What our clients say…

  • Mike, the Matts and Josh are all brilliant. Their work is excellent, they're nice to have around (the most polite, tidy, courteous plumbers you'll find) and communication is great. They've fitted 2 new bathrooms and underfloor heating and have given us great advice throughout.

    Sarah Perry

  • Have used Mike Ruth through a few years of property renovation from the complexities of putting modern gas and plumbing in an old building to the seemingly simple fixes beyond my (very) limited plumbing knowledge. Perhaps the biggest complement is that whoever comes from the business seems to be able to find the right balance of explaining what they are doing and just getting on and doing it. Would very much recommend the standard of workmanship and the attitude they come in with.

    Jez Ralph

  • We've used Mike and his team for more than 10 years for urgent repairs, annual boiler servicing and most recently and new boiler installation. Mike and all the team are prompt, friendly, efficient and mega clean and tidy! They always go above and beyond and I have no reservation in recommending them to anyone who needs plumbing or heating services in or around Ashburton.
