100%"Matthews Plumbing have completed several jobs for us, at two different residences. Chris has always been very easy to deal with. He arrives promptly, has been flexible in working around our schedules, and leaves the place tidy when the job is complete. I appreciated having all options laid out, once he had completed his assessment, so we could go with what suited us best. Work has been carried out to a high standard, and we have always felt the price was competitive. Chris is reliable and… competent. I have no hesitation in recommending him and his team."Rating by: Lisa | Rating posted: 13th May | Contact: Chris Matthews | Job date: May, 2019Lisa•13th May•More details…

100%"Wanted to share an awesome customer service experience today by Chris at Matthews Plumbing.
Kitchen mixer stopped giving us water, googled local plumbers and made a call to Chris, who kindly talked us through what he thought the issue was. Hubby then sorted it within a few minutes.
THANK YOU
Awesome service, and will definitely refer you and utilize your services again!

95%"The team at Matthews Plumbing and Gasfitting Ltd were very helpful, responsive and professional. Chris priced the job within 24 hours of my message and then had his team and an Electrician, Scrap Metalist and Hot Water Cylinder supplier all on site the next day. The job was to replace a broken hot water cylinder and plumb a water/ice dispensing fridge. Overall the job was done well, fast and effective. The site was left clean and tidy and I was very pleased to have the issue of no hot water… resolved very promptly."Rating by: Amanda | Rating posted: 8th Sep, 2018 | Contact: Chris Matthews | Job date: Sep, 2018Amanda•8th Sep, 2018•More details…

100%"Cannot recommend this company highly enough. Chris went out of his way to find a septic tank expert when it became clear the initial job, due the the system installed, was rather specialised. He contacted the company and then came out twice to meet them and explain the requirements to them. They, however were a no show on both occassions. He handled the situation in an extremely professional manner. He kept in contact until the job was completed by the other company.
He has also changed the… element on my hotwayer cylinder , replaced water filters on my tank and fixed a couple of results of previous shoddy workmanship from other people. He is completely reliable and thorough and goes out of his way to unsure customer satisfaction"Rating by: Wendy | Rating posted: 6th Apr, 2018 | Contact: Chris Matthews | Job date: Apr, 2018Wendy•6th Apr, 2018•More details…

100%"I have used Matthews Plumbing and Gas Fitting twice, firstly to upgrade my hot water system to gas and connect to my new gas stove and plumb my new sink. Secondly, Chris in collaboration with the builder Dan he recommended updated our hideous old bathroom. Chris was/is fantastic to deal with, very reliable, excellent workmanship. He was great at overcoming and rectifying any issues that came up. We are very happy with Chris’s work and won’t hesitate to use his services again. More than… happy to recommend him to others.

100%"When the last thing you want is your hot water cylinder to die straight after New Year's, Chris came immediately to look at the problem on a very stormy, wet day even though he was on stat holidays. He explained what the issue was and immediately replaced the full gas fired cylinder the day the merchants re-opened. Very professional workmanship (copper work exceptional) and clean up so tidy that you would not think they had been. Would highly recommend using this business."Rating by: Alaine | Rating posted: 11th Jan, 2018 | Contact: Chris Matthews | Job date: Jan, 2018Alaine•11th Jan, 2018•More details…

98%"We had a great experience with Chris and his recommended builder Dan Norman. We were completely stripping and renovating two bathrooms. I had interviewed a number of prospective plumbers but I chose Chris because of the simplicity and reasonableness of his quote.They were utterly reliable, thoughtful and were able to demonstrate initiative when things (inevitably) didn't go quite to plan. Chris' quotes were accurate, and when there was a variance due to some unforeseen problem Chris was at… pains to explain all the reason for this variance. I would certainly recommend Chris and his team. He came to me on the recommendation of another person and I have already passed on his details to someone planning a bathroom overhaul."Rating by: Ted | Rating posted: 14th Jul, 2017 | Contact: Chris matthews | Job date: Jul, 2017Ted•14th Jul, 2017•More details…

