Good, reliable local company

Used Orca 3 times now since wanting to change from a different company. Good communication & helpful, friendly staff answer calls promptly & co-ordinate requirements efficiently. None of this being passed around farce! Nice polite, professional engineers who take their shoes off before even being
asked....thank you! Text is sent just before arriving. Can't fault anything so will keep using!

Broken Toilet

Due to an operation could not get upstairs easily. Downstairs toilet broken. Called ORCA plumbing, very helpful on phone from start to finish. Called back the same day having reviewed photos I sent, explained what they needed to do and broke down the costs. Arrived within 24 hours - smart uniformed and polite plumbers - explained what they were going to do and got job done. Would recommend this company every time. Thanks guys.

ANOTHER GREAT JOB COMPLETED

ANOTHER GREAT JOB COMPLETED!
Once again, easy and convenient appointment arranged in advance. Having provided photographs and relevant information, Tony was able to identify the parts required to refurbish a heated towel rail needing a new bleed vent and blanking cap. His team arrived on time with the parts, replaced them and tested the towel rail, all for a very reasonably cost.
As ever, a very friendly, professional and efficient company to invite into my home.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Excellent service from Chris and Calum

Excellent service from Chris and Calum. They were able to explain in details what work would need to be carried out. They provided me with ongoing quotes and explained the whole process. They arrived promptly and fixed the outdated sink pipes and connected my washing machine perfectly, fit new radiator valves to all radiators and install a new chrome towel radiator, fix the toilet cistern and service the boiler. They also identified some cracks on the shower tray whilst installing new shower trim. I was so pleased with the high standard of workmanship and quality of materials used. I felt confident enough to go ahead and sign up for the OCRA Boiler service Plan. Thank you Chris and Calum.

I was very impressed

I was very impressed with both Callum and his colleague. Their attention to detail, politeness and attitude was great. Also the follow up customer care is a rarity and really appreciated. I would definitely recommend using locally based Orca Plumbing.

Highly recommend Orca

As always Orca are incredibly good at coming back to you no matter how small (or big) the job is. They make contact promptly & someone attends to look at work & price work for you very quickly. Never had any problems with Orca over the years & it also helps that the whole team are so friendly. Have no hesitation in recommending Orca to anyone.

Efficient friendly team

The person who took my call was kind, helpful and very helpful. I was fitted into the schedule with alacrity. The plumber who came (Callum) was incredibly efficient and explained the issues clearly to me. I had 2 plumbing jobs and both were completed to a high standard, despite Callum having to travel locally to find a necessary part to complete the work. Thank you to the team for their work.

A decent outfit

Local family business. Have found them to be reliable, reasonably priced and quite happy to go the extra mile should things not turn out as expected
