DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY - Ridiculous Prices
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Totally overpriced. I initially thought they took advantage of my elderly old father but after reading other reviews seems like they try it on with everyone!

g/emailing several times. Your fixed pricing needs to be seriously looked at going forward. We did not request same day service and we didn't get same day service. Bottom line - the service you provided did not match the grossly inflated fee you charged. Obviously you all sleep very soundly at night with one of your core values being to put profits before people. I wish you all the best.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Overly priced and don't even fix the problem
My parents are not plumbers so they got fastway to come out to fix the problem thinking they could be trusted. Try anyone else but not this company. They take advantage of people that don't understand plumbing like my poor parents who are pensioners. Reading other reviews it seems quite a few people have had similar experiences. They were actually told they were given a pensioners discount. It makes me sick when I think how people can be like that, how can you take advantage of the elderly. Oh and they didn't even fix the problem, they had to get another company out to fix the problem.

believed it would fix the problem. Instead this company disregarded what they suggested was the problem and after paying extortionate prices the problem continued. We have already been in contact, I'm only writing this review so others are aware of our experience just as I continue to tell others who ask me of plumbing companies. Most people accept paying for a service that fixes the problem they are having. It was the prices, the attitude, the unprofessionalism and lack of experience of knowing how to fix the problem we were having. An example is in the second sentence of your reply.Similar opinion?

Rip off
Their plumbers advised that we should tighten the taps hard so it does not leak. On their advice we changed showers and taps for both of our bathrooms 7 months ago. Today ( 19/11/2019) the vanity taps were leaking due to worn out copper rings. Just to change 2 Rubber rings costed $517 off course after hours. Will never use their service again. It is a rip off and I now doubt that their plumbers are professional Who even gave us wrong advice.

Ripped off
My parents are pensioners and had a leaky RPZ Value and I called them, came out and priced it at $2695 to replace. I questioned this and they ensured me the part alone was over $2600. I since rang around and the average price for the replacement is about the $300-400 mark. Do not believe them

In regards to the price, our fixed price includes lifetime warranty on the workmanship and same day service. Generally a verbal quote over the phone can be misleading as there was no visual assessment carried out to ensure the price of the repair or installation was accurate. Alternatively if you would like to discuss further you are more than welcome to contact the office on 1300 006 550. Kind Regards, The FastWay Plumbing TeamSimilar opinion?

Rip off merchants
I was forced to call a plumber due to both my normal plumbers being on holidays so I tried the first local one that popped up and who were available. I had to act straight away as my sewer pipes were causing sewerage to come up in my neighbours yard, he'd called the environment department on me who came out and said I had to rectify it immediatley or I would be fined. This gave me no time to get another quote. I was quoted just under 1K to flush the sewer pipe with a high pressure hose and put a camera down there. I said to the plumber this se...Read more
ems very expensive however not having this work done before I had no clue. He told me that they were very competitive. With the environment department breathing down my throat I felt I had no choice to go ahead. There was no problem with my pipes, it turned out to be the neighbour who had called the council on me, roots from his trees. The worked carried out did not even fix the problem, so 1K to flush a bit of water down the pipe and stick a camera down there. They then quoted me almost 10K to fix it. I told them to forget it. My plumber returned the next day, also flushed the pipe and put the camera down there, then cleared the tree roots, all at a cost of $400. I went to the Dept of Fair Trading who approached them and they refused to come to the party in any way and there would be a cost to go further, which I could not afford. Do not use these plumbers, there are so many similar revues on here, I would hazard a guess that the good ones are fake or they have been offered a reward which this company does for good reviews. They are rip off merchants and high pressure salesman, which came from the supervisor Ryan who quoted the almost 10K the next day to fix it. I see that nobody ever comes on here from the company to answer any of the negative reviews, probably because there are too many. For those of you on here who have been ripped off too, we should get together and do something, it is not okay.1 comment

Totally ripped off ...Sydney, NSW
Wish I read the reviews before I engaged this company
Extremely expensive - plastic pressure pipe was leaking (sealant gone). The plumber firstly tried to repair by resealing the pipes by using sealant at a cost of $534. Didn't work, so another quote was provided at a cost of $1,534! This was just to replace the plastic pipe (approx 50cm). Whole job took about an hour including the time he went to buy the plastic pipe! Felt pressured into going ahead with getting the leaking pipe fixed.
So wish that I had done more research before I even called these rip-off artists. Will never use again or recommend. People - don't be conned by the $0 call out fee on their website like I was :(

Nothing but thieves! Ridiculous, useless company!
I called this company to do simple 10 minutes job to replace a standard cold water tap for washing mashing connection. I had hot water tap replaced 2 months ago for $125.
The guy came 30 mins late( which is ok I was not in a hurry, just packing kids to school..), he spend 30 minutes looking at the phone trying to find prices for taps, as if he did not have any experience or had never seen these taps in his life, then he went to his car and said he would give me a quote, 20 minutes later he gave me super ridiculous quote of $677, which is 3-4 t...Read more

