Licensed plumbers in Cannon Hill
Houses this age have tapware worth repairing rather than replacing.
5-star rated on Google
It is approximately 10.4 km east of the Brisbane CBD.
We re-seat and re-washer rather than ripping it out.
A standard house gives us everything we need for a tap repair in one trip.
Across its 3.8 sq km, Cannon Hill sits at roughly 1,763 residents per sq km. That is a suburban mix: mostly houses, with townhouses filling in.
Cannon Hill access is usually simple. Mention the gate, the dog and the meter location and we will be set.
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.
Check the meter with every tap closed. If the dial or the smallest digit is still turning, water is going somewhere it should not, and that is worth telling us before we arrive. It is the single most reliable test there is. If water is escaping, turn it off at the meter first and call second. Everything else - finding the source, working out the repair, agreeing a price - can happen with the water off. None of it can happen usefully while the water is still running.
Everything we open gets photographed before and after. It is useful to you, and if there is an insurance claim it is what they ask for.
Where original galvanised supply or earthenware drainage is involved, we will tell you roughly how much life is left and whether staged replacement makes more sense than repeated repairs. That is your decision to make with good information.
Emergency plumbing – give the experts a call
Every Cannon Hill job is quoted up front. If opening something up reveals a bigger problem, we stop and explain the options rather than pressing on and adding it to the bill.
Leak and burst work prices on two things: how long it takes to find, and how much has to be opened up to reach it. Finding it properly with acoustic equipment is the cheap part and it is what keeps the second part small. Opening walls to go looking is how these jobs get expensive. Detection and repair are usually the same visit, and the repair is quoted once the fault is located rather than estimated in advance. Guessing at a price before knowing where the leak is does neither of us any favours.
Re-seating a worn tap body is what makes a washer replacement last. Skipping it is why some taps start dripping again in a month.
The Cannon Hill jobs that turn into emergencies usually gave notice. Servicing and clearing beats repairing and replacing.
Brisbane City Council is the authority for notifiable plumbing work in Cannon Hill, and the lodgement is ours to handle.
The Doboy ward covers Cannon Hill, which is who we lodge with for anything on council land.
It runs continuously, so the water cost adds up long before the washer does. It is also the cheapest plumbing job there is, so there is no good reason to live with it.
Yes. Garden taps take weather and hose pressure and wear faster than indoor fittings, and they are quick to repair or replace.
Usually. We carry common washers, cartridges and spindles. Designer and imported tapware sometimes needs a part ordered, and we will tell you that on the spot rather than later.
The spindle or the cartridge has worn. Forcing it damages the seat, which turns a small repair into a larger one.
Cannon Hill is about 21.9 km from our Marsden base. When you call we give you a real arrival window for that day's workload, not a stock answer.
We quote before work begins and we do not revise it mid-job without talking to you first. If we find something unexpected, you decide what happens next.
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.
