Couldn’t be happier with my new bathroom!!! Thank you so much for organising an electrician to install a power point for the new hot water unit after my electrician cancelled on me. The team was punctual, honest, and went above and beyond to get the job done. Communication was excellent, the pricing was fair, and the workmanship and quality of the… Read more

Geoff from neighbourhood plumbing came out this morning to drill out a blockage, really happy with his service, extremely friendly guy. Would definitely get him back for any future work Show reply
Kent provided outstanding service when we had a blocked drain at our property. He responded quickly, arrived on time, and was extremely professional throughout the entire process. The plumber clearly explained what was causing the blockage and efficiently unblocked the drain with no mess left behind. Everything is now running perfectly again.… Read more · 1
Honest pricing, great communication, and top quality workmanship, highly recommend Kent to anyone needing reliable and prompt plumbing services.
This company is the reason people fear tradies ripping them off. Unreliable, VERY dishonest, unsafe and INSANELY overpriced. For a detailed experience, read on: I paid $945+GST for an unsuccessful balcony leak detection package that was only partially conducted. They offer a "satisfaction guarantee" and [Name Removed] who attended promised we… Read more
wouldn't pay if he didn't find the leak. They didn't find it and we were still expected to pay. More concerning than missing deliverables (they never conducted the CCTV drainage inspection promised) are the blatant lies across the report. It was never confirmed that there was a blockage in the drain, a blockage was never cleared and no post-clearance testing was ever completed. Their conclusion that "no additional action is necessary" is completely contradictory to their intention to charge me a further $700+ for additional work that another plumber confirmed would have been both unnecessary and unsafe, likely doing irreparable damage to our property.
In addition, we were both double booked and no showed within the same week.
I've attached the breakdown of what we paid for and what we received.
I gave Neighbourhood Plumbing a full week to propose a remedy to the above situation but received zero acknowledgement. No apology and no refund.
It's truly mind boggling to see so many positive reviews for this company.
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
Return Customer. The Plumbers from Neigbourhood Plumbing are professional and dependable. Experts that are well supported by a first-class administration section. Two and have years ago they laid a new sewer section for me. No hassles. This time a new hot water service and affiliated pipework. Again perfect professionals. Excellent Work. … Read more · 1
Perfectionists. No shortcuts. I am a plumber myself who is now too old to do such work myself. I no longer bother. It is easier to just ring Neigbourhood Plumbing instead. Thanks this time to Matt, Ahed and Eddie (Plumbers) & Megan (Office Manager). Wayne Gray Registerered Plumber No 23919

In-depth reviews
If you’re looking for a plumber in Victoria, I can honestly say this is one of the best plumbing services I’ve ever dealt with. From the very first phone call, they were professional, friendly, and completely transparent about the work that needed to be done. They took the time to explain everything in simple terms, provided clear pricing upfront,… Read more
and made sure I understood all my options before any work started.
What really stood out was their honesty and trustworthiness. They didn’t try to upsell unnecessary work or add surprise costs at the end of the job. Everything was discussed beforehand, and the final bill matched exactly what was quoted. It’s rare to find tradespeople who are this straightforward and genuine.
The quality of workmanship was outstanding. They arrived on time, treated my property with respect, kept the work area clean, and completed the job to a very high standard. You can tell they take pride in their work and genuinely care about customer satisfaction. Any questions I had were answered patiently, and they made sure I was completely happy before leaving.
Their communication throughout the entire process was excellent. They kept me updated, arrived when they said they would, and were easy to contact whenever I needed assistance. The level of professionalism and customer service was second to none.
I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, honest, and skilled plumber in Victoria. Whether it’s a small repair, maintenance work, or a larger plumbing project, you can feel confident knowing you’re dealing with people who genuinely care about doing the right thing. Finding trustworthy trades can be difficult these days, but this company exceeded my expectations in every way.
Without a doubt, they will be my first call for any future plumbing work, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to family, friends, neighbours, or anyone needing a plumber. Honest, transparent, reliable, professional, and highly skilled – everything you could ask for in a plumbing service. 5 stars and highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
They give you a window of 4 hours instead of an appointment time. I was given the window of 7am to 11am, but nobody showed up. Had to call the office to try and get an update and was told 'there's nothing they can do about it' if the job isn't attended to in the allotted time. I spoke to [Name Removed], who said she would check with the assigned… Read more
plumber and call me back, but she didn't call back at any point.
The plumber himself ([Name Removed], who was lovely) did call to update me at around 3:30pm and then attended at 4:30pm. The work done by [Name Removed] himself was great, but the route to get there with the office and scheduling was pretty unprofessional.
>>> They then responded to my Google review 2 months later claiming 'after reviewing our records thoroughly, we have been unable to locate your details anywhere within our system' which is a blatant lie and I have added my proof to this additional review. They have made this claim beneath a number of negative reviews, but surprisingly enough have no trouble with the positive ones.
Thank you for your review. To clarify,… Read more

