John The Plumber

I’ll be honest. I’ve never had good experiences with tradesman. I had a plumber who took three hours of a Saturday morning to install my dishwasher only to bugger up the inside racks. Another time,an electrician offered to waive his fee if I had sex with him.

That was then. This is now. And now I have John the Plumber or as my sister calls him, Harry-Have-A-Chat.

Boy can this bloke talk. The thing is, his prices are cheap and the service is impeccable.

My dunny was leaking and I did some ring arounds to the local plumbers. On average the call out rate was $100 plus ‘spare parts’.

I found John the Plumber through one of my networks, a public relations consultant whose cousin was married to a plumber.

The great thing is, he just lives up the road from me.

John the Plumber charged me $70 for both the call out and the spare part to my dunny.

He loves cats, art and is an enthusiastic reader of England’s The Guardian (he’s a pom).

He doesn’t like John Howard but he loves his cuppa.

He’s doing some work for my sister and husband and always greets them with “better put the kettle on.”

They love him and they love his work.

So if anyone needs a plumber who is cost effective, reliable and does great work let me know, just remember to put the kettle on.
