Leaking faucet replacement

I needed a leaking faucet replaced urgently in a rental property. Tom quickly identified the tap from photos, purchased a replacement and arrived a couple of hours later to replace. Great professionalism, cleanliness and quality of work. Also Tom seemed like a really nice fella. Would recommend.

Water tank install & solar hot water heater

We have hired Tom and the team at Offgrid plumbing to do a variety of jobs over recent years. The jobs included installing our water tanks, installing a solar hot water heater, replacing roof gutters that were badly constructed and installing standing seam cladding to waterproof our house’s upper storey. Each job was quite complex. We were very happy with the team’s problem solving, their attention to detail and the very high quality of their work.

Gas Leak Repair

Off Grid plumbing investigated a gas leak at my apartment and then installed a new gas line. They were fantastic from start to finish. Tom answered all of my phone calls, provided helpful advice and did the installation work the day after he came to quote for it. They did a very neat job with the new gas line. They were also happy to do some extra bits and pieces that I asked for. Would highly recommend!
