I have had the pleasure of dealing with Watts for 2 separate issues, on 2 seperate occasions within the last month - and BOTH times, the team sent to me has been exceptional.

A special shout out must go to my main plum(b), Sam 😊 but then a HUGE thanks to Dylan and Rozario who are legends in their own right. And to Candace for the amazing administrative support. Efficient, friendly, KIND and professional - each and every one of them.

You are all credits to your profession and Charles, your company has a customer for life ✨️

As a large preschool and aftercare, we have frequent plumbing issues, and he has been an absolute lifesaver time and again. He’s incredibly reliable—whenever something urgent comes up, he does his best to be there as soon as he can or if he is not able to, communicates clearly about when he will be able to.

What we especially appreciate is how he takes the time to explain different options and helps us think through what will be most cost-effective in the long run. He’s not just about getting the job done—he’s about doing it right and making sure it works for us over time and always has our best interests at heart.

Rozarrio was extremely friendly and was able to unblock the pipe with ease.
I highly recommend Watt's Plumbing and will definitely use them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Last week a team fixed up my pool filtration system and did a really neat job. This morning another Rozario and Bradley replaced the pop-up plugs in the basins in our main bathroom. They did a great job and were a pleasure to meet! Highly recommend Watt's Plumbing in Muizenberg!!
