Pricing and Quotes
Most first calls start with cost, so here is how the money side works. The short version: you approve a price before anyone picks up a tool.
Call (07) 3067 4272How much will my plumbing job cost?
Every job gets a fixed quote before any work starts, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay, with access, pipe age and the parts needed all shaping that number.
What payment methods do you accept?
Payment happens once the job is done, by card or EFTPOS on site, which means no follow-up to deal with and no invoice arriving a week after we leave.
Can you come out today?
Same-day where we can, so call early and we'll do our best to have a plumber at your place that day, and we'll always give you an honest time over the phone.
Do small jobs get the same fixed quote?
They do, because a dripping tap and a full bathroom refit both get the price in writing before any work starts, and the price you approve is the price you pay.
Our Services
The range runs wider than most people expect. These four answers cover the boundaries of what we take on, and a phone call goes deeper on any of them.
Call (07) 3067 4272What plumbing services do you cover?
Tap repairs, toilet repairs, bathroom and kitchen plumbing, leak detection, gas fitting, blocked drains, hot water and emergencies, all grouped under four broad families of work that between them cover every common household job.
Can you fix a drain that keeps blocking?
A repeat blockage usually points to a fault in the line rather than a soft choke, so a camera run shows whether a clean will hold or a repair is the smarter spend.
Do you replace hot water systems?
We do, and when a tank reaches the end of its life we talk you through storage, continuous-flow and heat-pump options in plain words, then fit the new system and take the old one away.
Are you licensed for gas fitting?
Gasfitting is one of our licensed classes under QBCC No: 15024607, covering cooktops, heaters, bayonets and gas leak repairs, with every job tested and certified before we pack up and leave.
Emergencies
Emergencies are about the first five minutes, not the booking. These answers tell you what to do before we arrive and what genuinely cannot wait until morning.
Call (07) 3067 4272What counts as a plumbing emergency?
An unstoppable leak, wastewater coming back up inside, an overflowing pan or the smell of gas all justify ringing straight away instead of booking ahead, and (07) 3067 4272 reaches us directly.
What should I do while I wait for a plumber?
Close the meter valve for a burst or the unit's stop tap in an apartment, keep children and pets away from wastewater, and get outside first if gas is involved.
A pipe has burst. What do I do first?
Close the meter valve straight away, then open a low tap to drain what is left in the pipes, which stops the spreading while you ring us.
I can smell gas. What now?
Get everyone outside and ring from the street, without touching switches, lighting anything or hunting for the source, because a gas leak is the one job nobody should investigate alone.
Local Conditions and Booking
Some questions only make sense on this patch of Brisbane's north. These cover the pipe stock, the stormwater and the ground itself, then finish with how to get a plumber booked in.
Call (07) 3067 4272Why does my drain keep blocking after a clear?
Cottage-era earthenware and salt-glazed lengths are the usual reason, because those rigid sockets shift as the ground moves and leave a lip that snags paper and silt until the joint is properly repaired.
Does storm season make drain problems worse?
It can, because storm run-off from the ridge reaches the low Toombul flats beside Schulz Canal quickly, so house drains and stormwater pits there fill together and a blocked line shows itself in a downpour.
Who owns the sewer pipe, me or Urban Utilities?
Urban Utilities looks after the public sewer and water mains under the street, while every pipe on the property side of the connection, from your fixtures out to that junction, belongs to the owner.
How do I book a plumber in Nundah?
Ring (07) 3067 4272 and tell us what is happening, because a few quick questions about the fault, the address and access mean the right parts arrive on the first visit with a time locked in.
