I can recommend Plumbing & Electrical Doctor. We put in a call at 8.45 in the morning and Matt arrived an hour later to fix a leak in the toilet. He did an excellent job and serviced our second toilet. We found him helpful, friendly and polite. Thank you Matt for doing such a good job.

James B.
Had a very good experience with the Plumbing Dr. Nathan was very professional and offered options and quote. Work was carried out with a minimum of fuss. I will definitely be using them again if and when required.
Jenny G.
Another excellent job by the Plumbing Doctor. They fitted a new tap for me and it looks superb. They actually came to do a quote but it was outside my budget sadly, as it was a much bigger job than expected. But while they were here, they also put some silicon around my bath taps, which the installers had failed to do.
Paul K.
Got these guys to do a reline on a toilet pipe that blocked repeatedly due to root growth. They turned up when they said they would. Charged what they said they would (which was heaps less than digging up the bathroom floor to lay new pipe). Professional. Polite. Good value. Job Done. Highly recommended.
Sue S.
We are very pleased with the services of the plumbing and electrical doctor ,they did a fantastic job and were so obliging and friendly, thank you so much for a job well done
Shane
Great service!! We had our sewer line replaced and the guys were amazing. Despite having to dig up the yard a bit they kept it nice and clean and repurposed some of the soil in other areas of the yard. Would definitely recommend The Plumbing doctor.
Ethan B.
Jarrod was excellent, replaced my electric water tank with ease and did it at a very high professional standard! Very easy going and great at explaining anything to do with the hot water system. Great bloke would 100% recommend to anyone :)
O X.
Jerrod came to the rescue when we had a blocked drainage and he resolved issues very efficiently. Would recommend Jerrod to anyone who requires plumbing services. He is energetic, positive and professional.
Maureen F.
Jerrod from The plumbing and electrical doctor has just done an incredible job of unblocking my two toilets. He was professional and experienced in unblocking the supposed dissolving wipes that caused the problem. He was helpful and so pleasant. This is certainly the only plumber I will use. I can’t recommend him enough
Ross D.
The whole end to end process was very good. It was easy to book, the payment arrangements clearly spelt out, arrived on time, completed the work cheerfully and professionally, to a good standard and warranted, and billing was simple. I was very happy with the whole service and would happily refer others to call and use them.
