I have had need of Maxwell Plumbing's services twice in the last month. Today Jarod arrived promptly, identified the problem (thermostat needed replacing on my cylinder), had the part in his van and completed the work at top speed and efficiency. I am delighted we no longer have hot water shooting out over the roof. A few weeks ago I also had need of a plumber when a rodent got into the tank in the ceiling. Aaron from Maxwell Plumbing talked me through my options and the process for cleaning

I had leaking shower head and a leak under hand basin. Shower head was 30 years old so needed replacing. He was not expecting to replace it but replace it he did. the mixer didn't fit but of course steve had no problem making it fit. He arrived bang on time and was out of there an hour later. good job. shower is soooo much better than before!

Had to have two visits, as the first made it worse! Was told nothing could be done with the shower water pressure issue we had, even though the shower was perfectly fine the week beforehand. Called out another plumber who found an insect lodged in the shower valve within a few minutes of arriving. Replaced that part and it was perfect again. Maxwell Plumbing charged us for the visit that didn't fix the issue, and haven't responded to what was written on the feedback form they sent. Very

Not very happy. Dan was good to deal with but that's the only positive I have. $50 callout fee but I requested a plumber on Friday morning and didn't see anyone till Monday... callout Was just about to call another plumber when I had a call saying someone would be there in 20mins. My leaking toilet has resulted in me having a pipe hole through my wall which apparently I need to fix. Toilet works now but for $150 I'm disgusted that it's left me with more work to do. Would not use again.

What to check before you hire

Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Verify at the sourceCheck them yourself

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 register
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.
