"A very honest, experienced and cheerful tradesman. Daren offered excellent advice, support and service for the replacement and installation of a new mains pressure HWC. The old one was dated 1968 and on it’s last legs and the new one fitted within 10 days of the initial appraisal ! Highly recommended"

"We learnt of Daren from Monacocorp who supply a particularly unique electric-fired charcoal BBQ. When its element failed, Monaco rushed a replacement element to Daren who is their appointed service agent. Daren smilingly appeared at our door on the morning before Christmas and got us cooking again. We found his knowledge extensive and would happily recommend Daren to anyone looking for an experienced gasfitter/plumber. Thank you Daren."

"We recently had our bathroom renovated by this plumbing company and couldn’t be happier with the result. From the very beginning, they helped design the space, suggested smart and practical solutions, and offered different options to suit our needs and budget.
Their professionalism was outstanding at every stage of the project. Communication was clear, timelines were respected, and the workmanship was absolutely impeccable. The final result exceeded our expectations and represents excellent value for money.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality, reliability and great results."

In order to keep costs down, Daren contacted the tenant directly and asked for photos to be sent in order to obtain the correct parts for the job. Daren was professional, courteous, and sorted the issue quickly. We would have no hesitation to recommend Daren. Thanks Daren"

They did a great job together."

"Had Daren come round and look at fixing our stove. He had to get some parts and arrived only to find problem was bigger than we both thought. Arranged for a new gas stove and installed it on 27th Dec. Helpful, detailed work and friendly. Legend, got me out of the muck over the holiday. would recommend him, his company and workmanship. Thanks"

"I have just had Darren fix a toilet & leaking tap issues in one of my rental properties. Usually I would undertake this work myself but as I was out of the country & couldn't have tenants without a usable toilet I needed the job done ASAP, I looked on the No Cowboys website for some plumbing options in the area & luckily came across Tradelink.
I have to say that my experiences over the years has been hit & miss with tradesman but Darren is one which if the need arises I will be more than happy to use in the future.
The job he did for me unfortunately had a hiccup due to breakdown in communication between myself, tenant & Daren. Daren immediately sorted it & the job was done to a high quality & completed very quickly.
Once I came back to NZ I raced around to inspect the work as had my suspicions, the job was just all sorted so quickly.
Using a different tradesman without Darren's integrity this could have ended very differently for me.
More than happy to recommend Darren & Tradelink,
also a thanks to Allison in the office who kept me informed along the way.

"As per the many impressive ratings below about Daren/Tradelink, I'd also like to say how very impressed I am with the level of service provided. During our recent property purchase, Daren did a pre inspection on the property for us, spending a very thorough two hours onsite, plus providing a prompt, well written and detailed report for the real estate agent and conveyancing lawyer. This (along with the building inspection), resulted in over fifteen thousand saved off the property purchase price!! We were over the moon. Daren was able to provide detail on ever aspect of the property that required work, for both plumbing and gas, prior to purchase and gave costings which the lawyers used to bargain with. His level of professional knowledge is outstanding and I appreciated the fact that he has such a wealth of experience in the trade, this shines through. Also, during our recent rental renovation of the above property, Daren competenty took care of the gasfitting and plumbing; then sorted out a problematic roof leak that the roofers had caused and a washing machine leak the painter caused-both free of charge...Thanks heaps Daren. I appreciate a tradesman that has this level of expertise and such a strong work ethic. We'll be in touch for the next stage of renovations :-)"

"Took three times to get them to attend, on the final phone call Darren admitted having lost the job card and knew nothing about the job. Did the first part of what was required, putting a copper pipe through the floor and wall of a new addition containing a kitchen (for hook up to an external gas bottle for hobbs), charged $311. Have since had a wonderful, helpful, prompt gasfitter come to quote the second part of the job as it seemed very expensive through Tradelink and he has said the copper would have cost about $5, he could have done the entire job including the next part of the work required for $400 all up. He also stated the quality of the work was substandard with incorrect fitting, should have been a wingback on the internal fitting. Will now have to pay about $400 more to get sorted, could have cost us that all up. Not impressed. Feel totally ripped off."

"An excellent job done thanks Daren. Tradelink pulled out the old toilet and cast iron/original piping (which was a big and unpleasant job) and replaced it all neatly with plastic. Installed my new toilet and completed the job with full testing of the cistern etc and a nice neat finish to the silicone work.
Happy to recommend Daren/Tradelink to my friends and associates as he is a reliable & trustworthy tradesman who provides an excellent level of service."

"Daren did an awesome job repairing my gas heater!
I'd had another gasfitter in from a company in Ak City, who told me the heater was beyond repair/parts prob. not avail, however I wanted it repaired as it wasn't that old.
When I called in Daren/Tradelink to get the repair done he quickly diagnosed the problem. They kept fully informed while parts were on order etc. Daren returned promptly to fit parts and get it going again, even coming back one evening to fit it in-as he was very busy. Much appreciated."
