Using these guys was a big mistake. They were always late and left early, made mistakes with everything they touched and charge like a wounded bull... never again!!! For example: Gas leak Toilet leak (not fixed on second attempt) Connection to new water tank leak Pump ‘bolted’ down with 2 small screws - not secure Didn’t use pump cover supplied Not putting pea metal in trench as requested Arrived late and needed to leave for supplies or use mine Stormwater system - 4 separate

Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.

In New Zealand, most plumbing and drainlaying work, and all gasfitting, is restricted to licensed tradespeople. Check the person doing the work holds a current licence on the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board public register before you hire.
Check the PGDB registerAgree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top, in writing, before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced. Get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade, not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
