Recommended Posts

I'd highly recommend Jafar, who recently fixed a leak. He's SE22 based, and came out at no extra cost during the Jubilee Bank Holiday weekend to sort the issue.


I've also had him back this week to service the boiler. An awesome, hard-working, polite guy who's such a pleasure to have around.


Highly recommend.

Cannot recommend Jafar enough - he's such a nice, honest and reliable guy, and such a pleasure to deal with.


We've been refitting a cloakroom toilet and he came round to replace the sink. He always showed up at short notice, dealt with unexpected issues brilliantly, and despite the whole room taking ages to complete, meaning he had to wait a few months between the first and second fix, he didn't expect any payment till the end and left us feeling like our happiness was his number one priority.

I just used Jafar's services today. The plumber smelled gas and turned my meter off immediately. I called Jafar and he recognised the emergency and came later in the day, immediately located the leak and corrected it. He was so friendly and informative.


Would highly recommend his services! Really nice guy :)

I highly recommend Jafar. He is just amazing. A great plumber, a great guy, honest, well priced, friendly, polite and determined to fix the issue I had which wasn’t obvious.


He came to my property at short notice, found the issue was a communal pipe (which many plumbers in the past have missed), advised me to contact the freeholders to fix the issue and created an access hatch to the pipe so it would be accessible to the freeholders who are responsible for the pipe and unblocking it.


And I really appreciated Jafar’s honesty in telling me to contact the freeholders of the property, because if we had started playing with the communal pipe and anything had happened, I would have been responsible for the whole pipe which runs the length of the building and the cost of fixing it.

Another recommendation for Jafar


Had such a fantastic experience - called in the morning and broken bathroom plumbing was fixed by the afternoon! Which was a real relief - so surprised by how quickly and cleanly he worked and how eager he was to sort out for us as quickly as possible.


Couldn't have been a better experience.

Another recommendation for Jafar: he recently fixed our loo's broken flush mechanism - came over to look at the problem the day I called him, then returned the next day to fix it.


On both occasions, he gave me a rough idea of when he'd arrive (depending on his previous jobs), then called me half an hour in advance to let me know he was on his way.

He's super-helpful & nice.

I can vouch for Jafar too. Such a nice guy, very good at his job, efficient and well priced.

Another recommendation for Jafar!

He did such a good job for us- I have had a problem with our kitchen sink/ waste pipes blocking for months and he was the only plumber who came round who thoroughly investigated the problem and finally sorted it out for us.

Friendly, knowledgeable and hard working- will not be using anyone else!

reach him on - 07401262071

Another recommendation for Jafar. My bathroom sink ended up with a massive crack in it rendering it un-usable. He came to quote a Friday lunchtime. He saw the state of it and said he could come saturday morning to replace my sink. He sourced what he needed to do the job. By saturday early afternoon I had a new bathroom sink. Jafar is friendly, knows his stuff and wants to help!  [email protected]

Another recommendation for Jafar. I needed my new UFH connected urgently and my regular guy John Powers was on holiday as well as other contacts I tried. I contacted Jafar who managed to fit a visit that same day, and was able to fit me in the next day to do the works. He is a very friendly, polite and likeable guy, who's  work I can't fault, and leaves the place nice and clean afterwards. Reasonable rates and diligent worker. I will deffenitely hire him in again.

Used Jafar at Portrait Plumbing & Heating yesterday to fix our leaking bathroom toilet. He came round the same day and did a quick and professional job. Emails you an invoice, rather than cash-in-hand. Reasonable price too. I've lived in East Dulwich for decades, so I've tried quite a few local plumbers in my time. I'd use Portrait again, no question - [email protected] / 07401262071

I have another great review for Jafar. 

Our old old old boiler broke down on a freezing Sunday. I called him in the morning and he was able to come same day. Even though our boiling was old and complicated, he was able to get it up and running. 

His rate is £150 per hour on a Sunday.

Friendly, honest, and highly skilled. 

Thanks to those above me who recommended him 🙂

Thanks to everyone for recommending Jafar - he's a star! My central heating packed up completely - Jafar came out within the hour and quickly diagnised the fault. It required a replacement part that turned out to be a rare breed. Jafar spent ages googling for it (he doesn't give up!) and eventually tracked it down. He helped me get next day delivery and changed his schedule to fix the fault and reboot my system. This took a couple of goes as my system is powered by an air source heat pump that eventualy required a complete reset. Although Jafar hadn't worked with an ASHP before he stayed with it and finaly cracked the code. Result lovely warm house again!. 

Not only is he brilliant in fixing stuff he is also a lovely person to have around who really cares about fixing things for you. Now my go to plumber.

Whilst bleeding a rdiator after my air source heat pump service by another plumber the bleed valve started leaking. I knew that if I recalled that plumber it would be a few days before they would attend so I rang Jafar first thing in the morning. He picked up straightaway and despite a packed schedule managed to fit me in at 7 pm that evening when he fixed the radiator and another fault on my system. Yet another example of Jafar's fast response and willingness to go the extra mile.

    • I was at the bus stop again today and as usual this restuarant was deserted. I felt sad to see the nicely laid tables yet nobody in there.. As @the_hermit said I think they need to tidy up the frontage a bit and despite the laid tables with wine glasses on it does'nt read as inviting or home cooked or authentic. If I were the owners I would do a quick fix for instance ditch the white table cloths and put some more rustic looking checked cloths on the tables, or ditch the cloths altogether, just make it look less cold. Ditto I would instead of the awful signage or in addition to it put a handwritten painted menu ON the window stating what they offer "home made pasta" etc... I hope the OP shows this feed to the owners. I wish the owners well as I think its extemely brave of anyone to open a resturant or any kind of buisness in the UK in the current economic climate..and if the food is as good as the OP states a few inexpexive tweaks should make it look more inviting because at present I really would'nt feel tempted to go inside for a sit down meal.
    • You can't refuse. TW allows you up to a 12 months after installation during which time you can continue with the fixed rate system. Then after 12 months you go on the meter rates regardless. The one benefit of this is that the meter send readings on an hourly basis and if you have consumption being registered, when you would not expect it,  (such as between 1am and 6am) , they will advise you that you have a leak somewhere and will give an estimate of how much extra this leakage will cost you after you go on the meter rates.  That way you can fix your lea(s) in advance and save money. If you cannot find the leak  inside the house, it may be outside underground, between your house and the water meter because your old lead pipe may be leaking. That stretch of pipe is your responsibility.  Then you can ask them to help you find it and if you play your cards nicely and catch the TW guy on a good day, then TW will replace your old 1" pipe with a new blue 25mm pipe.  
    • Thank you to everyone who do drop off food while they were casting their votes, thanks also to those who enquired about volunteering. It doesn't have to be an election day though to do either though, so we would be grateful to receive donations and additional volunteer help any other day of the year too. We have also just added another string to our bow, and are now re-homing unwanted electricals too, so if you have any unwanted small electricals lurking at home that we can re-home, please drop them off to use to. We only ask that they are clean and working.  we will PAT test them and assuming all good, we will find a new home for them. The Community Fridge website has details, along with a wealth of other information Best wishes Steve Albrighton Community Fridge w: albrightoncommunityfridge.org i: albrighton_community_fridge_   
    • Hello, TW installed ours in SE27 in October 2023, unprompted too. We just got a note through the letterbox informing us of the switch to smart meter and its serial number, after it was done.
