What we find in Redland Bay

Where the run from the unit to the bathroom is long, the system choice has to account for it.

Redland Bay in detail

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

Getting access in Redland Bay

Blocks in Redland Bay are generous, which usually means clear access but a longer walk from the van to the problem. We bring what the job needs rather than making two trips.

Getting to Redland Bay

We are there most days, and we would rather give you an accurate time than an optimistic one. The same vans cover Victoria Point, Southern Moreton Bay Islands, Woongoolba and Alberton, which is why a boundary address is never a problem.

Before you call us

Check two things first. Is there power or gas to the unit - has a breaker tripped or a pilot gone out? And is the isolation valve on the cold inlet fully open? Both are free to check and both account for a fair number of the calls we take. Have a sense of its age. If nobody has serviced it and it is well into its expected life, we will give you an honest view on repair versus replacement rather than fixing something that will fail again.

What happens when we arrive

On arrival we isolate the unit, test the electrical or gas supply to it, then work through the components. Most faults are identified within the first twenty minutes.

After the job

After the repair we test it properly and then tell you plainly what caused the problem. Knowing the cause is what turns a repair into a solution.

How we quote

We price Redland Bay work up front and hold to it. The only time a number changes is when we have found something and told you about it first.

What affects the price

Rebates change and vary by system and circumstance. We will tell you what we know and point you at the current scheme rather than quoting you a number we cannot stand behind. Replacement pricing turns on three things: the system type, whether you are staying with the same type, and whether the existing connections can take the new unit. Changing from electric to gas or to a heat pump usually means new connections and sometimes electrical work.

How we do it

Installation is licensed, notifiable work. We lodge it with the relevant council as part of the job rather than leaving it with you.

Preventive work in Redland Bay

Because the Logan River carries the local stormwater, keeping pits and downpipes clear in Redland Bay is worth doing before the wet rather than during it.

Approvals and compliance

In Redland City Council's area, sewer and stormwater connection work both need council approval before it starts.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on how many people use hot water and when. Undersizing is a daily annoyance for a decade, so we size for the household rather than the old unit.

Hot water installation is licensed plumbing work and is notifiable. We lodge what the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code requires with your council as part of the job.

A straight like-for-like replacement is usually a single visit. Changing type, moving the unit, or upgrading the connections takes longer, and we tell you which one yours is before the day.

Often yes, but changing from electric to gas, or to a heat pump, can mean new connections, a different location and sometimes electrical work. We check what your property can take before quoting.

Usually yes. We carry the common washers, cartridges and spindles, so most Redland Bay tap repairs are done in one visit rather than two.

Anything that can damage the property or put someone at risk: a burst pipe, a sewage overflow, a gas leak, or no water at all. Those get priority over scheduled work.

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.
