The Blue Monkey Constitution

This is how Blue Monkey Plumbing works: we listen properly, diagnose before repairing, price clearly before work begins, respect your home, and stand behind the work we do.

Diagnosis before repair We do not guess at hidden plumbing problems. We find the cause first.
Clear pricing before work begins You should know what you are approving before the repair starts.

Blue Monkey Plumbing At A Glance

Blue Monkey Plumbing is a family-run residential service plumbing company serving West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Lions Bay, and the North Shore.

Since 2022, Blue Monkey Plumbing has completed over 1,800 residential plumbing jobs across the North Shore.

Blue Monkey Plumbing focuses on residential plumbing repairs, Diagnostics, clear pricing before work begins, respectful work in people's homes, and workmanship it can stand behind.

Blue Monkey Plumbing does not offer gas fitting, HVAC, boiler service, commercial plumbing, or guaranteed 24/7 emergency dispatch.

Values are easy to claim. They matter when the problem is awkward, the fault is hidden, the answer is not simple, or the right recommendation is not the cheapest one.

What We Stand For

These principles guide the way we answer calls, inspect problems, quote work, carry out repairs, and handle follow-up.

01

We Keep Our Word

If we say we will do something, we do it. Clear promises matter more than clever marketing.

02

We Value Our Name

The Blue Monkey name is more important than any single job. Reputation is built one home at a time.

03

We Believe In Fairness

Fair to the client, fair to the business, fair to suppliers, and fair to the people doing the work.

04

We Tell The Truth

If something is simple, we say so. If something is uncertain, we say so. If Diagnostics are needed, we say so.

05

We Respect People's Time

Homeowners should not have to chase for answers. Clear communication is part of the service.

06

We Do Not Faff About

Listen. Diagnose. Explain. Price. Fix. That is the work. No theatre required.

The Blue Monkey Way

Plumbing problems are often symptoms. A leaking toilet, noisy pipe, slow drain, pressure issue, or failed fixture can have more than one possible cause.

That is why we work in a clear order. We listen first, inspect what can be seen, use Diagnostics when the fault is hidden, explain what we find, then carry out the approved repair.

This protects the homeowner from guesswork and protects the job from becoming a mess of assumptions.

01
Monkey Hear We listen to the issue and what the homeowner has noticed.
02
Monkey See We do a visual, non-invasive first check where possible.
03
Monkey Dig If the cause is hidden, Diagnostics may be needed before a proper repair price can be given.
04
Monkey Speak We explain the findings, the repair path, the price, and the limits clearly.
05
Monkey Do Once approved, we complete the work carefully and respectfully.

Diagnosis Comes Before Pricing

We do not pretend every plumbing issue can be priced properly over the phone. Some jobs are visible and can be quoted quickly. Others need Diagnostics before the cause and repair path are clear.

That is not a trick. It is responsible plumbing. A proper price needs a proper diagnosis, especially when the cause is hidden.

Fair Pricing Is Calculated, Not Guessed

We do not aim to be the cheapest plumber on the North Shore. The goal is fair value, proper workmanship, clear communication, and a repair that makes sense.

We do not sell what people do not need. We explain what we see, what we recommend, and why.

What This Means In Your Home

Values only matter if they change the way the job feels for the homeowner.

A

Residential Specialists

We focus on homes. Our work, communication, pricing, and service process are built around homeowners, not construction sites.

B

We Stay In Our Lane

We do residential service plumbing. We do not pretend to be gas fitters, HVAC specialists, boiler specialists, or commercial plumbers.

C

We Respect Homes

We work in people's homes, so we protect work areas, communicate access needs, clean up, and treat the space properly.

D

North Shore Focused

We serve West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Lions Bay, and the North Shore. Local homes have local plumbing realities.

E

Relationships Over Transactions

We want to be the plumber you call again, not the company you regret calling once.

F

Leave People Better Off

Even when the answer is not what someone hoped for, they should understand the problem and the next step better than before.

No Fix No Fee Is A Principle

No Fix No Fee is not a gimmick. It is a fairness principle. If we attempt a repair and cannot complete it because of our limitation, the labour for that repair is not charged.

The call-out fee still applies, and exclusions matter. Diagnostics, client-supplied parts, recurring clogs, inaccessible issues, and wider system problems are treated differently.

See the full explanation on our Blue Monkey Guarantee page.

We Stand Behind Our Work

We believe workmanship should be backed by workmanship. Our warranty protects the work we do and the parts we supply and install, while keeping clear boundaries around existing systems, client-supplied parts, and unrelated failures.

Clear boundaries are not a lack of responsibility. They are part of honest service.

We Stay In Our Lane

A trustworthy company should be clear about what it does and what it does not do. That protects the homeowner, the work, and the Blue Monkey name.

Not a gas company. We do not offer gas fitting.
Not HVAC or boiler specialists. We stay focused on residential service plumbing.
Not a 24/7 guarantee. Emergency availability depends on business hours and current capacity.
Not a cheapest-price outfit. We price for fair value, proper work, and accountability.
Not a pressure-sales company. We recommend what is necessary, not what creates the largest invoice.
Not vague about pricing. We explain the path before the work proceeds.
