 AI reviews summary 

The overall sentiment for Mr Service Plumbing & Electrical is overwhelmingly positive, with many customers praising the company for its professionalism, rapid response times, and high-quality workmanship. Individual technicians, particularly Ben and Michael, are frequently singled out for their courteous nature and clear communication. However, while the majority of experiences are excellent, there are significant recurring concerns regarding aggressive sales tactics and opaque pricing, specifically involving vulnerable or elderly clients.

Pros
  • Exceptional Communication: Technicians are frequently praised for providing clear explanations of issues, offering detailed options, and keeping customers updated throughout the job.
  • Prompt and Reliable Service: The company consistently meets or exceeds expectations for arrival times, often attending to emergencies within hours and completing repairs on the same day.
  • Professional Conduct: Staff are noted for being polite and respectful of properties, often taking measures such as removing shoes or cleaning the work area thoroughly after completion.
  • Effective Problem Solving: Reviewers highlight the team's ability to diagnose and fix complex issues that other contractors had failed to resolve, particularly regarding blocked drains and hot water systems.
Cons
  • Pricing Transparency and Sales Pressure: Multiple reviews cite instances of "upselling" or pressuring customers into expensive, immediate repairs without providing written quotes beforehand.
  • Duty of Care Concerns: There are serious reports of elderly or vulnerable customers being charged excessive amounts (up to $8,500–$21,000) without family consultation or a clear breakdown of costs.
  • Inconsistent Emergency Attendance: Some users experienced significant delays or cancellations for emergency call-outs, with technicians being unavailable despite initial office confirmations.
  • Occasional Misdiagnosis: A few customers reported paying for unnecessary parts or labour due to an incorrect initial assessment of the plumbing issue.
Verdict

Mr Service Plumbing & Electrical is a highly capable service provider that delivers excellent results for the vast majority of standard plumbing and electrical needs. However, customers should be diligent in requesting firm, written quotes before work commences and may wish to supervise interactions involving elderly family members to avoid potential high-pressure sales situations.

We needed an emergency plumbing fix as there was flooding under our kitchen sink. Michael called and arrived promptly. He spotted the issue and rectified it on the spot. A new tap and hose with everything fixed quickly. Would recommend Show reply

Daniel was fantastic! He came out on a Saturday to check out our shower issue, figured out what was wrong, ordered the parts, and had everything fixed within two business days.

DUTY OF CARE NOT CONSIDERED - UN-NECESSARY EXTREMELY EXCESSIVE JOB FOR ELDERLY PARENT I was very concerned to discover, after visiting my father who choses to live by himself in his own home, that this business has appeared to have taken advantage… Read more

of my 93 year old father during an overwhelming & stressful hot water problem he encountered recently in his own home. I found that he was not given any options, such as rebates on old gas hot water systems etc and, as he would have been quite focused on having the hot water fixed, he has not understood anything other than trusting that his hot water would be fixed. Yes the problem was fixed but the business representative should have issued a quote before proceeding with the job to allow other family members to review & agree with what was being recommended. It is common knowledge that our elderly parents should not be making these sort of decisions by themselves and businesses need to be mindful of their duty of care to give this opportunity!

My 93 y/o father called this service provider (also known as Mr Service Plumbing & Electrical) after receiving a flyer in his letterbox, to assist with his hot water not working. A representative attended my father's home and after a conversation with my father took $800 payment on the spot and had him sign on a tablet on the same day for works to be done and, to my knowledge, without providing a quote let alone any idea on the total cost. The business attended the next day to 'fix' the hot water problem then took balance of payment, including Pensioner discount, approximately $8,500!

After speaking with the business' Operations Manager who agreed he would not expect his elderly father to make such decisions without referring to family also mentioning that on the day of discussions with my 93 year old father it appeared that my father seemed to understand what was discussed. However my father has no recollection of the total price discussed and was extremely agitated and upset with himself that he had paid such an excessive amount after the plumbers finished the job.