Look no further, pick up the phone and contact Neighbourhood Plumbing, you can thank me later – I rang Neighbourhood Plumbing on Wednesday evening, 7pm. I was not expecting my call to be picked by anyone, being so late at night, yet it was and it was arranged that Matt was to come out next day between 7am - 11am. Matt, courtesly telephoned me at around 7.30am to inform me he will be arriving at 8am. Matt, knows his stuff, my house is… Read more · 1
heritage and all underground pipes are heritage too, 100 year old galvanised pipes, under thick blocks of reinforced concrete. I could not see where the leak was, yet Matt too out his yellow spray can, marked the spot and confirmed he will send someone out tomorrow at 8am to address the leak. Chris arrives at 8am, with a beaming and positive attitude heads to the marked spot and it was heads down and bottoms up. He was a trojan, Chris cut out sections of thick reinforced concrete. Dug up and exposed burst water service, disconnect damaged pipe clean/deburr pipe in exposed location, the list goes on. Chris was meticulous in his approach to every stage, in addressing this leaking pipe ensuring I was receiving A1 quality works and NO SHORT CUTS. Matt, Chris and Chris Junior, are soulful, relatable, trustworthy and reliable and will go over and beyond the norm to address and complete the job in a professional and timely manner communicating their progress to you throughout the day. I highly recommend Neighbourhood Plumbing. They are rich in knowledge and skills that shine through the work that they do.

refreshing to find trades who genuinely care about their customers and take pride in their work. Will definitely be using them again and recommending them to family and friends.
Called neighbourhood plumbing as a pipe in my backyard was overflowing with sewage. They came out the same day inspected the issue explained what was wrong. They resolved the issue the next day. Job was done very quick and cleaned up better than how they left it. Thanks to Mark and Ramiel from the neighbourhood team for doing such a good job. Would recommend.
Highly recommend this plumbing service! They were prompt, professional and communicated clearly throughout the entire job. The work was completed efficiently and to a high standard, and they left everything clean and tidy afterwards. Great customer service and fair pricing. Will definitely use them again in the future.

⭐☆☆☆☆ Avoid. Avoid. Avoid. My experience with [Name Removed] / Neighborhood Plumbing was extremely disappointing. I paid a large amount upfront and regret it. Communication was professional until payment was received. After that, I found it very difficult to get answers regarding the job and my concerns. On multiple occasions, I felt dismissed… Read more
and the level of customer service was extremely poor.
I found the communication rude and unprofessional and I lost confidence in the technical solution that was being proposed.
My advice is simple: do not release significant payments until you are satisfied that the agreed work has been completed. Make sure everything is documented in writing and independently verify any proposed solution.
I have lodged a complaint with Consumer Affairs Victoria due to the unresolved issues.
Based on my experience, I would not use this company again.
Thank you for your feedback. At this… Read more
I wish I could give ZERO stars. They misdiagnosed fault with heating system and charged $10000 to repair when Unitests in Cheltenham came out and did full service and changed the capacitor for $120. I would totally hate to imagine how many elderly or vulnerable people they have ripped off. Must be Metropolitan rebranded they are operating under… Read more
multiple business names such as local plumbing and neighbourhood plumbing. They asked me if I live alone it with a partner or husband and it was highly unnerving experience.
Thank you for taking the time to share… Read more
Couldnt call our usual guy so I called this company as it was urgent. The guy came in quote $900 for a paper blockage, need to take the toilet out, put the camera in and so on. I paid $75 service fee on spot because it was suspicious enough. I dont want troubles. Then, the job took our regular plumber ( Thank god he answer the phone) 10 mins to fix and $750 cheaper.

