    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.

    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.

    Tim arrived on time and quickly and efficiently got to the work needed - snaking out a blocked storm outlet. All working now like it should and as I hoped. Great service from Doherty’s!
