Licensed plumbers in St Lucia
Tapware upgrades here are quick and contained.
5-star rated on Google
It is approximately 7.3 km south-west of the Brisbane CBD.
The main variable is whether the old fittings come away cleanly.
You are welcome to supply your own tapware. We will fit what you have bought and tell you honestly beforehand if it will not suit the existing connections, rather than discovering it halfway through.
With the Brisbane River nearby, stormwater behaves differently street to street here - the blocks closest to it are the ones that back up first.
Parking and access in St Lucia are genuinely tight. Let us know what we are dealing with when you book and the visit goes far more smoothly.
Our St Lucia runs also take in West End, Highgate Hill, Dutton Park and Fairfield.
Have a rough idea of the age of the house and whether the plumbing has been done since. Pre-war pipework and a 2010 renovation behave very differently, and knowing which we are dealing with changes the first thing we check. 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.
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.
You should know what was wrong, what we did about it and what to watch for. That is the standard, regardless of the size of the job.
Emergency plumbing – give the experts a call
On St Lucia jobs the quote comes before the work. If what we find does not match what we expected, you hear about it before anything else happens.
The pressure test at the end is included, not extra. A repair that has not been tested is not a repair we would invoice for. 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.
We fit isolation valves while the water is off where they are missing. Small cost, large benefit.
Because the Brisbane River carries the local stormwater, keeping pits and downpipes clear in St Lucia is worth doing before the wet rather than during it.
Brisbane City Council approves plumbing work in St Lucia. Notifiable work is lodged after completion; anything more significant needs permission first.
St Lucia is part of the Walter Taylor ward. Street-side work and anything connecting to council infrastructure goes through that office.
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.
Yes - garden taps, hose bibs, laundry trough sets and outdoor showers are all standard work.
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.
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.
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.
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.
