Their website advertises that they can supply and install toilet cisterns and toilets but I called to request this service and was advised that it can't be guaranteed and it was better for me to source the items myself. Not sure why their website says 'We supply and install full toilet suites or just the cistern and toilet pan individually depending on your needs.'

I thought about it after my first phone call and decided to take the gamble and called back and made an appointment for Monday 12-3pm in the hope that their plumber did have replacement cisterns. I lost half a day pay today sitting at home waiting for a plumber that never showed only to call at the end of my appointment window to be read out details from my first call and told that I did not actually have an appointment booked. So disappointing given how much trouble I've had trying to book in a plumber elsewhere and now to be stood up because someone couldn't make a booking. Yes, I hung up after hearing that I didn't have a booking listed, that was better than saying to the contact centre person what I was actually thinking.

This is untrue as have voice recordings proving otherwise and it is disappointing that you have written this review. You was informed that we stock standard cisterns however if you wanted a specific brand or style you are better to source the cisterns yourself as our vans carry standard items and it not a show room. We advised you that our plumber would attend and provide you a quote. When you rang back you have stated that you put the phone down which meant this did not give us an opportunity to provide you with a solution, which we would of been more than happy to do so.

I'm not sure what part is untrue. I did call and make an appointment which I was advised was never booked when I called back.

Based on the reviews of your business I have since read and your hostile responses to feedback I think I'm better off that no one turned up. I wasn't prepared to take another chance and waste more time attempting another appointment.

Received a quote for $2950 - yep that's right THREE grand for 20 metres of drainage to contain seeping water from a higher garden bed and two downpipes from gutters running alongside a room.
What was requested was a drain with grates so water can seep through as well collect the water from the downpipes.
What was installed was a drain PIPE and so guess what now happens to the seeping water?

The problem is now worsened with water being collected at a higher level due to the pipe and now overflowing into the room.
Couldn't have done worse and wouldn't have believed a plumbing company could do this.
Really, really, bad example of drainage.
Still waiting for an apology from a supposedly professional company.

Tman it is disappointing that you have placed this review, We have discussed this with you and the work our plumber completed is the work that you requested, We have copies of the web enquiry you sent us, We have voice recordings and we have the written quote that you accepted, You have not paid for the work our plumber completed which we are pursuing, you received a reminder to pay the invoice and this is why you have placed the false and inaccurate review.
You requested that our plumber replace the downpipes only, not at anytime during the quote or during the work being completed did you request sumps and grates which our plumber recommended and you declined.
only after the job was completed did you ask for the sumps and grates, to which we advised you that we can complete for you at additional charge, again you declined and refused to pay the invoice.
As to any apology we completed what you requested us to complete, you declined our plumbers recommendation and have not paid for the work that has been completed to date.

My experience with Jims Plumbing was first class, our hot water service went on a Monday Night, Jims Plumbing was here ( Dennis ) at 8am the next morning, explained it was better to upgrade to a continuous flow instantaneous system instead of replacing it with our existing solar heated electrical system, was able to organize finance on the spot and we hot a new service running by that afternoon, Metrolec Electrical, ( Jims Plumbing Electrical Contractor was also extraordinary with their service as they had to leave a job down South to attend to our job in the Northern Suburbs ) to ensure the job would be finished that day. Would highly recommend the Jims Plumbing / Metrolec Electrical Team.

One of my outdoor taps was leaking and I had planned to call a plumber for several months, but I never got around to it. Then I started getting water hammer in my kitchen and laundry taps, so I decided to give Jim's Plumbing a call to fix both problems. The plumber arrived promptly within the specified time window and was very friendly. Finding my stop tap took a long time because it was buried in the garden. Once the stop tap was located, the plumber quickly fixed the outdoor tap. He then worked on the water hammer issue and managed to solve the problem after some trial-and-error. I was impressed that the plumber took the time to diagnose the real problem, rather than try and sell me unnecessary expensive equipment. In the end, once he made the diagnosis, the real problem was easily fixed (jammed valve on the hot water system).

I would certainly use Jim's plumbing again in the future. The rates are rather expensive, but I'm happy to pay a little bit more to guarantee great service. There's nothing worse than paying a plumber to come out and then the problem isn't fixed completely due to shoddy workmanship.

Blocked sewerage on a Sunday afternoon, called Jim's Plumbing, they turned up on time WOW!!!. Could have turned into a nightmare but the plumber turned up quickly, went straight to work and fixed the problem. He was very professional, polite and knowledgeable you cant ask for anything more than that. All charges were explained at the time of booking and then repeated by the plumber when he arrived.Can thoroughly recommend their service and will be using them again.

Approximate cost: $250.

Needed an old gas heater removed. Called Jims on a Tuesday evening and had a plumber out on the Wednesday morning. He was on time, efficient and friendly. Checked my gas line and found my oven/cooktop to be leaking. I'm in the process of replacing the cooking appliances but didn't know where to start! My current unit was capped and he advised me on how to go about replacing my appliances and the legal requirements I would need to factor in. Very happy with the service I received and would definitely recommend Jims Plumbing to everyone.
