Accountability & Trust
Ashton scores fairly in our accountability and trust category. They have been operating for 32 years, and they have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. However, they have had 7 complaints filed over the last 3 years with the Better Business Bureau. Other plumbing services in Greater Vancouver have had an average of 1 complaint over the same time frame, and the average company their size across Canada has had 2 complaints over the same period.
Ashton has chosen to be an accredited member of the Better Business Bureau which we believe is important for maintaining accountability. Currently only 50% of Greater Vancouver’s plumbing services are accredited by the Better Business Bureau.
Online Reviews
When it comes to reviews and ratings found on solid online business review sites, the company performs moderately with average reviews on HomeStars, Google, and Yelp. We were concerned to see some unnatural patterns in their online reviews. This can happen sometimes when plumbing companies encourage a lot of their happiest clients to rate the company on specific review sites.

We believe it is very important that every plumber assure the quality of their work in some way. The most common ways to do this are with a parts and labour warranty and sometimes – in the best cases – with a satisfaction guarantee on top of all this. A satisfaction guarantee assures you, the one footing the bill, that the work you pay for is not finished until you’re satisfied that it’s done.
It’s good to see that Ashton is heading in the right direction by offering a satisfaction guarantee.
