MJ Robertson has been a plumbing and gas fitting firm in Christchurch since 1955, working from 373 Ilam Road in Ilam. It handles leaks, blocked drains, hot water systems, gas servicing, toilet and waste disposal repairs, spouting and gutter repairs, leak detection and backflow prevention testing. For burst pipes, flooding or other urgent callouts, the website says to turn off the water, avoid using the affected fixtures and call 03 366 6195 straight away. Customers praise the promptness, the skilled tradesmen and the reasonable pricing, and they say the job is cleaned up afterwards. One customer with a 100-year-old villa had the team crawl under the house to find a split coupler, and the plumber found fittings that matched the old, unusual pipe sizes.
Not every review is glowing. One customer said they were charged for time the plumber was not on site, when he had gone to get a part, and they raised it with the office. Other customers mention heat pump and hot water cylinder work, and say the communication and follow-through were good. For a house with older pipes, the firm's long history in the city and its experience with old fittings are what most reviews come back to.
