WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Matthews Plumbing were a pleasure to deal with! Came a couple of hours after I called them to look at our gas hot water heater which wasn’t working. Told me that I would need a new one (which wasn’t a surprise!), approximately how much it would all cost and were here the next morning to fix. Definitely recommend and would use again.
