Licensed plumbers in Cannon Hill
Gas in a house this age needs checking before it needs extending.
5-star rated on Google
It is approximately 10.4 km east of the Brisbane CBD.
We start with a pressure test.
With a meter at the boundary and a clear run to the house, gas work here is predictable.
Cannon Hill's 3.8 sq km carry roughly 1,763 people per sq km: standard suburban density, mixed housing stock.
In Cannon Hill there is room to work. We just need to know where the meter sits and whether anything is between us and it.
We service the suburb daily, and we will tell you honestly on the phone how long we will be. Our Cannon Hill runs also take in Murarrie, Tingalpa, Carina and Seven Hills.
If there is water near electrical fittings or it has come through a ceiling, kill the power at the switchboard too. Then call and say that you have. If you can smell gas: turn it off at the meter, open doors and windows, leave light switches and appliances alone, get everyone outside, and call from outside the building. Do not go looking for the leak and do not wait to see whether the smell fades.
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.
In a house of this age the repair is rarely the end of the story, and we would rather say so than let you find out in six months. Pipework installed decades ago tends to fail in more than one place, and the section we have just repaired is usually a fair indication of the condition of the rest. We will tell you honestly what we could see of the neighbouring runs.
Emergency plumbing – give the experts a call
Pricing on Cannon Hill jobs is settled before the work begins. We do not revise a quote mid-job without talking to you first, and you decide what happens next.
The price reflects the work and the hour, not how worried you sounded on the phone. Gas work ends with a compliance certificate, and that is part of the job rather than an add-on. Work you cannot see needs documentation you can.
Every gas job gets a pressure test on completion and a certificate in your hand. Work you cannot see needs documentation you can.
The Cannon Hill jobs that turn into emergencies usually gave notice. Servicing and clearing beats repairing and replacing.
In Brisbane City Council's area, sewer and stormwater connection work needs council involvement. We handle that paperwork as part of the job.
Cannon Hill is in the Doboy ward. Work that touches the street rather than the house goes through them.
The smell is the main sign, along with a hissing near a fitting, or a gas bill that has climbed without a change in use. Treat any of them seriously.
Yes. Licensed gas work comes with a compliance certificate. Keep it - your insurer and any future buyer will ask for it.
Turn the gas off at the meter, open doors and windows, leave switches and naked flames alone, get everyone outside, then call. Do not wait to see whether the smell goes away.
Yes, including the connection, leak testing and certification. If the existing line cannot carry the appliance's load we will tell you before we start, not after.
For water, the mains tap at the meter. For gas, the valve at the meter, and no naked flames. Tell us what you have shut off when you call.
Usually yes. We carry the common washers, cartridges and spindles, so most Cannon Hill tap repairs are done in one visit rather than two.
We quote the job before we start, so the price you agree to is the price on the invoice. Ask on the phone and we will tell you what the attendance costs before we leave the depot.
