Plumbing services across Sydney's inner west

We handle the plumbing that houses, units and strata buildings need, from small repairs to the jobs that can't wait until morning. Every job starts the same way: we find the cause, explain your options and give you the price before we pick up a tool.

Blocked drains

A slow sink or a toilet that gurgles is often the first sign of a blockage further down the line. We clear blocked sinks, showers, toilets, laundry tubs and outdoor drains. We use high-pressure water jetting to flush out grease, debris and built-up waste from drain and sewer lines.

When a drain keeps blocking or the cause isn't obvious, we put a camera down the pipe. That shows us whether it's tree roots, a collapsed section or a build-up we can jet away, so you pay for the fix that solves it rather than a clear-out that buys you a few weeks. Older inner west homes often have clay pipes and big street trees, which makes roots one of the most common causes we look for.

Hot water repairs and replacement

We repair and replace gas and electric hot water systems. If you've lost hot water, the tank is leaking or the water isn't getting as hot as it used to, call us and tell us the brand and size if you can see it on the label. That helps us bring the right parts.

If a system can be repaired we'll tell you. If it's at the end of its life we'll explain why and talk you through replacement options that suit your home and how much hot water you use.

Leak detection

A damp patch on a wall, a water bill that doesn't add up or the sound of running water when every tap is off usually means a hidden leak. We track down the source in pipes, walls, floors and roofs so the repair goes in the right place the first time, without opening up more of your home than we need to.

Once we've found it, we repair the leaking pipe, fitting or fixture and tidy up before we leave. In apartment buildings we can also tell you whether the leak is coming from your unit, the one above or common property, which matters when it comes to who pays.

Gas fitting

We install and connect gas cooktops, heaters and BBQ points. We also handle the rough-in and fit-off for new homes and renovations. Gas work in NSW must be done by a licensed gasfitter, so please don't let anyone without a licence touch your gas lines.

If you smell gas, turn off the gas at the meter if it's safe to do so, open doors and windows and call your gas distributor's emergency line before you call us.

Bathroom plumbing

We do the plumbing for bathroom renovations, including taps, showers, toilets and vanities. We can work with your builder on their schedule or look after the plumbing from rough-in to fit-off ourselves. We also repair the everyday bathroom faults: leaking showers, faulty mixers, running toilets and blocked shower drains.

Emergency plumbing, 24 hours a day

Call 0452 397 044

We take calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Burst pipes, major leaks, overflowing toilets and sewage backing up into the house all count as emergencies. So does water coming through a ceiling. We stop the water first, then repair or replace whatever failed.

While you wait, turn off the water at the main tap. In most houses it sits near the water meter at the front boundary. In apartments it's often in a cupboard in the unit or on your floor.

General plumbing repairs

No job is too small. We repair dripping and leaking taps, running toilets and leaking cisterns, worn washers and damaged pipes. We also install new taps, toilets and showers when the old ones are past saving. If you've already chosen a new tap or toilet suite, we'll fit the one you picked.

How we price plumbing work

Every job is different, so we price it once we've seen it. You get a clear price before we start. If we find something unexpected we stop and talk to you before doing anything extra. There are no hidden fees and we won't sell you work you don't need. If you'd like a rough idea before we come out, send a photo of the problem with your suburb and we'll tell you what we think it is.
