What we find in Paddington

The emergencies here tend to be flexi hoses under vanities and hot water units in internal cupboards. Both are quiet until they are not.

Paddington in detail

Ithaca Creek runs through the area. Properties near it deal with stormwater that has somewhere to go in a normal week and nowhere to go in a heavy one.

Getting access in Paddington

Access matters in a suburb as tightly built as Paddington. Street parking, shared driveways and basement car parks all slow a job down, so tell us about them when you book and we will plan the visit around them.

Getting to Paddington

The same vans cover Red Hill, Petrie Terrace, Milton and Auchenflower, which is why a boundary address is never a problem.

Before you call us

For water, the mains tap at the meter is the first move. For gas, the valve at the meter. Tell us what you have already shut off when you call - it changes what we expect to find and how fast we need to move. If you are not at the property, tell us who is and how we reach them. We would rather sort that out on the phone than at the kerb.

What happens when we arrive

Photographs before and after are standard on emergency work, because insurers ask and because you should be able to see what was behind the wall.

After the job

The fix is done and tested. What we will also tell you is what we saw around it, because in a property of this age that is the useful part.

How we quote

We quote before we start, in Paddington as everywhere. You hear the number, you agree to it, and that is the number on the invoice. If we find something unexpected, we stop and tell you before continuing.

What affects the price

Making the situation safe and completing the permanent repair are sometimes two visits. The first is priced as an emergency, the second is not, and you know that before we start. A call-out that finds nothing wrong still costs something, and we tell you what before we come. Nobody should be surprised by that.

How we do it

We make it safe, we tell you what failed and why, and we give you a number before we pick up a tool.

Preventive work in Paddington

Paddington drainage depends on getting water to Ithaca Creek. Anything blocking that path on your property turns heavy rain into a problem.

Approvals and compliance

In Brisbane City Council's area, sewer and stormwater connection work needs council involvement. We handle that paperwork as part of the job.

Paddington is in the Paddington ward. Work that touches the street rather than the house goes through them.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Emergency work is not limited to business hours. Tell us what is happening and we will say straight away whether it can safely wait until morning.

Always. Emergency rates do not mean skipping the quote. You hear the number and agree to it before any repair begins.

If it damages the property or puts someone at risk, yes. If it is annoying but stable, booking it costs you less and we will say so on the phone rather than letting you pay emergency rates.

Where the water or gas is coming from, what you have already shut off, and whether anyone is at risk. That shapes what we bring and how fast we move.

Emergency work in Paddington is not limited to business hours. Call the number on this page and tell us what is happening; we will tell you straight away whether it can wait until morning.

For common work we will give you a range on the phone and a fixed price once we have seen it. We do not start without you agreeing to the number.

We provide the report, photographs and cause-of-damage detail insurers ask for. What the policy covers is between you and them, but the documentation will not be the holdup.
