Who we are
The team you meet
across Balmain
Licensed plumbers who work this peninsula constantly, and who will tell you what the access costs before you agree to anything rather than raising it on the day.
Licensed plumbers who work this peninsula constantly, and who will tell you what the access costs before you agree to anything rather than raising it on the day.
Ring and a plumber answers. Not an operator taking your details to pass on, and not an overflow service somewhere else.
What actually matters here is knowing the streets. This peninsula was built out in the nineteenth century for people and carts, with one road on and one road off, so where a van can stop and when a street is workable are real questions rather than afterthoughts.
Price agreed before we start with the access included in it, licence number and ABN on the quote, and a written lifetime workmanship warranty over the work.
NSW Plumbing Licence 368473C, checkable on the Fair Trading public register. Unlicensed plumbing is illegal in NSW and voids a home insurance claim, so ask anybody for their number first.
Fully insured, work to the Australian Standards, and a written lifetime workmanship warranty. Gas work carries a Certificate of Compliance as standard.
Our work is reviewed publicly, and those are worth rather more than anything we could write about ourselves.
A working plumbing business rather than a brand with subcontractors behind it. Whoever prices the job is whoever turns up to do it.
The rule that matters most on this peninsula is about honesty in the quote. Access is the variable most likely to move a price here, so it belongs in the figure you approve rather than in a conversation on the doorstep.
“If the access is going to cost you, you should hear it from me before you say yes, not after.”
The peninsula was subdivided and built out largely in the nineteenth century, as a working waterfront suburb, long before anybody considered where a vehicle would stop. Most of what shapes our work traces back to that.
Narrow, a great many one-way, and a large proportion of houses with no off-street parking at all.
A peninsula has no through traffic and no alternative route, so a blocked street stays blocked and timing matters.
Some jobs need smaller plant, a longer hose run or a different method, because the usual equipment cannot physically reach the work.
It is the variable most likely to move a price here, so we price it visibly instead of raising it on the day.
Nineteenth-century houses with pipework added to by every owner since, where nothing sits where a modern fitting expects.
Sydney water is soft. A storage unit that has given up here has usually lost its sacrificial anode or an element.
As a visible line, not a surprise once somebody is already there.
Agreed before we start, unchanged unless you approve a revision in writing.
Rather than the method that suits the biggest machine.
Open 24 hours, 7 days, with nothing added for nights, weekends or public holidays.
