during what amounted to a 12-hour working day (and on a Friday, too!). He said he wouldn't leave until it was fixed and we are now the warmest we have been all winter. John is a pleasure to have in the house: thoughtful and courteous, and insistent upon clearing up and making good any minor damage needed to install new pipes etc. We are so grateful to him and delighted with his work. For us, he is Bristol's go-to plumber - and will certainly remain so for us in the future.
What a legend. Managed to fix our hob when no other could!
A great service from JJ yet again. Always going above and beyond! A lovely, polite and professional chap
John has fixed my somewhat neglected boiler today quickly and efficiently for a decent price. It's great to have someone who takes the trouble to explain what's wrong and why that's happened. I would definitely use him again for any jobs that come up in the future.
Will did a great job installing 2 radiators and fixing my toilet flush. I've had several trades working on the house over recent months and the amount of care and attention that Will showed to making sure everything was kept dry and clean really stood out amongst the rest. Communication and pricing was also great. I would not hesitate to use again.
John and Will did a great job in fixing our boiler. It was all done quickly and efficiently with a minimal amount of fuss. Having previously had several not so great plumbers in the past I would highly recommend JJ.
John's knowledge and work is first class and his communication very good too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend John for any plumbing or heating work - clean/tidy, polite, reliable work and good price wise too.
The before and afters say it all.. John is a very skilled plumber and his skills go even further than plumbing .. the finish on our bathroom was immaculate! Couldn’t recommend more.
John kept me informed, saying he was picking up taps and would be slightly late. He was very efficient in undertaking what was a difficult job. I would definitely recommend him.
Reliable and friendly, nothing too much trouble, thanks for great service!
John has done work for me over several years now. He is a most excellent plumber and a professional who pays attention to every detail. I can highly recommend him. He completely re plumbed my cottage, installing a brand new heating system and the results were excellent. Most recently he has fitted new radiators in a large flat in Clifton. You will see from the photograph that some were awkward to fit, as is the way with older properties. These 3 radiators sit in a bay window and need to fit precisely due to the shape of the windows and also the shutters. All fit perfectly. Another great job!
Great service, very nice person to have in your home. Contentious and good at problem solving. We will be using again - recommended.
Great finish to our bathroom and John is also keen to offer solutions to every little problem that arises.
John did a great job installing our cooker. He was very professional, friendly, on time and left everything tidy and clean. He gave some useful advice on other items we had questions about. Would definitely recommend.
Nice guy, top quality service and good value. Highly reccomended
John did brilliant diagnostic and repair work on two combi's I have. Took time to explain the situation and was just really helpful and friendly. Even put me towards a cheaper solution for one of them when a less honest operator could've taken me to the cleaners! Thank you!!
Really pleased with the shower that John has installed for me. He answered my questions and arrived when he said he would. Conscientious, good to have around, recommended.
I had the bathroom fitted by John, and he did a brilliant job, he event fitted the floor for me along side of the plumbing work!
John was extremely helpful, explaining the issue and what he was looking at to resolve it. His pricing was very fair and reasonable, I won’t hesitate to contact him if I need heating or plumbing work done in the future.
John was an absolute pleasure to work with on our home improvement. We had 3 bathrooms ripped out and replaced with brand new fittings. He worked in conjunction with the tiler and electrician. John personally assumed the position of a project manager (in the absence of the home owner who was on a different continent at the time) making sure everyone else knew what and (when) they should be doing certain task. John and his assistant Jude are very friendly and easy to work with. He had a load of contacts/suggestions for various actions that needed to be taken. He never complained! We never had to repeat an instruction he is that detailed. I would recommend John 1000 times over. In the words of my 4 year old "John is a very good worker". This review is from a very satisfied customer .
He came over quickly, going above and beyond. I recently moved into my apartment where the heating system had clearly never been flushed. He spent a he whole day problem solving and managed to get it all working where a lot of people would have given up. Thanks to John & Jude.
Had some work done by jj heating this week and am very satisfied with the job. Came out and gave a quote quickly, then was back the following week to do the job. A friendly guy who is approachable and knowledgeable. Thank you very much for the excellent service.
Fast, friendly and efficient.
Great service! John was friendly, professional and prompt. We have a hybrid heating system that John quickly understood and fixed in a morning. Our house has never been so warm. Could not recommend JJ Central Heating & Plumbing highly enough
Quick response to my enquiry, easy to deal with, and made quick work of replacing me leaky radiator. Many thanks!
Our heating system is quite old but John had the Knowledge to know what the problem was. He came out a couple of times to look at, and try and fix it, before it was decided to change a vital part. He was polite and explained the issue clearly and cleaned up after the work was done.
Knowledgeable, efficient, tidy.
Excellent service, recommended!
Did everything that was asked for. Would use again if needed.
Great service - would use again
Very quick and professional install of a Nest system. Thanks John!
Having been let down by Local Heroes, John came and repaired boiler quickly and efficiently, would highly recommend.
Fantastic workmanship. Workspace left clean and tidy. Great communication and a fair price.
Really happy with the service. Had my combi boiler replaced and heating system power flushed - great local plumber would recommend.
John was efficient and fair. Very reasonably priced and did tidy work. Would definitely recommend.
Really great service- fit us in almost straight away, very knowledgeable, and when we had some questions further down the line he was easy to get in touch with and really helpful
Recently had my bathroom done by John and he did an excellent job and the price was very reasonable i would highly recommend him
John carried out a boiler service and gas safety check. Very happy with the work. Nice guy to deal with.
