I found the guys at Cape Plumbing to be professional and easy to deal with. I have used them twice now, and both times have been emergencys. They have gone out of their way to make sure the job is done quickly to avoid any on going issues that I have had. I would recommend them to anyone.
Wow what service!! Arrived 1 hour early after very short notice. Found the problem and rectified within 3 hours. So respectful and understanding of our situation. Highly recommend this team. Thank you so much
The team at Cape plumbing were awesome from Start to finish. Right from booking us in through to completion of our gas fitting the whole team were friendly and professional. The boys that fitted our gas were informative, professional and did a very neat job. I would highly recommend cape plumbing and will definitely go straight to them for any future plumbing needs.
Miles has come to my rescue on many occasions, at the drop of hat, and remedied quickly & effectively, water leaks, which has avoided very costly repairs. He has recently carried out a new bathroom installation. He and his team, are a pleasure to work with. His prices are reasonable, and I have recommended him, to friends. Great company to deal with
Absolutely recommend Cape Plumbing. Service was quick and professional. They installed the gas lines and water heater in our motor home. A written quote so no surprises and a team who worked well together and did a fantastic job. Very polite and respectful staff.
This firm was incredible from answering the phone to providing me immediate service in a non-emergency situation. They moved the laundry sink to a new location, requiring moving the water connection and drain. At the same time, they removed a gas heater and closed off the gas fitting. They were prompt, professional, and did not leave a mess for me to clean up after they left. I am going to remodel a bathroom next, and will definitely use them. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
We used Cape Plumbing to renovate our bathroom/ toilet & Infinity installation. Great bunch of people. Easy to deal with and great pricing that was true to the initial quote. Will use again and would recommend. Thanks Miles and team.
The tradesman sent out is a real asset to the company, he was very professional and informative about the options I had to repair the leak. The replacement installation was also an easy process done professionally and in a timely manner. Very happy with the work done and would highly recommend Cape Plumbing to others.
