What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Prompt and knowledgeable service is the theme that runs through feedback on Northern Plumbing, a Townsville firm whose reviews time and again describe quick responses to urgent call-outs as well as planned work. Customers tell of blocked drains cleared without fuss, leaking solar hot water panels isolated and repaired on short notice, faulty hot water systems restored, dripping taps attended to and underground leaks located using noise detection equipment before the repair was completed. Several reviewers highlight how staff explain each step, share photographs and talk through the diagnosis and the fix in plain terms.

Names that come up include Gavin, Peter, Ryan, Sonny, Jaylen, Jalen, Camille and Alison, with office staff praised for their helpfulness and tradespeople described as polite, friendly and thorough. Reliability is a constant theme, as is the care taken to leave work areas clean once the job is finished. Reviewers also note that problems are handled efficiently, with work carried out to a standard they consider correct, and that advice given on site helped avoid unnecessary expense. The same customers tend to return for later jobs, citing everything from emergency attendance to new hot water system installations and general repairs around the home.

We had an underground water leak in our home that is pretty much all concrete and Peter, Jalen and Gavin from Northern plumbing did an amazing job to not only find the leak with their noise detection equipment but then also to complete the repair. I can’t recommend their outstanding work highly enough

Had a blockage and Peter and Ryan came out and made short work of it. Top blokes, polite and quick to get it sorted and showed pictured and explained everything concisely. Would use again

Peter came out on New Year’s Day, on a public holiday, in pouring rain and didn’t hesitate to get up on my roof to find the issue. He quickly located where the roof was leaking and sealed it up giving me so much peace of mind. Professional, reliable, and genuinely helpful when it mattered most. I can’t recommend Peter and the guys at Northern Plumbing highly enough outstanding service! Cheers and happy new year!

We’ve been using Northern Plumbing for many years, through business and also for our own properties plumbing requirements. Gavin, Alison and the team offer a 5 star service. Whether it’s an emergency call out, new HWS install or dripping taps they can be relied on.
