Who we are
Who does the work
across Wahroonga
Licensed plumbers who count the garden as part of the plumbing, because on these properties that is exactly where the connections nobody has checked tend to be.

Ring and a plumber answers. Not a dispatcher writing down details for whoever has a gap that afternoon, and not an answering service in another state.
What we look at on these properties that others tend not to is everything permanently joined to the drinking supply outside the house. Automatic irrigation, a pool top up line, an outdoor feature. Those are plumbing, they are frequently installed by somebody who is not a plumber, and the question of what protects the supply from them rarely gets asked.
Price agreed before anything starts, licence number and ABN on the quote, and a written lifetime workmanship warranty on the work.
NSW Plumbing Licence 368473C, verifiable on the Fair Trading public register. Unlicensed plumbing is illegal in NSW and voids a home insurance claim, so ask anyone for a number before work starts.
Fully insured, work carried out to the Australian Standards, and a written lifetime workmanship warranty. Gas work carries a Certificate of Compliance as a matter of course.
Our work is reviewed publicly, and we would rather you read those than take anything on this page at face value.
This is a working plumbing business rather than a brand with subcontractors behind it. The person who prices the job is the person who turns up to do it.
The habit that matters here is looking at the whole property rather than the fixture somebody rang about. A great deal of what costs people money on these blocks sits outside the house entirely and never announces itself.
“The fixture you rang about is usually not the most expensive thing on the property. It is just the only one making a noise.”
The railway reached here in 1890 and the suburb was laid out afterwards as large villa allotments. The gardens that came with those blocks explain a surprising amount of what we get called to.
An automatic garden system and a pool top up line are joined to the drinking supply. They are plumbing rather than landscaping that happens to use water.
Water can travel back into the supply when the pressure relationship reverses. The device that stops it is chosen on an assessment of the hazard.
Testable devices require testing every year by an accredited backflow prevention plumber, and plenty of owners do not know they have one.
An irrigation leak runs at three in the morning into ground the water is meant to go into. The bill is the only symptom, and it can run for a year.
A storage system is meant to release water as it heats. It is continuous discharge that is the fault, and the line frequently ends where nobody looks.
A flued gas heater burns indoors and relies on its flue. It still lights and still gets hot when it is well overdue.
Not only the fixture that was making a noise when you rang.
Agreed before we start and unchanged unless you approve a revision in writing.
