I had a great experience with the team at DP when they promptly addressed my hot water piping issue. George worked efficiently, and he was friendly and professional throughout the visit. He did a thorough job and took the time to ensure everything was done correctly. I would definitely recommend their services and would not hesitate to call them again.

James was professional and knowledgeable. He explained my shower leaking issues as I was not able to attend myself. The plumbing work was completed promptly. And I was advised next steps with Tiler to make water proof. Very helpful and would definitely recommend to my family & friends.

The team at Doherty Plumbing provided exceptional services at very short notice to fix my hot water system. Their quote was very fair and honest quote where other plumbers were charging extortionate amounts for the same problem. They were able to fix the issue within the day and communicated very well. I highly recommend their services.
