    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.

    I have been dealing with Doherty Plumbing for some years and I find them to be professional, knowledgeable and prompt. Their costs are very competitive. They are quick and always fix the problem. They have been so competent and reliable, that I will always call them and never go anywhere else.

    I rang them early morning & they arrived on the same day. They found the leak which was under the house, fixed it promptly. The plumber was helpful & friendly, communicated well. I'll use them again.

    George came; did my work quietly and respectfully. Noted a problem (big gaping crack in the pipe under the bench), and asked if we would like to change it. No pressure applied, and just added it to his list when I gave the go ahead. Would use this company again and again.
