Customer Reviews

Tom Wooding wrote a review on Google Business:

“Really good service from these blokes. Called at the end of Level 4 and they were able to book me in less than two weeks after (most companies were not even taking bookings due to the high workload). In and out really quick and the banter from the sparky was A-grade. Definitely recommend these guys. Pretty affordable too (~ $150 for an hours work which is pretty good for a big-name trade company).”

“We were having renovations done after a flood and we had. We needed our gas cooktop reconnected, our waste disposal replaced as it was the wrong sort to fit our sink. The plumbers that attended were very informative and let us know about the waste disposal and arranged for an alternative unit to be installed. Also needed the connection for our cooktop upgraded. Really appreciated their professional advice and their friendliness, thank you.”

“Very impressed with the job. Both, the plumber and electrician, Todd and Jeff were pleasant to deal with, efficient and communicative. Highly recommend Clyne and Bennie and would have no hesitation in using their services again when required.”
