EXCELLENT Based on 7 reviews Posted on Peter MorseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve just had a difficult job done by Bristow plumbing, requiring ‘detective work’ to trace the source of an underground pipe issue. I’m very impressed with their professionalism and friendly service, and their ability to problem solve and complete the task to a high standard, no matter how difficult. I would recommend them to anyone needing a plumber.Posted on Catherine DavidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Bristow Plumbing. Harry and Lewis are amazing, and really know their stuff. When we moved into our home, we discovered the hot water in the bathroom would run cold after a few minutes, despite the tank being full. (Our home has a really unorthodox hot water set-up.) We tried different plumbers over multiple visits and many months, but no-one understood what was wrong. One visit from Bristow Plumbing and they cracked the code. Lewis and Harry understood what they were looking at, figured out why it was going wrong - and fixed it, no dramas. They were really professional - nothing was too much trouble for them. Plus they are genuinely lovely people!Posted on Tom KingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a last-minute plumbing issue, Harry and the guys at Bristow Plumbing came through on short notice. Really professional, got the job done efficiently without any hassle. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing a reliable plumber.Posted on matthew palmerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