Called these guys out from a couple we new who used them before had a blocked drain and they came out quickly and cleared our sewer, highlighted why is blocked in the first place, combination of roots and wipes. Recommended a root cut and a reline. Great service We will call them again if needed.
I recently used Neighbourhood Plumbing for numerous plumbing problems around my house and couldn’t be happier with the service.

tradespeople who genuinely care about quality workmanship and customer service. I would highly recommend Neighbourhood Plumbing to anyone looking for reliable and honest plumbers. Thanks again to the boys for the excellent work!

I could not be happier with Neighbourhood Plumbing I had a major leakage in my kitchen sink that started to cause water damage I called them and told them the problem they had Ramiel sent out to my house to help in under 3 hours.I am very happy with the work and very impressed with Ramiels skills such a nice well spoken young talented man will definitely call them again for any services I need in future
had a great experience with kent. He did a great job at replacing my hot water system quickly and he was very professional. The new system is working perfectly and they left everything clean when they finished. Would definitely recommend them to anyone needing plumbing work done.
The boys were patient, efficient, and genuinely caring. They assisted my mum with her ducted heater and not only made her feel comfortable, but also took the time to explain everything to her. Even with English being her second language, they showed nothing but patience and kindness. Not to mention, their craftsmanship was outstanding, and the way they left everything spotless was the icing on the cake. We couldn't be happier with the service.
Do not touch this [Content Removed] with a barge pole. Called them to check out our ducted heating as it was not working after a power outage. Plumber came out came in with just a drill and drill bit undone the top. Got on his mobile to look up something? I suspect looking at You Tube for a fix. Said that due to power surge needed replacement of… Read more
heater at a quoted cost of $10k and a 2nd quote for $2.6k for replacement of gas valve with no guarantee that this would fix it or last. At no stage did he do any diagnostic, didn't check the gas valve, motherboard, burner, igniters, wall panel or anything else. I also advised him that no error messages were displayed by the unit. On these two quotes I referred this to our power company due to power surge. they sent me details of the power to the premises and all were normal readings and no such power surge. Needless to say they denied the claim as I suspected.
I then did my own diagnostic and it was just the wall control panelthat went out of programming due to power fault. I reprogrammed it and heater is working like a charm. I was charged $65 for the call out and that was just a waist of money and time. I could have been a mug and paid either of those quotes for nothing. Be very aware of this company.

Very friendly on the phone but not reliable and no communication. I had Neighbourhood plumbing booked in for a leak detection - paid a deposit - then waited at home for the 4 hour window they said they'd arrive. 4 hours later i had to call to find out what was happening only to be told it can't be done today. Rebooked for some days later and was… Read more
told i'd be the first job of the day arriving at 7am. when i hadn't heard anything by 11.30 i called to enquire, and was once again told it wouldn't be happening today. Am now awaiting the refund of my deposit (fingers crossed)... In short, too unreliable if you require the work to actually get done and non-existent comms

This company almost cost me $5685 claiming they needed to dig up my backyard including earthmoving equipment and replace pipes when an actual local plumber fixed the issue for $550 with a shovel. Sadly l paid a $1000 deposit of which they kept and was left with sewage all over my fernery. Definatly do not recommend in fact avoid on principle alone
Thank you for your feedback. As previously… Read more
