Scott was brilliant, punctual and knowledgable. Friendly and helpful kept us informed all the way through the job. Didn't try to extend the job with unnecessary works. Works carried out to high standard as expected from a master plumber. Would highly recommend to those with plumbing needs.

Scottie is a legend! Highly recommend!He offers honest, professional and prompt service at reasonable prices.Before the appointment he asked me to send through a few pics so we could discuss, and he could come equipped with the correct parts for the job. He arrived on time, was professional and honest, he showed me what he was doing and why and that made me feel at ease that I was not being taken advantage of.Even though the work I requested was mainly in the bathroom he still took the time to check the kitchen for any potential issues.As a first home-owner, I feel much more at ease after his visit. Thank you.

Fantastic and prompt service for my urgent plumbing issue! It wasn’t an easy job but Scottie stuck with it and gave me some very clear and practically minded advice about my old plumbing challenges. Excellent work. Will use again. Thank you

Thanks so much to Scott for his wonderful service — honestly one of the best we’ve had so far. He fixed our leaking pipe, went through the house to repair all the worn-out pipes and taps that had been bothering us, and even cleaned up after finishing the work. He’s knowledgeable, professional, easy to communicate with, very friendly, trustworthy, punctual, and charges a fair price. What stood out most is that he doesn’t just treat it as a job — he genuinely wants to help people and make life easier. We’re really happy with his service and will definitely call him again for any future plumbing needs. Highly recommended!

We had a broken in wall toilet cistern and the parts were difficult to source. Scott from Guardian Plumbing scoured the internet and found a solution. If he hadn’t it would have meant ripping the wall out and putting in a whole new toilet and cistern. I can’t recommend Guardian Plumbing highly enough!!

Scott and Amanda from Guardian Plumbing are fantastic. They’ve been our plumbers of choice for many years for our house in Hawthorn. Reliable, helpful and value for money - say no more. Could not recommend them higher and we wouldn’t have anyone else.
