Repairs and renovations we handle every week
Two-thirds of the daily run falls into repairs and renovations: fixing what's broken and upgrading what's tired. These six pages cover most of it:
Residential Plumbing
From dripping taps to whole-of-house re-pipes, this is the everyday plumbing that keeps a home working, and postwar brick-veneer houses and newer builds get the same care.
- Tap and fixture repairs
- Pipe replacement and re-runs
- General maintenance
Commercial Plumbing
Shops, cafes and offices near the town centre need plumbing that survives heavy use, so we work around trading hours and a repair never costs a day's trade.
- Grease management and compliance
- Back-of-house repairs
- Fit-out plumbing
Bathroom Plumbing
Showers, vanities, floor wastes and the waterproofing behind them all, whether the job at hand is a leaky shower or a full strip-and-rebuild done in the right sequence for the room.
- Shower and bath repairs
- Full bathroom re-plumbs
- Waterproofing checks
Kitchen Plumbing
Sinks, mixers, dishwashers and the drainage under them take daily punishment, and we fix the slow drains and drips that kitchen renovations leave behind in older homes.
- Sink and mixer installs
- Disposal and drainage repairs
- Renovation rough-ins
Toilet Replacement
An old suite wasting water or a cracked pan in a 1960s bathroom: we swap toilets cleanly, including the close-coupled and wall-faced suites common in unit blocks.
- Full suite replacements
- Cistern and pan repairs
- Water-efficient upgrades
Leak Detection
A water bill climbing with no visible cause usually means a hidden leak, so we trace leaks under concrete, inside walls and along buried services before digging starts.
- Acoustic and pressure testing
- Hidden leak tracing
- Meter and service checks
Installs and specialist work
The other third of the run is planned work rather than urgent work. These six pages cover it:
Water Meter Installation
New builds, subdivisions and old services that have finally given up: we install and replace water meters to Hunter Water requirements, with all the paperwork sorted for you.
- New meter installs
- Service line replacements
- Hunter Water lodgements
Dishwasher Installation
A new dishwasher needs a proper feed, drainage and a secure connection point, not a hose jammed into the sink trap, and we install them to code.
- New dishwasher connections
- Drainage and feed plumbing
- Appliance relocation
Gas Fitting
Cooktops, heaters, bayonet points and leak checks, all done by licensed gas fitters with a compliance certificate at the end of every job, because gas work is never a handyman job.
- Gas appliance installs
- Bayonet and heater points
- Leak testing and certification
Hot Water Installation
New tanks, heat pumps and solar systems, sized to the household and the roof, with tight unit courtyards and awkward access handled as a normal part of the job.
- Storage tank installs
- Heat pump and solar options
- Unit and courtyard access
Hot Water Repair
A tank running lukewarm or a pilot that won't hold gets diagnosed on the spot, and we repair wherever repair is the honest answer for you and your budget.
- Element and thermostat repairs
- Pilot and ignition faults
- Pressure valve work
Hot Water Replacement
When the tank has well and truly had it, we swap it same-day where the schedule allows, take the old unit away and commission the new one properly.
- Like-for-like swaps
- System upgrades
- Old unit removal
What the ground under this suburb does to plumbing
This suburb was built in waves, and each wave left its own plumbing behind. The dates on the water and sewer programs still shape the jobs we do today.
The galvanised era.
The clay era.
The tank era.
The apartment era.

Adjoining suburbs on the regular run

Ring and ask either way; the run covers more ground than any list shows.
General plumbing questions, answered
Do you replace old galvanised water pipes?
Yes, we do. Houses plumbed after the first water mains still carry galvanised lines in pockets, and they restrict flow and stain fixtures; we re-run them in copper or PEX.
Can you plumb a bathroom renovation in a unit block?
We can. Unit work needs waterproofing, strata notification and isolation handled in the correct order, and we take care of all of it, from stripping the old fit-out to commissioning the new mixers.
Do you do gas fitting as well as water plumbing?
Gas is part of the licensed range, covering cooktops, heaters, bayonets and leak checks, with a compliance certificate once each job is signed off, so the paperwork is there for resale.
Is the call out really free?
It is. Every job starts with a $0 call out and a written quote before work begins, and if you don't approve the quote, we shake hands and leave at no charge.
Do you work on shops and cafes, or just houses?
Both. The food and retail strip near the Square keeps us busy with grease management, back-of-house repairs and fit-out plumbing, and houses get the same crew across the postwar belt.
Which areas do you service?
The eastern side. The trucks run this suburb plus Adamstown Heights, Kahibah, Whitebridge, Gateshead and Mount Hutton, and the runs between them; ring and ask if you're just past the edge.
