I have been a customer of Horncastle Plumbing since its inception as a small business. Over the years, Cal has always replied promptly to my texts requesting his assistance and he and his staff have consistently demonstrated a calm, professional approach when working on my property. Once the work is complete, they have immediately followed up with a clear and thorough overview of the work done and when I've ask for it, have also provided me with advice about possible work in the future, to maintain the integrity of my 70's home. Having said this, I have never felt pressured to do further work and have greatly appreciated the advice.For all these reasons, I cannot recommend this small business highly enough.

I’ve used Horncastle plumbing twice now and both times they have responded quickly to contact, communicated clearly, turned up on time, given helpful advice, provided a quote before starting gotten the work done with no issues or concerns and all round have been professional and pleasant to work with. Will happily use them again.

Great plumbing business. Reasonably priced, quick turnaround, with good quality work and great advice. A real pleasure to work with.Scott from Horncastle Plumbing completed my recent fire tank installation.I've also contacted Cal from Horncastle Plumbing recently regarding gas fitting regulatory requirements for my upcoming alfresco area. Cal was very helpful and knowledgeable and Scott was sent out to provide a free quote for the work to be performed and confirm the design will be compliant.I'll also be using Horncastle Plumbing for my upcoming rainwater tank installation and for future plumbing work.

My laundry Tap was leaking nonstop,I got on this website, sent a message through message popup, had a response in not long but for some reason i keep the losing the message box . so I book online filled out that information and the next day a plumber came out at a agreed time i would be home. You get a message just before they arrive which is great service. When the plumber got here I was amazed he even changed his shoes before coming in, the job was done very professional service, good value for money. would highly recommend to anyone needing Gas or plumbing done

Five star reviews are spot on. Cal and Scott had a professional, 'can do' attitude when it came to plumbing in our new kitchen. Scott installed the new gas Cooktop, 1st and second fix waste and water including a high flow water filter, sink and dishwasher. We are very happy with the precise, professional results. Will definitely be using Horncastle plumbing in the future. Big thumbs up from us.

We had a plumbing emergency with one of our taps not turning off. My phone call was returned promptly and the team were really flexible and came the same day at a time I was able to be home. Professional, thoughtful repair and the work was completed efficiently. Very reasonably priced too. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this local business.

I have waited this long to post this review for a reason. I first discovered Horncastle when I needed urgent repairs and modifications to be undertaken at the residence of an elderly couple who I care for dearly, and they particular, capable and knowledgeable (but at that time infirm) due to elder-abuse and medical complications needed urgent and specialized works to be undertaken. I had to be particularly diligent in my choice of trades-persons, the couple being traumatized from previous treatment and thefts by those who they should have been able to trust, and I have known this astute couple for 35 years, their new anxiety and fear for other humans broke my heart as they had always been the first and most generous people to anyone stranger or not. Respectful and transparent persons were a must. As it happened, no other business replied as it was the nearing the festive season of 2018. But cal answered, and kept all promises promptly. As we needed to meet specialist aged-care and disability requirements, and were also working with works which involved RTWSA funding interactions, most plumbers would have avoided the job anyway. Not Horncastle. Said they were privileged to help a couple in such a situation, and they meant it. We warned them upfront of the abuse risks of family approaching the residence, and of likely funding complications affected by the abuse. Not a problem. Perfectly respectful, perfect job, perfectly cleaned up afterwards (including fixing problems/mess by RTW contractors without additional charge). Transparent and itemized invoicing as requested.Unfortunately the funding problems eventuated due to the Public trustee's mismanagement. Cal waited patiently 5 months for payment that was delayed due to both public trustee issues and further family-member payment obstruction tactics, and then issued final notice, respectfully, and was reasonable about that too. Horncastle is a small-business not a bank or credit-purchase or loan service, and their patience was extended to their detriment. Their work was stellar, Their price much better than others. More prompt and reliable than any other tradies I've ever dealt with. When they couldn't raise a response for Payment requests from the PT/Family-member Administrator they issued the debt notice in the only other name they had, the contact person for the job, Me. Not my property or works, Yes. But that allowed for me to fwd on the invoicing and letter of demand I received to the PT to advocate payment. After all that, no extra was even charged for holding costs he incurred!! (because he understood the elderly couple's situation). Scott was amazing with the couple, diligent, and at all times mindful of not leaving gates and doors unlocked/unattended. Would I use them again? Absolutely. Was I surprised that they would take future business from me (someone they had issued final notice to and got an absolute pre-emptive spray from)? Absolutely. Will I again? Yep, in January Hopefully.Have I recommended them? to everyone! (I only reccomend two plumbers: Ashley Hunt (separate business), AND Horncastle.10 stars. Perfect. Thank you Cal and Scott. An honour to have dealt with You.

