Donna Cushen2024-06-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t have been happier, prompt service and great advice . I can highly recommend them ! David Linnegar2024-04-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the initial contact to the plumbers getting out on site the whole process to fix a leak on the propoerty side of the water meter was A plus. Gary was brilliant in answering the multitude of questions via email I sent before we got the visit locked in. Lachy and Ben arrived on site exactly when we were told they would and identified the location of the leak and had it fixed super fast. They even answered questions for me about other works I wanted done to the house so will be reaching out again in the very near future to get the guttering on the whole house replaced. Highly recommend the team! Ben Jones2024-03-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It is a nice change to deal with a trade group that charges fairly, turns up when they’re supposed to and provides good advice and high quality workmanship. We had a new filter tap, replacement Insinkerator and replacement gas cooktop supplied and installed and we're very happy with the products and the installation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Whywait for your plumbing/gas fitting requirements. Scott GC2024-01-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot fault the service provided by Gary from Whywait Plumbing Services. He responded early on a Sunday morning to an urgent request to fix a broken tap (which turned out to be quite a complicated repair job) and worked on it until it was completely fixed. I'm extremely grateful for Gary's professionalism and expertise and wouldn't consider calling anyone else. Thank you, Gary!!

Good friendly service, did a great job thanks Keli Magerman2022-12-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gary from Why Wait Plumbing completed my Water Efficiency Certificate. From the booking to the completion of the service I was very happy with everything that was provided. I was kept up to date via email and phone. And have them booked out again at our new home to install fridge plumbing. I would not hesitate in referring Why Wait Plumbing. Gary was so friendly and efficient! Thanks Again! And see you next week! ✌🏽
