What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Murphy Plumbing has built a reputation across Newcastle and the surrounding districts for prompt, professional work, with reviewers repeatedly highlighting the combination of efficiency and courtesy shown by the team. A number of customers describe jobs being completed quickly and correctly, from identifying and fixing a tricky water leak to unblocking sewer pipes. Communication comes up often: appointments are confirmed, progress is explained clearly, and follow-up after the work is done is standard.

Named staff such as Callan, Andrew, Jackson and Ashton are singled out for their knowledge, patience and willingness to talk customers through the work, including advice on issues that could be handled without further assistance. Renovation projects, including bathroom and laundry installations, are described as well scoped and delivered within the agreed timeframe and budget, while gasfitting and hot water work also feature in accounts of the company's services. Tidiness is another theme, with one customer noting that a messy job was left spotless. Reviewers mention that the same standard has held over multiple engagements, and the professionalism of tradespeople working alongside apprentices is also noted.

I can’t remember the names of the 2 plumbers that came to my home in Stockton. I told Andrew how well the plumber was teaching and showing the apprentice what to do. They provided me with detailed information about the plumbing jobs that they were there to do. Great work quick and efficient with follow up from the plumber. Those 2 need a reward or a bonus 😊

Ashton was very polite and did all the plumbing I required and even advised me on an issue I could deal with myself.

Had sold our home and two weeks off settlement the gas hot water system decided to die on us. It had served us very well and we couldn’t believe that it suddenly crashed. Called Murphy Plumbing around 4.50 pm ( who we have used many times before) and the service was fantastic. They arrived first thing next day, assessed the problem, fetched a new system and had it installed and finalised by 11.00 am. We could not have asked for more. Thank you so much, we highly recommend this company.

Logged an online call with Murphy Plumbing and they rang back next day. This is the second time I have used their services and both times were prompt, efficient and well executed. Jackson’s went out of his way to make sure the job was done, was polite and helpful. Would always recommend them for any job.

Reception promptly answered and tradesmen turned up on time. I exposed the leak and removed tree roots, but was still stung $330 for 30cm of pipe (4 minute job) and had an apprentice fee added on too. Work was fine, price wasn't.