One of the directors has stepped in and also agreed that a 'duty of care' was not exercised prior to commencing this job and this oversight will be a main Toolbox focus moving forward. A refund has been offered and further incentives have been accepted.

I thankfully can say, on this occasion, this business has definitely understood the issue & has restored my confidence to use again if/where needed.

 Follow-up  · Feeling not overly satisfied with the result however $2,000 was refunded to my father, so final cost was $6,500!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In the meantime I have since sourced a couple of quotes that would have saved my father $5,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This business did not offer my father other affordable options including govt rebate offers Written quote still not provided Deposit was taken on the day via a portable eftpos machine‍, tap & go

 Follow-up  · I rang 247 Plumbing on the Monday, Ben arrived Tuesday to inspect, diagnose and arrange resolution and Alexander came the following day to fix the problem.

I booked 247 Plumbing for today with an appointment window between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm. By 8:30 am, no one had arrived, so I called to check. I was told the plumber would come and would call 30 minutes prior, as I needed to leave for the office by… Read more

noon.

The plumber arrived at 11:35 am without calling.

The issue was that cold water was not coming from the tap. I had already purchased a new tap from Bunnings as a precaution. The plumber said the tap was the issue and replaced it. The problem still remained.

Only after that did he check further and said the actual issue was the cold water filter cartridge under the sink. When I asked to replace it, he said he didn’t carry any filters. Instead, he disconnected the filter completely, meaning the cold water is now unfiltered.

I was then sent an invoice for $319.20 for work that did not properly diagnose the issue in the first place.

I now have two taps, both working, but if the plumber had identified the real issue from the start, I would have saved around $200 and avoided unnecessary work.

Overall, poor communication, late arrival, and incorrect diagnosis. I do not recommend 247 Plumbing.

I strongly advise others to avoid this company. My experience was almost identical to many of the negative reviews I've now read-the same pressure tactics-the same conditions, and the same unprofessional conduct. A technician attempted to pressure my vulnerable mother into a $21,000 "shower revamp" on the spot, I informed the technician that i… Read more

would be gatting a second quote, Brad the plumber went on and on about how "we will never find a better deal" & that "plumber's are dodgy"when I canclled the job the same day, I was told a manager would call me. Instead the technician Brad himself phoned my landline, raised voice "WHY DID YOU CANCEL" This was aggressive, inappropriate, and completely unprofessional. Throughout this process, the staff gave contradictory explanations for their charges, I was told they were keeping money for things like "driving my mum to the bank at my mother reques" (which is highly untrue)and "being on my property for over an hour" even though No Work was done..Their own staff could not provide a consistent transparent breakdown. After weeks of follow-up, they eventually refunded a portion of $299-this was after my mother had paid a $2,000 cash deposit. They returned the following $1,421 the following week, but the remaining $299 was only refunded weeks later and only after I repeatedly followed up in writing. (May 23 2026b Brad the plumber called my landline asking for me, once my mum informed him that I wasn't home, he told her that he would "pay me to take down my post"..?! My review will never be bought. Everything stated here is based on my direct experience and written communication with this company. Based on this, and the many similar reviews Ive since read, I would not recommend them.

Booked a plumber who came out - did nothing to locate leak or turn on mains to major water leak. Quoted me close to $3000, quickly charged me a call out fee & left. Went with someone else who took the time to properly identify burst pipe & fix it. I did address this with their office - written complaint, but because the plumber who looked at my… Read more

mains tap turned off from 3 metres away made a lucky guess the company was happy with his service & didn’t question the quote $1000 over going rate with 30percent discount applied. Wouldn’t recommend. Pretty poor.

I had Koby and Daniel come out and install my new ducted heater, On the first visit Koby and Reno took the old heater off so I could have the ducts cleaned. They then returned promptly after the cleaning and installed the new one, it was a pleasure dealing with Koby, Reno and Daniel and great to have our heat back on. Show reply
