Why Hartley
Your neighbours, not a call centre
Bill Hartley started this business with one van and a promise: show up, do the job right, leave the place tidy. Tom and Sarah still run it that way — same phone, same Northside streets, same standard.
- Phone-first help — a real person answers, not a phone tree.
- Upfront pricing — we explain the options before we start.
- Clean shoes, tidy work — drop sheets down, mess gone when we leave.
- Same-day when we can — especially for active leaks and no hot water.
Emergency plumbing
Burst pipe? No hot water? Don’t wait.
We keep a night roster for genuine emergencies across the Northside. Call the same number — if it’s after hours, we’ll tell you straight whether we can get there tonight.
What locals say
Trust built one job at a time
★★★★★
“We’ve used Hartley for three rental properties. Always on time, always clean, always text with photos so we know what’s going on. Hard to find that.”
★★★★★
“Hot water died on a Sunday. They talked me through a temporary fix on the phone, then replaced the unit Monday morning. Felt like neighbours helping out.”