My husband contacted this company through our daily paper and from that moment we were given very prompt service. Within a couple of days we were given a quote which we accepted and our new double bowl sink was installed. Scott, the plumber was very professional, courteous,also mindful of cleaning the area when he had finished. We are very happy with the fantastic job that he has done for us. We will certainly recommend this company, and definitely Scott.

I used Horncastle Plumbing a couple of years ago regarding some bidet installs. I had gotten a few quotes for the job, and while Horncastle were priced somewhere in the middle, they advised that the lower cost quotes might not be following the government regulations and not installing backflow valve protections. So I decided to go with them and they did an excellent job of it.Recently I wanted to get the water pressure re-inspected for one of the bidets and Horncastle came and did the fix (increased the pressure) free of charge. So that was a great service, since the original works were 2 years ago. I also got them to unblock a couple of wash-basin drains at the same time, and the person managed to do them both in under 30 mins. So great outcome overall.Their service is professional, clean, on time, and good value. They have the knowledge and expertise and will also give you good advise.I highly recommend their service to everyone.

I couldn't speak highy enough of Cal and Scott from Horncastle Plumbing,. From the initial phone call I felt like I was in good hands, going to be looked after and my plumbing problem sorted without fuss. Cal's calming customer service in a stressful situation was very welcomed. They were very clean and would not know where they had been after they had completed the job. Would highly recommend them.

I had a gas leak in my house and called Horndale Plumbing in the morning asking for their assistance in locating and rectifying the leak.Their plumber arrives within the hour, was professional and courteous, communicated well on what he was intending to do. Untimely the leak was found within the roof piping, new fittings placed to rectify the leak and the system tested to confirm the issue was resolved.I would have no hesitation using them again for future plumbing work.

Horncastle plumbing have been out a number of occasions to our last two houses. We have had tree roots removed from blocked drains, and on the most recent occasion, they found a blocked pipe on the SA Water side, and has this reported and booked in before we even arrived home. They have also provided a filter for our tap water which we have found a lot tidier than a Puratap, and also very reasonably priced.

I have used Horncastle Plumbing for a number of jobs over the years and couldn’t be happier with the service. The staff are honest (don’t try to upsell), courteous and professional and always leave the job site near and tidy. I’ve always been pleasantly surprised by the cost of the job, and they are much more competitively priced than other ‘reputable’ plumbers. I highly recommend giving them a call next time you need a plumber!

Hot water system failed on a Friday. Contacted Cal from Horncastle Plumbing on the Saturday and requested a service call on the Monday. Cal arrived ontime at 8am, provided alternative quotes to fix the problem. Quote was accepted and I had a new hot water heater installed by 1pm. One couldn't ask for better service. Highly recommended for a local plumber.

Cal Horncastle is far from honest. He recently worked at my home and tacked on 40% additional costs. As an account holder at Reece plumbing I knew the retail cost of every part he supplied and installed. In addition I never asked him to pass on his trade discount, which some people do.When I queried him he said his storage rack in his van cost alot and needed to be payed for.Be warned too, that Cal will talk on his phone at your expense. His trick is to take of an hour or so off his hourly rate to make you feel all warm and fuzzy. Only to sting you with overinflated and unitemised material costs.So unless you wish to pay for Cals tools, (outside of his already hefty scale of fees), be blatantly lied to and stripped of your honest hard working money, give Cal a very wide miss.
