## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this tradesperson's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Have used this firm both privately and commercially for well over 20 years. Always prompt, professional and have never had to get back to redo a job.Have had 2 separate reroofs and numerous plumbing jobs satisfactorily completed. Unreservedly recommended."
> Source: Elias (5.0, via NoCowboys)

> "Knew what they were doing. Courteous. On time. Dealing with an old Rheem system and sorted it out. Pricing very reasonable. Would use them again."
> Source: Steve (5.0, via NoCowboys)

> "I thought I had a leaking water tank, so there was opportunity here for the plumber to totally lead me astray on the problem and do unnecessary work (which has happened to me before). Instead, I was advised that it was actually the toilet cistern and the problem was fixed. The extra work I thought I may have needed with the water tank, I was able to resolve myself, with some advice from the plumber. Totally superb service, I would highly recommend them."

## Before you hire a plumber
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Agree 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.
- In New Zealand, restricted building work must be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Building Practitioner, and all electrical, plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying by a licensed tradesperson (EWRB for electricians, PGDB for plumbers and gasfitters). Check the public register before you hire.
- For residential building work of $30,000 or more you are legally entitled to a written contract and a disclosure statement setting out the tradesperson's skills, licences and insurance. Ask for both before work starts.