58%"Very disappointed with this company. A very simple job of fixing a split pipe which you would think a plumber would be able to do but obviously not, we had to get a second person to fix the pipe resulting in two bills for one job."Chris Matthews responded:"As per voice mail and email reply - we went to the job, tested for leaks, and found the dishwasher outlet hose was split. We recommended a local Appliance Technician whom we have used before, to come and repair this, as plumbers do not service or repair appliances. We have since been informed by the Appliance Tech that he went to the job and the part was ordered from Fisher and Paykel direct and he has since replaced and therefor fixed the leak. As we attended this job we invoiced accordingly."Rating by: Megan | Rating posted: 28th Apr, 2017 | Contact: Chris | Job date: Apr, 2017Megan•28th Apr, 2017•More details, one reply…

We are newbies in New Zealand and I am eternally grateful for his guidance and advice. He assisted me in putting together a wonderful team of tradies
He and his team have replumbed 2 bathrooms a cloakroom kitchen and laundry.
His workmanship is excellent and he is totally reliable.
I have undertaken many building projects… in the past so can confidently say that I would not hesitate to recommend Chris to anyone who might be looking to build or renovate."Rating by: Wendy | Rating posted: 19th Mar, 2017 | Contact: Chris | Job date: Mar, 2017Wendy•19th Mar, 2017•More details…

100%"Highly recommended! From the get-go Chris and his team were superb. Initial contact by text was answered promptly and an appointment made to appraise the job. We needed our existing bathroom and laundry refitted, which included chipboard flooring to be replaced in both rooms, all fittings replaced and a new hot water cylinder. Chris turned up for the initial meeting on time as agreed (as did everyone each of the five days of the job) offered great advice and sent his quote promptly. He… works with a superb team of builders, electricians and shower installers, and managed the whole job for us without a hitch. Nothing was a problem! Aside from the superb result - with workmanship to a very high standard - communication was the key. Chris stayed in touch every day and answered each query in a timely fashion.

We had a few email exchanges over what replacement unit I was going to go for, and I found Chris very helpful and knowledgeable in that regard, replying promptly and suggesting the most cost-effective way to go, which I greatly appreciated. Turned up when he said he would and even called on day to confirm his arrival time. Installation was done in efficient and timely way, and Chris cleaned and tidied up when job… finished. Really, really nice guy to deal with, very professional job and competitive quote. Finding a good tradesman can be a bit hit and miss. At almost 70 I have encountered a few cowboys over the years. Chris is not one of them - he is a real treasure and I highly recommend him."Rating by: Pamela | Rating posted: 26th Nov, 2015 | Contact: Chris Matthews | Job date: Nov, 2015Pamela•26th Nov, 2015•More details…

I appreciated his direct approach with his experience and knowledge evident by the way he explains the work needed. He conveyed that the job was straight forward for him.
Due to the nature of the job he provided a verbal estimate.
The job was completed a day quicker and the cost was significantly less than estimated.

He turned up on time, at short notice and at no point tried to convince us it needed replacing (which he could have). We decided this month to replace it completely anyway, for peace of mind. Chris arranged supply, delivery and installation of the cylinder and did a great job, in the time he said it would… take, and at the price quoted.

13%"I hired Chris to do a simple job which required CC permit.
He supplied quote and confirmed that he is registered plumber and authorized to sign permits.Job took 2-3 times longer than initially promised. I receive lots of excuses but wasted few weeks.
When job was completed Chris asked for much more money when we agreed and blackmailed me that he will not give me his signature when I refused to pay. Quote was exceeded more than 30%
Quality of his job was acceptable but some cheap… chinese plumber did way better job for me for twice less cost. I believe he lacks some tools as he made twice biger holes in the wall than needed.
"
He is not authrised to sign permits and it took lots of time and nerves to get this job permitted.
Overall experience is very bad and I wouldn\'t recommend Chris to anybody.chris matthews responded:"i just wish if people were unhappy they would put the truth down .. if you saw my van it doesnt lack tools at all .. bottom line council mucked around as per usual and customer got upset with me . i said a verbal quote of 1000 and it was 1100 bout 10 percent .. everyone exagerates when they are angry "Rating by: Nick | Rating posted: 8th Aug, 2011 | Contact: Chris | Job date: Jul, 2011Nick•8th Aug, 2011•More details, one reply…

