What do recent reviews say?

Scott and his team at Richo's turn up fast, often the same day, and handle urgent jobs with calm efficiency. They quote fairly and complete work that reviewers describe as neat, trustworthy, and often better than expected, with follow-up photos and clear communication.

Blockages, hot water systems, and leaks are their bread and butter. One reviewer flagged a price point 80 dollars above competitors without added perks, though others consistently praise value. Most refer back, and staff names Scott and Ben recur throughout as reliable and professional.

Most jobs arrive on time with calm, skilled technicians who charge fairly and communicate clearly. A handful of reviewers faced rudeness from the owner, incomplete fixes, and bills they felt were steep for what was done, but the majority praise long-term reliability and staff who take pride in their work.
