What we find in Highgate Hill

The install location on a small property is usually fixed, so the unit has to fit it.

Highgate Hill in detail

The Brisbane River takes the local runoff. Blocked downpipes and silted stormwater pits are more expensive mistakes on the blocks closest to it.

Getting access in Highgate Hill

Access in Highgate Hill is worth a sentence on the phone. Parking restrictions and shared entries change how we schedule the visit.

Getting to Highgate Hill

It is well within our area; we just do not pretend the drive takes no time. We cover South Brisbane, Dutton Park, St Lucia and West End on the same runs, so if your street sits on a boundary it makes no difference to us.

Before you call us

Tell us where the unit is - outside on a wall, in a cupboard, in the roof, under the house. Access decides how long the job takes and occasionally decides whether a replacement can go in the same spot. Count the people in the house and the bathrooms. If the complaint is that hot water runs out, the unit may be working perfectly and simply be too small for the household, and that is a different conversation.

What happens when we arrive

Where a replacement is the honest answer, we explain why, remove and dispose of the old unit, install the new one, commission it and lodge the paperwork.

After the job

The job finishes with a test, an explanation and any paperwork the work requires. All three, every time.

How we quote

In Highgate Hill we give you the price before we pick up a tool. Surprises during the job become a conversation, not an extra line on the invoice.

What affects the price

Servicing costs a fraction of replacement and is the single thing that most reliably extends a tank's life. The anode is the part doing the work and checking it is most of the job. The cheapest unit to buy is frequently the most expensive to run, and over ten years that gap is larger than the difference in purchase price. We give you both numbers rather than just the one on the invoice.

How we do it

We check the electrical or gas provision can carry the new unit before installing it, not after.

Preventive work in Highgate Hill

Stormwater maintenance in Highgate Hill means clear gutters, clear downpipes and clear pits, so the water actually reaches the Brisbane River.
