About
Hi, I'm Johnny. I've been working as a plumber for over 15 years, and while Portobello Plumbing Co is a new name, the experience behind it isn't.
Based in Mt Albert, I work across Auckland on all things residential plumbing so from everyday maintenance and repairs to the bigger stuff. I also tend to roof leaks, and I'm across water filtration systems if cleaner tap water is on your list. For renovations, I handle the plumbing side of kitchen and bathroom projects, working with homeowners and builders to get it right from first fix through to fit-off.
My focus is straightforward: turn up when I say I will, explain what's going on without the jargon, and leave the job done properly. That's it.
If you've got a plumbing question or a job you need quoted, give me a ring for a no obligation chat. Happy to help.

Rick Hill
Johnny was fantastic to deal with.A calming presence on site and helped us a lot with some of our design constraints and has an excellent eye for detail. His level of finishing is also outstanding. Reply: Thanks Rick, was a great experience working with ‘made by hideaway’, some of the best looking saunas around!
Alex Ang

Lita
Johnny was fantastic from start to finish. He responded quickly, arrived exactly when he said he would, and got the job sorted efficiently. Rather than replacing the whole valve, he only replaced the parts that were actually worn out, saving me money and unnecessary work. He was friendly, professional, and clearly knows his trade. I'm very happy with the result and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing plumbing work. Reply: Very kind words Lita, appreciate you taking the time to review. All the best and see you next time :)
Mirabel Mowat Smith
John from Portobello Plumbing was great to work with. He was very responsive and went over and above to solve the issues at hand. We are very happy with the water pressure remedy & fix to our basin tap. Thanks John! Reply: Great to hear Mirabel and appreciate the positive review! All the best, Johnny.
