The plumbing gang were excellent when they came to my house. Very hard working group who knew what they were doing and were quick and efficient. Their young plumber Oliver was also seemed well above his years and very confident in what he was doing as well. Great customer service would recommend to anyone!

I submitted a request on The Plumbing Gang's website on Tuesday evening after 6pm for a quote on a new continuous flow hot water system to replace the existing 15 year old one that no longer worked. I said it wasn't urgent. I recieved a response from Chris less than an hour later and Wednesday morning received a text, an email and a phone call… Read more

letting me know that one of their technicians could attend the property before 11am. Cam arrived just before 9am. He was professional and quoted 3 different options. One equivalent to the original 17l and two more that would cater better for a bigger family. All options were well priced and included everything needed materials, labour and a 20 year workmanship warranty. No extra costs, even if extra materials were required. I called later that afternoon with a couple of questions. Andy was amazing and answered all my questions. I got 2 other quotes from different companies, both companies were more expensive with less options and a disclaimer that the cost may be higher if extra materials or work was required. I received a follow-up call from The Plumbing Gang Thursday morning to see if I had any other questions. I told them I would call after speaking with the family. When I called Thursday afternoon to let them know the family had chosen option 3 they sent through an email quote, included pictures of the system and item and services included, which was everything. Including all certification and forms required by local government (the initial quote was hand written and given to me after Cam had priced the 3 options). I received a call within 20 minutes of the email and was advised they could complete the job today (Friday). This morning I received a text message advising the time the technician would arrive. I then also received a call from Anthony the technician to let me know he was on his way. He arrived on time, was professional, personable and provided exceptional workmanship. He ensured the area was cleaned after installation. Removed all the rubbish including the old system. The Plumbing Gang's customer service and workmanship is exceptional. If anyone is looking at replacing their continuous flow hot water system I would recommend not wasting any of your time getting more quotes. The Plumbing Gang surpasses any other company by a mile

Requested a quote for a hot water system replacement 50L electric to 125L electric. He offered to check out the rest of the plumbing since I had already paid the $88 call out fee - so I said yes, and advised that I also have a blocked shower drain but that I probably wanted to have a crack at unclogging it myself first. After looking around, the… Read more

plumber went to his car for about 50 minutes to write up the quote before coming back up. The quote for JUST the hot water system replacement was $5290+gst. They provided other options, as well as a couple of packages with other work, all of which were equally exorbitant. Mind you - I chose them because their Google listing says pricing from $950 for a hot water system replacement. I wasn’t expecting $950, but I definitely wasn’t expecting $5290! I received 3 more quotes, all of which were <$2,500. I got the job done for $2,200 by a small, local business (and gave him a big tip for being an honest bloke). The Plumbing Gang pricing is egregious and predatory. Massive waste of my time and $88.

Update: after reviewing they contacted me and offered to refund me the $88 but only if I took down the negative review. I’m assuming this is the only reason they have more positive reviews than negative ones. Keep the $88, I’d rather save even one person from wasting $3k plus.

Harry the apprentice plumber was polite, hardworking, and eager to help throughout the job. He showed a great attitude, paid attention to detail, and was always willing to learn. It’s clear he’s committed to developing his skills and providing good service. A credit to the team, and I wish him all the best in his plumbing career.

Phenomenal service! Ashlea was a pleasure to deal with and had a technician out within an hour to replace my hot water unit and finally have hot water after 2 days. Great service all the way through. Will recommend to everyone!

Shower screen installation was quoted, contracted, and paid for in full upfront, with a “guaranteed” 7–10 business day installation timeframe. What followed was multiple missed appointments for both measuring and installation, countless hours wasted waiting around, and more than 40 texts and phone calls trying to chase updates and them… Read more

rescheduling. Every missed appointment came with another excuse.

The job is now well overdue and far outside the original 7–10 working day guarantee.

When they finally arrived, they turned up hours late, completed roughly 25% of the job, then left saying they’d return the next day. They came back three days later and supposedly “completed” the work.

The "finished" job is rough, and now water pours across the floor and floods the bathroom every time the shower is used. I seriously question whether the installation even complies with Australian standards.

To make matters worse, I’m now still stuck in the ongoing cycle of calls and messages trying to get the issues rectified and the job properly completed.

I’m 33 years old and have never left a Google review before, but this experience was bad enough to warrant one. Extremely unprofessional from start to finish.

Also worth noting that although there are plenty of 5-star Google reviews, there also seems to be multiple new 5-star reviews appearing every single day, which does look somewhat suspicious.

Happy to amend or remove this review if the outstanding issues are properly resolved, but at this stage I would not recommend The Plumbing Gang.

We asked this company to come out to inspect a blocked kitchen sink. The guy spent 3 seconds checking out drainage before starting to not other minor faults in plumbing such as stiff mixers. He let us know the $100 call out fee included a plumbing inspection which we said we didn’t need, and that we just wanted the issue resolved. He said he had… Read more

to so he could find the issue and went around telling us every single plumbing fixture was faulty and would need to be replaced. He then sat in his car for 50 minutes writing a quote. When he finally came back in, the quote was over $4000 and he couldn’t guarantee it would fix the problem as he hadn’t put a camera in. By this point it was two late for his to do the work or us to get anyone else, before a weekend, with a still blocked kitchen sink. Seems like a bit of a scam to get paid $100 for no work and price themselves out of anyone wanting them to do the job.

The booking was to camera and jet blast a potentially blocked storm water drain. The call out fee of $88 included a complementary plumbing inspection to the house which I thought was good until I saw the quote of over $2000 to replace some very minor items that most home owners have capabilities of doing themselves. This should have been a red… Read more

flag for me to cancel works but I wanted my storm water drain cleared. They quoted $895 + GST for the drain which had to be paid up front before starting works. They found a section of pipe that was slightly squashed about 13m away from the entry point and wanted to quote me to cut up the driveway, excavate and replace that 13m length of pipe plus an additional 9m when the blocked section of pipe was below turf and not the driveway. Following me denying them of providing me more quotes, they packed up and asked me to leave them a 5 Star review as they get a bonus each month, which explains why they’re all 5 Star reviews bar the odd bad/true experience. When I asked about the cleaning of the mud/slurry sprayed on the front of my house and driveway, they asked me how I expect them to clean it up without washing it back down the drain. I suggested a wet vacuum but they don’t carry this equipment to clean up. It wasn’t until they left and I started the clean up myself that I realised that the storm water drain was still half full of dirt/mud & leaves. I’ve since had a licensed Plumber quote me nearly $1500 less to replace the minor items raised in the complimentary inspection. This explains how they make over $200K annually plus bonuses.

Fractured waste pipe - I was totally impressed with this company from start to finish. Customer service was excellent. Mitchell came and evaluated the work, gave us a quote, and then completed the repair from start to finish. Mitchell even called a day after the work was completed to ensure we were satisfied with the results. A big thank you to you for sorting it all out for us. Highly recommend!
