    I rang them early morning & they arrived on the same day. They found the leak which was under the house, fixed it promptly. The plumber was helpful & friendly, communicated well. I'll use them again.

    Tim arrived on time and quickly and efficiently got to the work needed - snaking out a blocked storm outlet. All working now like it should and as I hoped. Great service from Doherty’s!

    Of the many plumbing services they offer, this is the second time I've engaged them for different types of work. James has been very helpful and efficient in scheduling a time for a roof leak repair. Very pleased that the work was completed promptly. Trust that they have addressed the issues at hand.
