Metropolitan Plumbing we very quick at coming to my door for my blocked pipes. They removed roots from the pipes and cleaned up the sewer spill on the path

Booked Metropolitan Plumbing for a blocked drain last Monday. Someone came and suggested to do a hydrojet, we saw what blocked it and he recommended to keep on flushing whilst viewing it from the point of inspection. We didn’t see the thing that blocked our drain after a few flushes and when I asked where it was, he said it probably went down the drain. With the call out fee, it all costs 700+ for less than an hour of service. A few days later, we’re still encountering the same problem in the drain. Rang Metropolitan Plumbing and said that we will get charged with the call out fee and quote for another job even if we felt that they didn’t really fix the problem from the first time they came.

A nightmare to deal with and down goes the drain for our money and time! Absolutely disappointing!

Approximate cost: $750

Recommend? You have got to be joking. I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy. They charged me $5000 to swap over an electric storage HWS. $5000! That's on top of the $140 call out fee! And they took 3 days to complete the job. They even told me I would have to upgrade my existing powerboard to 'make it safe' even though the new unit was exactly the same rating as the old one. At a cost of.....wait for it.....another $4200! Unfortunately I had already accepted the five grand cost for the HWS, but I told them to stick it for the 'board upgrade'. They are predatory, and prey on desperate people who feel obliged to continue because they get slugged $140 just to come and have a look. Please, hire anybody else, just not these guys. Anyone else will be half the price. Part of what they charged me was $120 'tool hire'. They are a plumbing company, they should actually have their own tools, for God's sake! It's not like it was a difficult or tricky job. Old unit out, new one in. The clowns they sent couldn't even work out it was a blown fuse that was stopping it from working for 2 days after install. That's like day 1 of trade school right there. NEVER, EVER, EVER engage this company for any plumbing work. BTW, they also operate under the name Jim's Plumbing. Ever wonder where the money for their fancy vinyl wrapped vans comes from? Suckers like me. Learn from my mistake. Go elsewhere.

Approximate cost: $5000

My air con failed on a Saturday. Metro plumbing were called and came out the next day. They advised the ducted system could not be repaired and so quoted just under $10k to install a split system. Appeared to be a good service as the system would be installed within 36 hours. The missus looked at other Adelaide air con people and found the same unit available for less than $2500 completely installed. Metro plumbing are not trustworthy. DO NOT ENGAGE THEM.

Approximate cost: $9990
