Another great experience with O'Shea Plumbing.
Scott and the team went beyond my expectations and fixed our broken sewer in a timely manner which did not interrupt our day to day family routine. I cannot be any happier with the experience, professionalism and price.
10/10 and again, a very happy customer. Thanks O'Shea team.

We called O'Shea Plumbing for assistance with a blocked drain. They were terrific right from the point of booking a plumber (far more professional than Jim's Plumbing or The Drain Man).
Andy the plumber was able to come the same day (others were quoting several days, if they returned the call at all) and came (with notice) earlier than originally booked. Andy was polite, friendly & professional - he explained the process & the options. Fees and quoting were clear & reasonable. There was no upfront non-refundable fee just to turn up. Andy was very thorough and resolved the issue in good time.

OSheas plumbing performed a gas heater service on my carrera wood fire place which has been converted into a gas fire place. I was very unsure who to contact about servicing and fixing it, as its not your stock standard gas fire place. The lady I spoke to on the phone was fantastic in helping to schedule their gas fitter. He was equally as fantastic to deal with. Super professional and completed the service with a Carbon Monoxide test. He tested all elements of the fire place, cleaned it and fixed the igniter which was set too low. Overall OSheas were amazing to deal with and good

We called OShea after another plumber couldnt detect the problem, and we knew that we had a problem for sure. Adam came and showed us options on how to diagnose, figured the problem in very short time with the cheapest way. Then proceeded to recommend how to fix the issue the most economical way with the least disturbances. Adam was very professional kept me updated with progress and any modifications to the plan. Would highly recommend Adam and OShea plumbing enough.

OShea plumber Kevin, arrived as scheduled and carried out his work diligently and professionally. He also provided useful tips and recommendations for further improvements to some of the plumbing and Hot Water heating system. He was a good listener and responded well to my needs. He is a very pleasant person and has a good sense of humour. I will certainly recommend OShea Plumbing to any potential customers seeking plumbing services.
