Cost  50000

Description  He did all the bathroom fitting and tiling work for the bathroom in a new outbuilding: He fitted the toilet, shower heads, basins etc. (the copper piping in the walls were fitted by the builder). He used 3 different tiles: one for the floors, one for the walls and mosaic tiles for the shower. He also installed 80m2 tiling in the rest of the house, from the passageway into the lounge and dining area.

Feedback  He was recommended by my aunt, for whom he did tiling work. He also did 100m2 of tiling for my grandparents. There he removed the old carpets and installed marble tiles in all the bedrooms, the lounge, the dining area and the TV room. I saw both the jobs he did and said "I like what I see I'll use you." When he came to do the tiling he said he could also do the bathroom fitting. I was unsure, but he said "if you're not happy, don't pay me." That was September 2015 and everything is fine, no leaks. He made an invisible hump that prevented runoff into another area. It works great and I don't even have a shower door! (My shower is a bit larger 1.2m2, compared to the standard 0.9m2 size, otherwise I would need a door.) My other aunt saw the job he did for me and used him to redo her shower, which he finished off last month. I will be installing 15m2 tiles in between the bottom and top cupboards in the kitchen and am willing to use him. I would recommend him to my friends and family when they're in need. His bakkie is a bit old, he would do well with a new one. I would give him 7/10 for punctuality, but he does always come if he says he will. And I appreciated his capability. I wouldn't need to tell him what to do or how to do it and he would find the best possible way make it looks good. He took care to cut and place tiles so that it looks good.

Description  He has done several jobs for me. He has fixed my shower, tiled the bathroom, renovated the whole flat and fixed the toilets.

Feedback  Calistus is a great person to work with, I have worked with him so many times. His prices are really affordable and he cleans up after himself. I like the fact that he is considerate in terms of working around my budget. He is really dedicated to his job to an extent that he works at night.

Description  Opened up the wall, to redo the drainage in the kitchen.

Feedback  There's been a lot of bad plumbing work done at my house before, and I was so happy to have found Calistus, who has set it all straight. His service was was affordable, for someone of his quality and experience. Usually I would say it was not cheap, but for someone of his quality and experience, it was totally worth it and cheaper than I'd expect. Even though he broke the wall, he tidied up really well. It was phenomenal. I wish I had found him earlier.

Plumber

Cost  650

Description  He sorted out a blocked pipe (and installed new pipes)

Feedback  The work was OK. He was quite professional and took control of the job. He came across as very experienced and very reassuring. While he was fixing the blocked pipe, however, he broke the sink, which was a bit loose, I will concede. I'm going to use him again for the sink. I had to double check if he was coming, but he did pitch up on time. Pity about the sink - not sure if it was his fault. But I've used many plumbers before and he was good.

Plumber

Cost  R2000

Description  Attended to blockage in downstairs bathroom sink, replaced pipe/valve, put in two connectors on toilets where there was a gap between the pipes. Suggested installing a vent down the line.

Feedback  Calistus is knowledgeable and approachable. Happy with his service and work - his crew cleaned up after themselves. Will use his services again and recommend him to others.

Plumber

Cost  768

Description  Leak in the toilet system and the basin - the U-pipe and he fixed those two items

Feedback  He came shortly after he was called to give a quote that was more than reasonable. I own the apartment and never received complaints from the tenants so I'd call that a job well done

Plumber

Cost  Market related amount

Description  Basic plumbing repairs. Replaced worn out mechanisms in three toilets to prevent perpetual running of water.

Feedback  Reliable work from a professional. Will continue to use as required.

Description  He installed burglar bars, redid the kitchen counter, and shower doors, as well as other odds and ends.

Feedback  I could tell I could trust him,so I left him alone to do his job. He's a fantastic guy, he promised me that if there were any hassles he'd come back. There was one minor niggle, so I called him back, and he fixed it as promised.

Description  He renovated the entire bathroom, as well as doing waterproofing and tiling to rescue a terrible botch up by another contractor.

Feedback  I initially chose a contractor who came highly recommended. She was an absolute nightmare, she cut corners everywhere. The roof was leaking. All of the grouting was coming off. It was just a mess. Calistus was an angel, sent to me. He fixed everything. He is hands on, his plumbing is fantastic. He arrived when he said he would, but he notified me in the rare cases when he was running late. For my large job, he only took 1 day longer than he estimated. He was really considerate, he even cleaned away rubbish of other contractors who were working there too. He is really, really, really great, and I've recommended him to 2 other people.

Description  He did all the tiling at my house, most recently two big rooms in the front.

Feedback  Before he came in, I've had other people do tiling for me, and I was frustrated at their work. My daughter had Calistus do some plumbing, and being happy with his work, she recommended him to me. His work for me was perfect. He knows exactly what he is doing. He suggested we lower the floor of one of the rooms he tiled in, so it matched the level of the neighbouring room, and I let him go ahead with it. It turned out to be a great idea! He cleaned up the entire place afterwards. I had lots of tools lying around, none of which went missing. I chose really big tiles, and his team didn't even break or damage one tile. For this kind of service, his price was well worth it.

Description  He replaced a kitchen counter, which included removing and replacing the sink and all the piping involved, and cutting the new counter to fit.

Feedback  Calistus is a very nice guy, he clearly communicates the how and why of what he is doing. The finishing and quality of the work was unfaultable, so all in all it's been a pleasant experience.

Description  Calistus has done all the plumbing for my sister's new house. He's also tended to several plumbing issues in my house. I work at a rental agency, and he is the first plumber we call if we need work done on any of our properties.

Feedback  I've known him for 7 years, and I can safely say that Calistus is a man of integrity. As someone who works in a rental agency, I've dealt with many contractors in the past. None have had as much integrity as Calistus. He always gives a guarantee for the work he does. It usually spans from 3-5 years. In the rare cases where something has gone wrong, he honours this guarantee. One of the reasons why he's able to offer this, is because he insists on only using high quality materials. All of the owners of our properties love his work. When he's done working in an area, he leaves the place in such a clean state that you'd never know he was there. Unlike many other contractors, he's not in a rush, he cares deeply about his craft, and he always follows through with what he promises. I've referred him to many people, and will continue to do so.
