Called Andy for a small job and he was able to come out the following morning. Arrived right on time and very knowledgeable about what he was doing. Went above and beyond to help us sort our issue as well as keeping costs reasonable. Would definately use him again in the future.
Andy was awesome. Smallish job but still treated it with professionalism. Arrived on time as planned. Got stuck in and job done. Brought the parts he might need to save having to go out and buy them while on the job. Highly recommended. Local to east Auckland too. And a really nice chap to top it off. Thanks so much.
Gave Andy a call to come and look at a leaky shower. Was round the next day, got the parts he needed and got it sorted. Top guy and would highly recommend.
I called Andy at short notice as I urgently needed a plumber and fortunately he was able to fit my job in on the same day. His communication throughout was excellent and he fixed my problem and then went one step further noticing another location that would have the same problem in the future, so we got that fixed as well. I found Andy on No Cowboys and due to the large number of positive ratings I gave him a call. I would not hesitate to use Andy again and am very happy to recommend Andy.
Andy turned up the day after my phone call He really quickly sorted all of our problems A pleasure to deal with and would highly recommend

Andy was exceptional and efficient from start to finish. He quickly assessed the issue, provided clear explanations, and resolved everything promptly. I appreciated his transparency regarding costs, with no hidden fees. If you're looking for a reliable plumber, look no further than Andy, he's the best! Andy’s preparedness was impressive. He arrived on time with all the necessary tools and parts, demonstrating his commitment to the job. He quickly identified the problem without wasting any
Andy responded my message quickly and came very promptly on the same day. He quickly diagnosed our leaking problem in vanity which is next to the wall of a bedroom and soon fixed it. He is so friendly and easy to communite. Plus his charges were very reasonable. I would be very happy to use him again and would not hesitate to recommend him to others. Janet
Would not hesitate recommending the Handy Andy bussiness!! Very proffesional, friendly, solid advise. He is there the expected time and keep you informed all the way . Reasonably priced, always a bonus!
Have used Andy on several occasions and would highly recommend him.He has a great personality and knows his stuff.He is very timely and an excellent communicator and does a very good job.
Very efficient, reliable and extremely professional. Highly recommended.
Good communication from Andy in scheduling the job; and Josh completed it efficiently and to a high standard. Both a pleasure to deal with. Highly recommended.
I called Andy as the gib wall on the other side of our shower was starting to soften and the bottom. Andy was very helpful in reviewing the damaged gib as well as the shower area to assess a cause. He had also advised which trades I'd need to contact to resolve without charing for the initial inspection. Really appreciate his advice and quick assessment.
Found this Company through Google. Called Andy. He responder quickly. Was great to deal with. Did a great job at a fair price. Would recommend and use again.
Great service, excellent communication, no issues whatsoever. Andy was very helpful replacing our busted hot water cylinder, communicating promptly through email over a weekend and installed a new cylinder by Tuesday. Fast and efficient, would highly recommend.
Andy went above and beyond to get our blocked drain sorted…we inherited the problem from the previous owner of our home with many years of fat build up. Andy was quick to respond to messages and problem solved on the spot. We are thrilled to have drains running clear and highly recommend Andy as this was no pleasant job yet he did it with humour and good grace.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
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.
