Why Choose Butler Plumbing
Johnathon did a fantastic job and provided great tips on how to avoid the same issue arising in the future, saving us money in the long run. Highly recommend these guys.
Adam C
Reily came today to assist us with a leaking toilet and I cannot recommend him and Butler Plumbing more. He was incredibly helpful, quick, trustworthy and even gave me advice for another quote I had received for the same job. They are very transparent, don’t rip you off and their work is quality. Highly recommend Butler.
Sally Hasler
100% recommended, butler plumbing has some amazing services and plumbers. My highlight though is Beau who attended me with such patience and was very helpful, made the booking process very easy and pleasant!
Claudia Estrada
Amazing fast efficient service. Thank you Jack and Michaela saved us from a swimming pool in our bathroom.
Richard Jones
Had a massive leak from a pipe under the kitchen sink and the lovely Jon was there within half an hour to fix it. Could not recommend both the plumber, Jon (and the Butler's folk who answer the phones to panicked customers) more highly.
Victoria Heywood
After returning home from a serious surgery to find the sewer blocked up I called numerous plumbers only to be told that they could maybe have a look at it tomorrow. I then called Butler plumbing and spoke with a very compassionate Michelle who told me not to worry she will sort me out, within an hour there was a knock on the door and I was greeted by a member of their team who had the toilet up and running in no time.
Justin Quirk
Tim, was right on time. Very pleasant and professional. He was able to fix the leaking bathroom taps without any fuss. I would definitely recommend him and Butler Plumbing.
Lynda McIntyre
When our toilet stopped flushing the other day, Butler Plumbing were quick on the scene and the toilet was flushing again in minutes. We've used them for years to fix bathroom and kitchen tap issues and they've always been professional, friendly, and go above and beyond. We would not hesitate to continue using and recommending them.

Each toilet was inspected and repaired as needed, dramatically reducing leaks, minimising emergency call-outs, and restoring previously unavailable rooms. Close collaboration with hotel management ensured a seamless process with minimal disruption to guests.
