Had an emergency issue with our water at 5.30am this morning. No plumber could help me, but these guys answered... straight away and gave me immediate support over the phone. I really appreciate you going that extra mile, especially after I mentioned I will need to go through my landlord for repairs. So there was no billable fee. Have saved your number. Thank you so much.read more

We had a issue where we required a plumber rather quickly, Daniel took my call very early in the morning and was able... to help us out that day. Daniel was able to get to us early then he anticipated and he rang and arranged this. Daniel and Nathan arrived earlier than planned and quickly sorted out my issue. They were efficient, polite and cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend Daniel and his team anytime.read more

Contacted Dan about a small plumbing job I needed done. He didn't hesitate to take the job and worked with the limited... timeframe I had to get it done. Dan was friendly and helpful.

Thanks Dan!read more
