Jar Mechanical LTD Reviews 

I've used JAR for a number of jobs in Central London and I am really happy with their service. The team are friendly, professional yet down to earth, explain things clearly and respond quickly. They moved heaven and earth to have a complicated job completed days before Christmas for me. Whilst I wouldn't say they are cheap, they are thorough and take great care over their work to ensure it is completed properly first time, you get what you pay for. I'd always be happy to recommend them!

So they came out and said new thermostatic shower cartridge was required. That visit cost £108. Then I was sent a quoted £638 to carry out the job. No breakdown of labour or parts. I then asked for a break down for labour and parts. This detailed 3.5 hours for labour and £216.67 plus Vat for part (£260). Online, the same Aqualisa cartridge, non-trade price averages at half this price e.g. Plumbworld £125. But in fairness, the most expensive one I could find cost £240 including VAT.
Long story short, another company got the part and completed the job for less than half the price I was quoted. They were surprised I was quoted 3.5 hours labour time.

JAR Mechanical really go above and beyond not only with the office team but on-site team also.

Jason, Rafal and Hollie are extremely responsive and are always available in a pinch - they have assisted greatly in some touch situations where time has been of the essence.

Jason takes the time to fault find and come up with numerous client friendly solutions within a reasonable timeframe.

The team are thorough, responsive and a pleasure to work with.

Fast and responsive service, as a property managing agent, JAR Mechanical has helped with many of my properties, has always delivered good quality work, advice and reports. They even covered work over the christmas holidays. A good hard working team you can rely on

Recently, JAR handled a boiler issue in one of the flats I manage, and their service was excellent. They responded quickly, diagnosed the problem, and resolved it with minimal disruption to the tenant. They kept me informed at every step and ensured the tenant was satisfied with the outcome. Reliable, knowledgeable, and efficient—I highly recommend JAR for any property maintenance needs!

Jar turned up to fix my boiler and after a quick 5 minute inspection told me it was too old (10 years) and 2 major components needed to be replaced so I needed a new bioler for £4500. No mention of type of boiler or make on the quote. I got a local plumber to fix the boiler with a new part for £270 total. All up JR seem to want to con me! Stay well clear!!!!

I asked for power flush for underfloor heating and upstairs radiators. As requested I sent pictures of the system controls and was given a verbal quote of £585 + VAT. I asked for email confirmation of the price and nothing happened. 4 more calls over 2 days and still nothing. Then I was told that they do not provide email quotes and that anyway they would need to visit the site first.
Finally I was told that they were fully booked for the next 3 months even though they had been very keen to book the visit until I asked for confirmation of the price.
For those of us willing to invite companies into our homes to be charged an unspecified amount of money, these are no doubt the people to choose.
For me, it's a clear red flag.

JAR Mechanical are absolutely shocking, they have just installed a boiler in a flat I rent and the installation is beyond shocking, something I have never seen in 35 years of being in the construction industry, aside from the shocking installation they left the flat absolutely filthy.

Steer clear of JAR Mechanical!!

Our elderly mother's gas boiler was condemned leaving her with no heating or hot water. We contacted JAR Mechanical the same day and Jason came to the property that evening and assessed the work required to replace the boiler. The quote for the work arrived that night, we accepted it and the work was started the next morning and completed by the end of the day. We couldn't fault the speed of response, the efficient service and the quality of work. Much appreciated and highly recommended.

We were faced with a very difficult situation with a snapped gas pipe and thought we would have to have half of our kitchen pulled out in order to replace the pipe. Rafal examined the situation and quickly came up with a great solution that meant that our kitchen remained intact. He was knowledgeable, pleasant, helpful and very efficient throughout the whole process. We will definitely recommend JAR.

A gas safety check + retrospective building regulation compliance certificate was requested by phone. The latter is not done by every engineer and for that reason I explicitly asked about this being possible. This was confirmed by phone and a rate for the work agreed. In the end, only the gas safety check was carried out. This was justified with claims of the remainder of the work not being possible or sensible. The main issue is that the agreed rate was not reduced accordingly. While the gas check was probably done well, we advise customers to secure agreement about the scope of work in writing before agreeing to hire this company and check whether the resulting true rates are competitive.

After a fire at our property which left us without gas supply, JAR was able to attend quickly. They provided a quote on site (which was significantly below the alternative quote we needed to gather for insurance purposes), and were also available to do the work at short notice.

The team that did the work for us was really exceptional - friendly, communicative, fast, and efficient. They even managed to find a solution to an issue which had not originally been briefed in, but which I was struggling to solve directly with the relevant suppliers.

I cannot recommend highly enough - 10/10 experience.

I cannot fault Jason's work, or manner. He delivered an excellent result and great communications. He would be my first choice if I needed a heating engineer in the future

Very decent service. Would recommend to anyone.

Arrived when they said they would,carried out work quickly with no mess.Good price too.
Would recommend.

Great service and fast response time, highly recommended!

I have been using this gas and plumbing service for many years. Always prompt, reliable and efficient. Gives pragmatic solutions that fit your needs. Very knowledgeable in many areas and can be relied upon to do a great job!

I had JAR over to my property to fix an issue with my swimming pool boiler. The engineer identified the issue really quickly and replaced the part.
The boiler is now working perfectly.

I made an enquiry on their website for a service to my heat pump and received a very quick response. The team seem very experienced and are extremely professional. I have booked in for another service next year.

My boiler broke down at 9pm on a Friday afternoon. I called JAR and they were there within an hour, and fixed the problem quickly, the guy knew exactly what he was talking about.
I'd recommend to anyone who needs a gas engineer quickly.
