  We were new to everything home fixes and as things started requiring maintenance, one of the first was the water heater. There were a couple of options and we did our research, but Ryan was the only one who brought clarity to our thinking regarding needs versus efficiency. We went with a gas heater and Ryan did the install himself and the quality of work is unquestionable. Thank you, Ryan, for your expertise, clear advice, and excellent service. We appreciate both of them and this is the type of service that everyone looks to.

  Alright folks, long message ahead, but well deserved. Ryan, the big gentleman himself, just left my unit less than an hour ago. To give some context, a couple of months back he completed a small job for me, replacing two copper P-traps under my sinks. Everything was spot on; quality materials, efficient work, and top-level skill that shows he really knows his trade. Honestly, I wish more of the younger generation would focus on learning a solid trade and aim to be even half as capable and hardworking as Ryan, instead of chasing the ‘content creator’ trend. Anyway, what impressed me most wasn’t just the workmanship; it was his genuine honesty and the way he represents his business. No upselling, no corner-cutting, none of the negative experiences I’ve had with other tradies in the past. I didn’t leave a review immediately (couple of months back) because I wanted to see how the job held up over time. Fast forward to today: one of the P-traps suddenly started leaking. I contacted Ryan, and once again he responded quickly and made time in his schedule. As expected, he identified the issue straight away; it was a defective rubber seal — fixed it, and made sure everything was in order. While he was here, I casually mentioned a concern about the hair buildup in my shower drain. Without hesitation, he checked it out and took care of it on the spot. Yes, we are paying for the service, we carry this "entitlement" feeling, but I want to highlight the level of professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care that Ryan delivers. I hope this positive feedback reaches as many people as possible. Let’s support Platypus, Ryan, and his team — they’re exceptional. Ryan, thank you sincerely, mate. I wish you long life, and good health, I wish your family good luck, I wish your business nothing but growth and success, just like the legacy your father built over decades. You’re an absolute gem. 😁😁😁

  I recently had the pleasure of working with Ryan during my kitchen and laundry renovation, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ryan was always punctual, arriving on time for every job, and his work was excellent. He not only completed the tasks with skill and precision but also brought thoughtful ideas to the table. We were able to discuss various options, and he helped me find the most effective solutions. It made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Ryan for any plumbing needs!

  We had a complex structural stormwater drainage issue, and Ryan and his team were absolutely fantastic in resolving it. This was not a simple job, but Ryan’s expertise, professionalism, and attention to detail made all the difference. He quickly identified the root cause and provided comprehensive solutions. Ryan is proactive and responsible, ensuring that every aspect of the job is completed to the highest standard. He is also a great communicator—patiently explaining each step so we could understand what he was trying to achieve. His passion for his profession is evident in the high-quality work he delivers. In addition to the drainage work, Ryan also helped us fix our sewage pipe and septic tank with the same level of care and skill. His team is efficient, tidy, and professional, making the entire experience seamless. His pricing is very reasonable, and the overall service exceeded our expectations. We are completely comfortable entrusting our big, complex project to Ryan and his team. Highly recommended! Thank you, Ryan and team!

  I cannot thank Ryan enough for attending to a serious issue ASAP. We had a broken water pipe (from the meter to the house) so it had to be dealt with very quickly. He was there the next day at 8am to identify the problem, organised another tradesman to come out and locate the break, and did the repair the same day, which was the day before he went away for 2 weeks. This was all done in 4 days. Furthermore, he was profession, explained things, and the cost was very reasonable. I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him. Stephen P
