Common questions

Pricing, Straight Up

Is the quote really free?

Yes. We'll come out, look at the problem, and give you a fixed number for the job with no charge for attending, whether or not you go ahead.

Why isn't the lowest price your main focus?

Because the lowest number on a quote often means the fastest patch, not the best fix. We'd rather price fairly for a proper job than compete on who can cut the most corners.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No, it's $0 to have a licensed plumber attend and assess what's wrong, regardless of the time of day or how the job turns out.

How does your upfront fixed pricing work?

We diagnose the problem first, then give you one number that covers the whole job. You approve it before we start, and it doesn't change partway through.

Common questions

Licensing, Insurance and Responsibility

Who is responsible for a blocked sewer, me or Sydney Water?

The short version: everything between your house and the boundary line is yours to maintain, and Sydney Water takes over from that point to the main. Exactly where that line falls on your block is something we'll point out once we're there.

Can you check my licence number?

Absolutely. We're Lic #465156C; verify.licence.nsw.gov.au has the official lookup if you'd like to double-check before we start.

Can I fix a plumbing emergency myself?

For anything involving water supply, drainage or gas, NSW law requires a licensed tradesperson. Before we arrive, it's safe to shut off water at the meter or leave the property if you smell gas.

What is your lifetime labour warranty?

The labour behind any repair or installation we carry out is guaranteed for life. Should our workmanship ever fail, putting it right again falls on us, not you.

Common questions

Response, Timing and Booking

Are you really available 24/7?

Yes, genuinely round the clock. Whether it's the middle of the night, a weekend or a public holiday, calling gets you a real person ready to help work out the next step.

What counts as a plumbing emergency?

Water actively spreading, a suspected gas leak, no hot water anywhere in the house, or a whole-house drainage stoppage all count. A single dripping tap generally doesn't.

How fast can you get here?

Same-day is what we aim for on every call, quicker again when water's actively spreading or gas is involved. We'll always be straight with you about realistic timing, never just a guess.

What happens after I call?

We talk through what's going on, get a licensed plumber moving toward you, and confirm a fixed quote on site before any work begins.

Common questions

Local to Willoughby

Why do Willoughby's older homes get plumbing emergencies?

A lot of the housing here dates to the Federation era, plumbed originally with clay drainage and fitted with hot water systems that get run right to the end of their working life. Both fail more often than newer equivalents.

What suburbs do you service around Willoughby?

Chatswood, Artarmon, Naremburn, Northbridge and Lindfield, alongside Willoughby itself. Living in or close to any of them puts you well within reach.

Do you take on local new builds and renovation work?

Plumbing for renovations, yes, particularly around the Penshurst Street and Willoughby Road strips where a lot of the older housing gets updated. New-build work depends on the scope; ask when you call.

How local are you, really?

Willoughby is our home turf, not a suburb we occasionally cover from further away. Winter call-outs for failed hot water systems in these older homes are some of our steadiest work.
