Newman Plumbing

What a legend! Living local I’ve used Newman Plumbing a few times, and each time I’ve had prompt, professional and friendly service.

There’s always a big worry about hidden fees with trade jobs, but Russell always gives a price up front, explains the job, and fixes issues so they stay fixed.

Absolutely recommend for any of your plumbing needs, and the first guy I call when I need something fixed! Also made sure right from the start of his latest call-out that I had his proof of vaccination.

Called Newman Plumbing as our toilet and sink etc were not draining quickly. 30 mins later Russell was at our front door and an hour later our blocked pipe (tree roots) was all sorted. I appreciated the way Russell explained what he was going to do, how much it would cost and his generally courteous and professional manner. Would gladly recommend this local plumbing business to my family and friends.

Not very happy with the service, or the response to my initial review.
After receiving good quality work with a previous hot water system issue, I called to ask for urgent help to fix a blocked sewerage pipe and received no support. After asking several questions about my predicament, Newman abruptly declined to help. There are no Covid restrictions that apply when a customer cannot flush their toilet: it is an essential service and I had already checked this with the DHHS Covid hotline. Every plumber knows this.
Fortunately several other plumbers and handymen were willing to help. The handyman that came quickly fixed the problem that night - a simple blockage that fortunately was above ground.
I felt that Newman Plumbing were not sympathetic to my situation on this occasion, which I expected as a repeat customer.

Russell from Newman Plumbing was a pleasure to deal with and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend his services for all your Plumbing needs. He was very quick to arrive when my mother urgently needed a plumber to unblock her drain, was professional and took the time to explain things in layman's terms. He also provided us with several options to avoid this happening in future and didn't do the hard sell for the most expensive option. We will definitely be using Newman Plumbing for all our plumbing needs in the future. Thank you so much Russell for all your great work and your advice going forward. Liz and Ian.

Newman Plumbing are excellent. Russell gave us a quick (and accurate) assessment of our leaking shower and bathroom vanities, gave a *very* competitive quote, and immediately repaired the problem. Russell is professional, highly experienced, and focused on the task. No add-ons, no up-selling, just an excellent and efficient repair. Thanks, Russell!

Russell was so efficient and professional when he came to my house this morning. Both of my leaking tap issues were fixed quickly and he was able to sort out a drain problem that I didn't even know I had.
Russell took the time to clearly explain what needed to be done and the cost before he started the work. I really appreciated that.
I would definitely recommend Newman Plumbing.

I called just after 9am needing dripping basin taps replaced. Russell dropped in between his booked jobs to take a look, provide a quote and from his truck showed me the taps he would install. Russell then came back at 3pm as agreed, installed the taps, cleaned up and checked my water pressure. Great to have the new taps installed so now we won't be wasting water! Thanks Russell! I will keep your details on the fridge in case we need you again for another job.

I would not hesitate to recommend Russel to anyone needing a plumber, he is professional, prompt and reliable. He takes the time to listen then explain what's required and the cost, he has a wealth of knowledge, skill and attention to detail. A genuine nice bloke who goes the extra mile.

Russell came same day I rang for fairly urgent work. Our sump pump was having a few issues and with the fall of land around here we’d have water up to the back door. He fixed the pump for me and was very friendly and knowledgeable. I recommend as a great local plumber.

I have use Newman Plumbing services twice in recent times.

Russell fixed my gas hot water service and my gas dusted heating unit.

Both times Russell was extremely reliable as to when he said he would arrive. He explained in clear terms the problem and the solution.

I found Russell to be highly professional and reliable.

I have.no hesitation in recommending Russell to for any plumbing work needs.

Newman Plumbing has been attending to my home plumbing needs for over 20 years. Always reliable, knows his work and is friendly. I have recommended him to a friend and she was completely satisfied too.

I was more then happy with the service provided
by Newman Plumbing in sorting out leaking pipes in my backyard. Friendly and more then happy
to explain everything that was involved with the job.
Same day service was excellent!

Russell Newman is amazing. I don’t know any plumber that arrives on time like Russell. I trust him if he says You need a New Heater! He is very quick in his work and a clean worker. I have known him for 30 years and would not use anyone else. Highly Recommend Russell

Have engaged Russell twice this year: cistern replacement and new gas HWS. Best plumbing service I have had. He arrives fast and on time, listens to your issues, advises you from a depth of experience, and delivers with skill and attention to detail. No reservations in recommending Newman Plumbing.

Russell has been my plumber now for over 10 years. I trust him, he is reliable, friendly, prompt and approachable. Always does a great job. Highly recommend his services.

Russell Newman has been informative, reliable and well presented. His competence and friendliness is second to none. Been using him for years and am very impressed.

Russel was very friendly, and knowledgeable. He explained everything that he did very clearly, and answered all our questions. Highly recommend him for your plumbing needs.

Very disappointed. He could have told me of a rough estimate of hiring a camera to check the pipes. Instead he vaguely stated that it is going to cost a fair bit for hiring a camera although I asked how much a few times. He turned up on the day with the camera and told me it is going to cost approx. $1000! I wanted to send him back but decided to go through with it because it was partly my fault that I had booked him to come and I didn't listen to my gut feeling. I just wanted things to get done before I traveled overseas. Anyway, he could have recommended that he could flush the pipes first and if this had not fixed the issue, he could hire a camera which was going to cost this much.

Russell was fantastic. He responded promptly to our call, came out and assessed the situation and rectified the issues within two hours. He worked in a clean and efficient manner plus added additional checks around the home.

Fantastic work and friendly service.
Cleared blockages in our house pipes and installed a new hot water service.
Highly recommend. Competitive pricing also.