25%"I am not at all happy with the job Chris did for me. I called him out to look at a pipe under my bath which was blocking up. Once he\'d completed the job, I had to call him back to move the pipe back into its original position as he left it sticking out around foot from the basement wall. When he pulled out the old pipe he broke the concrete surrounding the grid it was attached to on the other side of the wall. The grid has since blocked up and for the first time in the sixteen I have been… living in this house, the water flowed back into the basement instead of out into the garden as it was designed to do because of the breaks in the concrete he created.
He also fitted the new pipe so that it is hanging so far down into the grid that it\'s almost impossible to get an implement down into it to clear it.
I\'m very unhappy with his workmanship and won\'t have him back to repair the new plumbing faults he\'s created.
I chose him off the internet because he belonged to No Cowboys and had good ratings. However, he\'s turned out to be just the opposite."chris matthews responded:"This pipe was under the house and the customer was right there all they had to say was could you please put it against the wall like the last one i was trying to save one fitting for the customer and did not see it as a issue . The old pipe was galv and as kathys husband pointed out the gulley was already cracked so i used a epoxy mortar which you can mould smooth for a awesome finish ...I put all the original concrete back together and joined it with the epoxy so nothing went down the gulley trap at all ..The drainage pipes are eartheware and will have tree roots protruding somewhere along the line or there would have being a fatty build up in the gulley causing the blockage .. purely coincendental..the pipe is easily accesseble and i would have no problem removing the gulley grate and getting my drainunblocking tool in..there are no plumbing faults i have created i simply cut out a galv pipe and replaced with p.v.c . theres nothing that can go wrong and i also clipped and strapped the pipe. p.s i came back at no extra charge to move the pipe exactly where they wanted it "Rating by: Kathy | Rating posted: 13th Jul, 2011 | Contact: Chris | Job date: May, 2011Kathy•13th Jul, 2011•More details, one reply…

100%"I needed urgent work done on our shower & toilet, so I texted Chris asking for a quote, he called me straight back and told me he could be there in 2 hours. He arrived on time, was great to deal with, and explained exactly what he was doing each step of the way. He fixed our shower catcher that had slipped under the house, securing it tightly back into position, he then re-siliconed the bracket to the shower tray, unblocked the pipe, & made sure it drained properly. While under the… house he checked for leaks from the bath, then fixed our toilet which was running and has never worked on half flush. He did all this within the hour for a good price. I\'m very happy and would recommend Chris to any mates looking for a new plumber."Rating by: Anna | Rating posted: 22nd May, 2011 | Contact: Chris | Job date: May, 2011Anna•22nd May, 2011•More details…

100%"Chris did all the plumbing on my new Pt Chev townhouse - from the mud through to the gutters.
He recommended 1st class fittings, the wet bathroom with two showers works great.
Other trades he recommended were excellent also.
I have used him on all my properties except the Wellington one as to travel time from Auckland but have even considered it as I know I wouldn\'t have to check the job afterward.
For a new build planned in Wellington I will be at least consulting with him for advice.
I… don\'t mind a call on 0211076455 if you want a verbal reference - or would like to view his work.- Pete"Rating by: Pete | Rating posted: 3rd Apr, 2011 | Contact: Chris | Job date: Apr, 2011Pete•3rd Apr, 2011•More details…

The water pressure was really low and when we had another plumber check on it, we were told Chris had replaced the high pressure cylinder with a low pressure cylinder. When we asked Chris about this, he maintained that he had discussed it with me and I had chosen to go with low pressure. This is totally untrue. He never… discussed it with me. Having spent $1,900 on it, I am faced with another bill to correct his errors. i would not recommend him; he is not reliable or truthful."Chris Matthews responded:"I replaced a low pressure hot water cylinder with a low pressure cylinder and the feltonmix mixing valves will tell you that st away as they are fmu which stands for feltonmix unequal pressure . The leak on the bottom was her tap which i tried to tighten the gland on and informed her that i may need to come back to replace it which i did at no extra cost.I also came back and put a new feltonmix mixer head and plate on designer series to give the tenants a better shower which it did and cleaned the filters out on the inlets to the mixers . I turned up to the job on time and have come back twice and the customer was always informed but did not understand properly regards chris .

After one week the same pipe burst again. and first he was reluctant to accept that it was the same pipe. but then he came and fixed the pipe without any charge following day.
that Same pipe burst again today....and now he is saying that the whole pipe system needs to be… changed and it will cost us $1000.
