What we find in Wakerley

Standard housing gives us a straightforward shut-off at the meter and easy access to the fixture. Tap work here is routine.

Wakerley in detail

Wakerley covers 4.9 sq km at around 1,779 people per sq km - a mix of detached houses and some townhouse infill.

Getting access in Wakerley

In Wakerley there is room to work. We just need to know where the meter sits and whether anything is between us and it.

Getting to Wakerley

It is well within our area; we just do not pretend the drive takes no time. Manly West, Ransome, Gumdale and Belmont sit on the same daily routes as Wakerley.

Before you call us

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. Note whether the problem affects hot water, cold water, or both. Both means the fault is before the hot water unit; hot only means it is after it. That one observation narrows the search considerably.

What happens when we arrive

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.

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

Quoting works the same way on every Wakerley job: we look, we price it, you agree, we do it. Anything we find along the way gets raised before it gets charged.

What affects the price

Making good - plaster, tiles, concrete - is usually a separate trade and a separate cost. We tell you upfront what we will and will not be putting back. Supplying your own tapware is fine and changes the quote accordingly. We will tell you before the day if what you have bought will not suit the existing connections.

Preventive work in Wakerley