Very expensive
Called Fastway Plumbing for a leaking hot water tank. Quote to supply and install 400L tank was over $4000. They said I also needed a Tempering valve at a cost of $597.
Asked him about the cost of a 315L tank. Quoted $2697 plus the tempering valve for $507.
I found this plumber extremely pushy to the point I stated that as this was the first plumber I called, I needed to get some more quotes, that I would like to speak to a friend of mine who is a plumber. Was told by this fellow to contact my plumber friend and he would wait. Said no, my fri...Read more

Super quick but expensive
Their customer service system of replying immediately to online requests is great. As is the plumber being on time and calling prior to arrival. This all comes at a price though! The people on the phone dont give estimates of price or hourly rates for a job. Then when the plumber arrives it feels a little like they just name their price. My job took no more than 20 mins and cost $275 after I negotiated it down with the plumber - not a bad hourly rate! I needed the job done and had limited time so felt like I had no other option unfortunately. Would be fantastic if their hourly rates were transparent so you know what to expect and dont feel quite so ripped off.

You be the judge of this...
So we paid $711 for these guys to reconnect our hot water system, and to be fair, most things were done correctly and we were quite happy with the job. Then the pipe connecting to the hot water system started leaking at the junction that night. We call them up again asking them to rectify the issue. Guess what? The plumber came and ask us to fork out another $330 because he said it is a separate issue to our previous invoice and it isn't covered by the warranty. I asked why is it considered a separate issue when it is their plumber who connecte...Read more
d the system. He argued that it was someone else who connected the fittings and proceed to show me their evidence (photos of their first job). It turns out their photographic evidence is proving them wrong. The photos suggested that their plumber did fitted on those parts and it should be covered by the warranty. To me, you were so keen on charging your customers that you didn't even analyse your evidence properly. Great mindset there... Here is a list of things they did in their first invoice: - Isolate the main water supply - Disconnect the existing hot water system - Removal of the existing isolation valve - Removal of the damaged fittings - Supply and install new copper pipe & fittings - Supply and install new brass fittings - Supply and install new duo isolation valveSimilar opinion?

Found a young bloke and screwed him for every penny. COMPLETE RIP OFF!
Emergency call out on a Saturday for a leaking pipe around the water meter and underground pipes, couldn't fix it and didn't have the equipment to fix it. My question is what basic equipment a plumber would carry to dig a hole and replace a copper pipe. The young bloke paid $2500 up front for a call out, these guys then turned up on Monday and finished the job for another $2500. Most contractors send an itemized bill before payment. I will be taking legal action and hopefully have questions asked about the way these guys do business.
So be ca...Read more
reful ask questions before you invite them over, don't pay cash in good faith. It looks like a $1000 job and to be fair lets say a $2000 job and charged $5000. On site for maybe 12 hours, so that's around $400 an hour.1 comment

$595 to fix a stiff tap and 20 minutes of labour. They require $85 before they even arrive. My fault for going ahead with this but I was stuck with limited time. Will never use again.

All I can say is WOW, had come home from a long day from work to an overflowing toilet. Had called these guys out to fix the issue at 6pm on a Wednesday night and the fast service I had received to ensure I had a running toilet was great especially at that time of the night. Stress free and happy to have a running toilet again with no issues. Thanks Jai for your great prompt service!

Complete rip off company
My kitchen tap needed to be replaced. Unfortunately my tenant approved this plumber to do the work because he was told they would be charged a call out fee if he didnt. They charge $695 to replace the tap. I rang the company up and said I didnt approve the quote and sent them 3 other quotes all under $250 from other plumbers. I never heard anything back. Dont use this plumbing company they are a complete rip off and assume people have no idea how much it costs to do these basic jobs. Ill be going to fair trading on this company.

Never ever use these plumbers.
Never use these guys. They didn't fix the problem but still insisted on $50 for coming out and quoted $800 more required. I then used a local plumber and the whole problem was fixed to $260 total. These people are crooks!

Bunch of crooks / the good reviews obviously written by them
I dealt with them before I found this site. Overcharged and failed to fix the problem. Workers totally disinterested and admitted they didn't know where leak was coming from but still wanted the money.

DO NOT USE THESE GUYS
So where do l begin. From the start they didnt fix the issues my hot water system had. Then when l complained that l still have the problem they said just said there is nothing we can do and they ran off. I was told to get another opinion on the issue in the form of a report and they will settle the dispute. Paid $200 to have a report done. Then 2 weeks later they just email back saying we did you a favour fixing it cheaply. What a joke all the other plumbers l call laughed at the fact these guys are still operating by riping customers off eapecially the vunerable. So be ware!!!!
