Highlights
“I can't rate Mander Plumbing highly enough. I've had the best service, professionalism and reliability that I've experienced from any company I've dealt with. I recommend them to anyone looking for a plumbing and gas company. Certainly my go-to plumber from here on in.”
“Phoned Mander plumbing at 7.30am in the morning and Phil was at the house at 10.30am. He explained the issue in Layman's terms and had the issue and mixer straight away. Could not recommend the team anymore. Very professional and slick outfit”
Detailed reviews
Don’t use these guys, if you do , make sure you’re on site as I wouldn’t trust them. It’s a pity as I wanted to support a local business. I’ve now found two others which are light years ahead of this mob on service and professionalism.
I asked this company to give me a quote on a job at my property when I received the quote and turned them down due to its outrageous overprice I phoned to say thank you but would decline the work the person I spoke to Gavin Chambers proceeded to get very agressive to me which I was gobsmacked as I was very polite he then abused me to which I told him to calm down and then hung up. Be very careful with this company that you are clear about the quote process as they charged me a huge amount just
Today was the first time I had used Mander Plumbing. I needed a new plumber as the previous one we had used for 15 years had retired. I found Mander Plumbing online and didn't know anything about the company. However I would definitely recommend them based on today's experience. The company was responsive over the phone and called back when they said they would. Phil, the plumber allocated to the job, updated me by phone regarding his arrival time. He was polite and friendly, and went

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.
