Common questions

Money, Quotes and Offers

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. Turning up and assessing the problem costs $0, and that stands even if you decide not to go ahead afterward.

What does the $65 off your first service cover?

New customers who book online get $65 taken off their first job with us, layered on top of our normal fixed-quote model. The discount stands across every job we run, from a cleared drain to a gas fix, not just one nominated service.

Does the price change once you start?

No. The number you approve before we start is the number on the invoice. If something genuinely unexpected turns up mid-job, we stop and talk it through with you before doing any more work, we don't just add it to the bill.

Is the quote really free?

Yes, always, whether you go ahead with the work or not. We'd rather you have the information than feel pressured into a decision.

Common questions

The Legal Stuff, Made Simple

Are your plumbers qualified to work on gas?

Yes. Licensed plumbers and gas fitters both work under our licence, and NSW law requires that specific ticket for anything gas-related.

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

It comes down to whereabouts the fault sits. Everything up to your property's boundary connection is on you; past that point, it's Sydney Water's asset, not ours to bill you for. Whichever it is, we'll say so honestly before quoting a thing.

Can you check my licence number?

Yes, it's Lic #465156C, and it's checkable any time against the public NSW licensing register.

Can I fix a plumbing emergency myself?

Some things are safe. You can turn the water off at the meter yourself, for instance. Anything beyond that, especially near gas, legally needs a licensed plumber, and getting it wrong can cause more damage than the original problem.

Common questions

When We Can Come

How do I book?

Ring (02) 9140 0185 to reach us quickest, or leave your details on our contact page for a callback.

How fast can you get here?

Same day where we genuinely can manage it. We'll give you an honest sense of timing on the call rather than a vague promise.

Are you really available 24/7?

Yes. A real person answers the phone day or night, weekends and public holidays included, every time you call.

Do you work weekends and public holidays too?

Yes, same team, same pricing, no different treatment just because it's a Sunday or a long weekend.

Common questions

Local to Newington

Do you cover the suburbs next to Newington?

Yes, our on-call team regularly works Ermington, Lidcombe, Dundas Valley, Melrose Park and Rydalmere alongside Newington itself.

Do you take on new builds and renovation work locally?

We're primarily an emergency and repair team, though renovation-related plumbing that overlaps with our usual work is worth asking about, especially in townhouses from the original 1980s-2000s build wave being updated now. Give us a ring to talk it through and we'll be upfront about whether it's our kind of work.

Do you handle strata and units in Newington?

Regularly. Townhouses and apartments make up a large share of Newington, so navigating access and building-management sign-off is routine for us, not a delay.

How local are you, really?

Newington is our home turf, not a suburb we drive across the city for. We know the streets around Newington Public School and the medical practice on Avenue of the Americas well enough to get there without needing directions.
