Licensed plumbers who would rather measure something than argue about it, which on this housing usually turns three separate complaints into one explanation.

The phone gets answered by a plumber. There is no dispatcher in between writing your details down for whoever has a gap, and no answering service in another state.
What we do differently on this housing is measure. A house built out in the sixties, seventies or eighties is very likely still running on its original pressure limiting valve, and a valve at forty is decades past a service life usually put at eight to twelve years. That one reading explains a surprising share of what people ring about.
The figure is agreed before anything starts, the licence number and ABN are on the quote, and the workmanship carries a lifetime warranty in writing.
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 rule that matters most here is to measure before replacing. A tap that has had three washers is not a tap problem, and putting a fourth one in is charging somebody to repeat a mistake. Five minutes with a gauge is the difference between a repair and a pattern.
“Three washers in the same tap is not bad luck and it is not a bad plumber. It is a number nobody has taken yet.”
The Hills was citrus country before it was suburbs, and Windsor Road through the middle of it is one of the oldest roads in the country. What matters day to day is more recent: housing built out mainly from the 1960s through the 1990s, and still running the parts it was built with.
A pressure limiting valve on the incoming supply holds the house to the 500 kPa static maximum a domestic installation is allowed at any outlet.
Eight to twelve years is the figure commonly given. A great many properties here are still on the one fitted when the house was built.
It usually fails open. Nothing bursts and nothing alarms. The property simply reverts to whatever the main is delivering.
Paving, decking and driveways go in over the external inspection opening, and the next blockage costs more because nobody can find it.
Cutting and re-pouring a driveway or a slab is the expensive half of an excavation quote, and unlike a garden bed, concrete never goes back the way it was.
A large electric tank sized to heat overnight on a cheaper supply. Change the system and that arrangement changes with it.
A number ends an argument that a fourth washer only continues.
Agreed before we start and unchanged unless you approve a revision in writing.
