What we find in West End

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.

West End in detail

The Brisbane River shapes the local drainage. Low-lying blocks near it see surcharge first when the rain is heavy enough.

Getting access in West End

Access matters in a suburb as tightly built as West End. 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 West End

We service the suburb daily, and we will tell you honestly on the phone how long we will be. Our West End runs also take in Milton, South Brisbane, Highgate Hill and St Lucia.

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

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

Every West End job is quoted up front. If opening something up reveals a bigger problem, we stop and explain the options rather than pressing on and adding it to the bill.

What affects the price

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. Every quote is given before work begins. If what we find behind the wall changes the job, we stop and talk to you rather than continuing and adding a line to the invoice.

How we do it

We check the existing connections before removing anything, because that is when a problem is cheap to deal with.

Preventive work in West End

In West End, clearing gutters, downpipes and stormwater pits ahead of storm season is cheap insurance. the Brisbane River only takes what reaches it.

Approvals and compliance

West End is in the The Gabba ward. Work that touches the street rather than the house goes through them.

Frequently asked questions

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 - garden taps, hose bibs, laundry trough sets and outdoor showers are all standard work.
