The Nixon Plumber did a few jobs on our new old house, including some repairs/replacements in the bathroom and installing a new hot water heat pump. Chris was friendly and a true expert. He resolved a difficult repair job with less fuss and cheaper than a previous plumber who had done half a job and then disappeared. Chris gave us a good price and never tried to upsell us, and he organised the other trades needed to install the heat pump. The Nixon Plumber did all this while rolling a cute, ironic business name.Posted on Reon HalversonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been using Chris from the Nixon Plumber for 4+ years and have had quality work and high praise for him from the beginning. I run a company that works alongside plumbers and have 10+ jobs a year with him. From the very fist job, he has been efficient, hard working, respectful to my clients and all round nice man to work with. He solves issues quickly and effectively and produces quotes for myself and clients that suit the issues and petametres at hand. It took me years to find a plumber like him and I went through many sole traders and companies to get there.Posted on Jon BillettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had a very easy and professional experience with Chris at the Nixon plumber. Very easy to organise a time for the works needed and to help me consolidate ideas for future works. Would recommend to anyone needing plumbing work done.Posted on Jonathan StathamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. called Nixon Plumber late on a sunday night after just moving into our new property, he picked up and came out at short notice. it was a unique hot water issue but he seemed to work out pretty quickly. Hot shower sorted, including a bath for our 2 year old (mid winter!!). highly recommended service.Posted on Lo TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As an owner of couple of old houses, I had way too many experience dealing with tree root blocking drain than anyone would like. Chris is by far the best plumber that I have had. At $350 for the first hour, it does appear to be more expensive than others, but that includes the cost of using the camera, which others charge extra for. At the end, Chris charged me on par or even a little less than what I paid last time for similar things. The invoice is detailed. He also send me the recording of videos. Very polite, great communication. Highly recommend.Posted on Diana DerekTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re a looking for a fair and experienced plumber you want to get Chris and his team out. We have a problem with our hot water system and Chris came out and fix it right away. He was recommend to me from a friend and now I’m recommending him to anyone who wants a 5 star Plumber.Posted on David HenleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
