Licensed plumbers in Paddington
We fit isolation valves at the same time where they are missing.
5-star rated on Google
Measured from the Brisbane CBD, Paddington is about 4.6 km west-north-west.
It makes every future repair smaller.
We check the supply pipework in older homes before quoting new tapware, because corroded galvanised will not take a new fitting well.
With Ithaca Creek nearby, stormwater behaves differently street to street here - the blocks closest to it are the ones that back up first.
Many Paddington jobs involve a building rather than a house. Intercoms, key fobs, parking restrictions and body corporate approvals all matter, so tell us what applies.
Red Hill, Petrie Terrace, Milton and Auchenflower are all on our regular runs, so neighbouring streets get the same response.
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. 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.
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 work we note anything worth watching - a joint weeping slightly, a section that has corroded more than its neighbours - so you are not surprised later.
Emergency plumbing – give the experts a call
Quoting works the same way on every Paddington job: we look, we price it, you agree, we do it. Anything we find along the way gets raised before it gets charged.
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. 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.
We check the existing connections before removing anything, because that is when a problem is cheap to deal with.
Stormwater maintenance in Paddington means clear gutters, clear downpipes and clear pits, so the water actually reaches Ithaca Creek.
Work in Brisbane City Council's area follows the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code, with council handling approvals. We lodge what needs lodging rather than leaving it with you.
Paddington is part of the Paddington ward. Street-side work and anything connecting to council infrastructure goes through that office.
Only if the old ones were restricting flow. If the pressure problem is upstream, new tapware will not fix it, and we will say so before you spend the money.
Yes - garden taps, hose bibs, laundry trough sets and outdoor showers are all standard work.
We check compatibility before the visit wherever possible. If something genuinely will not suit, you hear it before anything is removed rather than halfway through.
Yes, including the under-sink filter and the dedicated outlet. We check there is space and a suitable connection before quoting.
Usually. We clear and camera first, and excavation only happens when the pipe itself has failed. You see the footage before we recommend anything.
Yes. We are QBCC licensed and insured, and work in Paddington is carried out to the Queensland Plumbing and Wastewater Code with Brisbane City Council as the assessing authority.
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.
