What we find in Kangaroo Point

At this density a tap repair can require building access if there is no local isolation.

Kangaroo Point 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 Kangaroo Point

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

Getting to Kangaroo Point

It is well within our area; we just do not pretend the drive takes no time. Fortitude Valley, New Farm, East Brisbane and Woolloongabba are all on our regular runs, so neighbouring streets get the same response.

Before you call us

If the water is near anything electrical, or has come through a ceiling, switch the power off at the board as well and tell us when you call. We would rather arrive knowing that than find out on site. The single most useful thing you can do before calling is find your water meter and the tap beside it. On most properties it is at the front boundary, sometimes under a hinged cover. Knowing where it is, and being able to turn it, is what stops a leak becoming a floor replacement.

What happens when we arrive

The repair is often the short part of the visit. Finding the right place to do it is where the skill and most of the time goes.

After the job

Older homes benefit from knowing the state of the whole system rather than just the bit that broke. After the repair we give you a plain assessment of what else looked tired, with no obligation attached to it.

How we quote

We price Kangaroo Point 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

Tapware repairs are priced on the fitting, not the brand. A common washer or cartridge is quick; imported and designer fittings sometimes need a part ordered and we say so on the spot. 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.

How we do it

Every tap we touch gets tested under pressure and checked for weeping at the base as well as the spout.

Preventive work in Kangaroo Point

Because the Brisbane River carries the local stormwater, keeping pits and downpipes clear in Kangaroo Point is worth doing before the wet rather than during it.

Approvals and compliance

Because Kangaroo Point is in the Brisbane City Council area, sewer and stormwater connections need council sign-off. We arrange it.

Kangaroo Point is covered by the The Gabba ward, which matters for any work in the verge or the street rather than on the block.

Frequently asked questions

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.

A leaking base can, because the water goes into the cabinetry rather than down the drain. A dripping spout mostly costs you money.

Yes. Garden taps take weather and hose pressure and wear faster than indoor fittings, and they are quick to repair or replace.

Usually. Older bodies are often repairable with a washer and a re-seat. Imported and designer fittings sometimes need a part ordered, and we tell you on the spot.

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.

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.

We cover Fortitude Valley, New Farm, East Brisbane and Woolloongabba on the same runs, so a boundary address makes no difference to the response you get.