This was a fantastic and very professional service. Thank you so much . The response was speedy, efficient and very honest. Added to this the problem occurred at a difficult and busy time during the recent snowfall. Would highly recommend this service.
Excellent response to a boiler emergency in the middle of freezing snowy conditions. Flexible to fit the job in at a time to suit us. Had the problem fixed same day, with the same professional and experienced service as last time. Thank you.
Job well done. Very reliable and professional, had a new gas cooker installed, John did a great job. Would highly recommend this company.
Thoroughly reccomend John's work. He installed our new gas fire quickly and with a minimum of fuss.Also very clean and tidy.
Brilliant, straight foward to arrange, arrived at stated time, completed work and left us with a fixed tank and hot water and friendly in the process. Would definitely use again, excellent service. Thank you John.
Fantastic experience. At very short notice John was able to fit a gas hob into a new kitchen. Great attention to detail and did a very good job. Would highly recommend.
John carried out a boiler service and worked out what was going on with its gas supply issue for me. Very personable, great price, expert knowledge. Will definitely use again in the future.
I called john out to fix pipes ready for a gas cooker. He came out without delay and did a great job, nice and neat with no mess left behind. A very professional and friendly service.
John took one look at the plumbing in our building and instantly identified its flaws. He provided a fair quote for the amount of work required and completed the job efficiently within the timeframe he specified. Highly recommend.
John is the only heating engineer we have had to do work on our house, but he is, by far, the best tradesman we have used in Bristol to date. The job involved a replacement of existing storage heaters and their replacement with new radiators and the installation of a combi-boiler. John quickly worked out what the job entailed and consulted us on each step of the process. He worked efficiently, diligently and finished the job to a tee. He set targets for himself on each day and met these without fail. He was mindful that he was working in somebody's home and because of this was exceptionally tidy. The five-stars are well-earned and in no way exaggerated. Cheers, John.
JJ Central Heating and Plumbing provided a first class service when moving my boiler from one room to another. Arrived on time and just got on with the work in a friendly and respectful way. Top quality work at a very good price, superb!
If your looking for a good plumber, then look no further. You've found the one you want right here! John did a great job moving our boiler and has great attention to detail. His pipework is a work of art in its self! Five stars for sure!
We came home to a massive leak from our hot water cylinder - John came out at 7pm at night, repaired the leak immediately then arranged for a new cylinder and programmer a few days later. He was very polite, extremely helpful and patient with his explanations of what was wrong/how things worked/what our options are, he arrived on time as arranged each time and responded to emails within a few hours of sending them each time (even on a saturday), and got on with the job discretely while we were managing our young daughter and the rest of the mess! Couldn't ask for more!
John did a great job. Turned up on the time he said he would and great communication in between appointment time. Will definitely be using his services again. Very impressed, great service.
John upgraded my shower room to make it more accessable for me and my disabled daughter. John and his apprentice were very pleasant to deal with and worked in a tidy way leaving the job finished and neat. A pleasure to work with and I am very pleased with the quality of work. I would difintely recommend him.
John was really reliable and his quote represented good value. He and his brother worked very hard. The installation of the shower, toilet and sink all took place without any problem. The tilling of the whole room was a difficult job due to the room`s shape, but was carried out very carefully and professionally. A problem did arise with the tiled floor, but this was sorted out very quickly by John and without any issue. Overall really pleased with John`s work and that of his brother Joe. Wouldn`t hesitate to recommend them .
John replaced our ancient boiler with a new one. This work involved: * re-routing pipes under several floors * putting in new radiators and flushing out the incredibly dirty system * taking up and laying down carpets and floorboards * removing the old immersion cistern * installing the new boiler in a more 'compliance -friendly' place. He worked very quickly and neatly, took the old boiler away, and restored everything so that we could hardly believe he'd been here. His quote was reasonable, and he was very polite, willing and generally a pleasure to have around the house. We'd be happy to invite him to do more work, if/when necessary, and are delighted to recommend him as an excellent heating engineer.
I would definitely recommend John for boiler servicing and maintenance. We decided to use him based on all the positive Google reviews and he certainly lived up to them. He worked quickly, quietly and was very tidy. He explained what was required, how he was going to do it and charged a very reasonable price. Highly recommend.
John removed and fitted 10 radiators - full system drain down and replaced with inhibitor. He worked very efficiently and did a top job. Very clean and professional from the initial viewing to measure up, to offering advice, pricing, actual installation, balancing the system and following up with the paper work. He even fixed/replaced my toilet cistern washer whilst waiting for the new radiators to get up to temperature. A pleasure to find a genuine decent plumber and I have future work that I'd like John to help with soon. Would not hesitate to recommend - although hopefully he doesn't become too busy!!
John was very thorough in his initial meet up and discussing any changes and explaining what needed to be done. Even after the initial consultation (which he did not charge for!) I had a few more questions which he was happy to put in the time to answer. John has helped fit the flooring in my house AND install a new bathroom which I have no concerns with and so far so good! A kind, thoughtful, hard working and helpful man who does not provide that corporate feeling you may get with some large national companies but a personable service you get from a bespoke company but at a very decent cost as well! I would highly recommend him and I would love to see anyone prove my recommendation wrong! I can see some of my bathroom pictures are even posted here which is good to see!
Very pleased with the standard of John’s work. Speedy , tidy, professional and always willing. So far, on separate occasions, he has removed the back boiler and replaced with a combi and new gas supply, completely removed and refitted the kitchen, resolved shower issues which were not his work in the first place and most recently removed and replaced the downstairs toilet, hand basin, mirror, toilet roll holder hooks and door handle. So you can see that I trust him to do a good job for a sensible price. Highly recommended.
