Highlights
"Martin and Josh did a great job of repairing and then replastering our kitchen ceiling. Lovely finish and very neat and tidy workers. Would highly recommend."
"Martin communicated well, turned up on time and did the job well. He wasn’t bothered about it being a relatively small job (1/2 a day) like many tradies! Would definitely recommend! I will keep his number on file."
"Martin did an excellent job plastering the landing ceiling. Prompt, efficient and top quality work. An honest tradesman who looks after the customer. Would happily use this company again."

Not hired. Cannot comment.
Awful. I posted a job, clearly stating my budget, this guy came over and quoted double that. told him no thanks. He kept bugging me, lowering his quote, then offered to do it at my budget for cash in hand and I would have to provide all materials. Told him no again. He kept emailing, texting and calling me, then offered to do it for my budget. Turned up with his dodgy looking behaving brother, started job then abandoned it leaving the house unsecured! Texted me saying, changed his mind, he's not doing it
Craig and his team delivered quality work and alerted us as soon as possible when it was clear that extra work was needed. They've were great at arranging a follow up visit to finish the work. Would highly recommend. Great work and nice guys.

Smart checks
Before you hire a plumber
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.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
