What we find in Sherwood

Isolation valves are worth fitting at the same time. They turn every future repair into a small job instead of a whole-house shut-off.

Sherwood in detail

With the Brisbane River nearby, stormwater behaves differently street to street here - the blocks closest to it are the ones that back up first.

Getting access in Sherwood

Access matters in a suburb as tightly built as Sherwood. Street parking, shared driveways and basement car parks all slow a job down, so tell us about them when you book and we will plan the visit around them.

Getting to Sherwood

We are there most days, and we would rather give you an accurate time than an optimistic one. Graceville, Tennyson, Rocklea and Corinda 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

We expose, repair, test under pressure, and only then make good. You get told what failed and whether the pipe either side of it is in the same condition.

After the job

We leave the area clean and we leave you with a clear account of the work. Nothing is left vague for a later invoice to explain.

How we quote

You will know the cost of a Sherwood job before it starts. Anything that changes the scope is discussed with you rather than decided for you.

What affects the price

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. Emergency isolation and the permanent repair can be two visits and two prices where a part has to come. You will know that on the first visit rather than after it.

How we do it

We clean up the connections properly rather than reusing tired seals and hoping.

Preventive work in Sherwood

Keeping the stormwater path to the Brisbane River clear is the single most useful preventive job on a Sherwood property.

Approvals and compliance

Brisbane City Council approves plumbing work in Sherwood. Notifiable work is lodged after completion; anything more significant needs permission first.

Sherwood sits in the Tennyson ward, which is who you would be dealing with for anything involving council infrastructure in the street.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, we take the old fittings away. You should not be left with them.

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.

They are worth having. An isolation valve lets you shut off one fixture instead of the whole house, which turns a future repair into a much smaller job.

Yes. We will install tapware you have bought, and we will tell you honestly if what you have chosen will not suit the existing connections - before we start rather than halfway through.

Yes, as a priority job. Shut the water off at the meter first - that stops the damage while we are on the way to Sherwood.

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.

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.
