Common questions
Response Times and Booking
How do I book?
Give us a call and we'll sort a time then and there, often with someone out that same day. If ringing isn't convenient, leave your details in the contact form and expect a callback soon.
How fast can you get here?
Same-day service is the standard promise here, and most calls get a plumber out before the day is done. Exact timing depends on where you are along the ridge and what else is booked in, but we'll always give you a straight answer when you call.
Do you work weekends and public holidays?
Yes, we're on call right through the year, covering weekends and public holidays alike, with no change to how we quote the job. A blocked drain on a Sunday afternoon gets the same quote and the same response as one on a Tuesday morning.
Are you really available 24/7?
Yes, someone answers in person any time you ring, not a machine and not a script. Whether it's 2am or the middle of the afternoon, an overflowing gully gets treated the same way either time.
Common questions
Pricing, Quotes and Offers
Do prices change once you start?
No. The figure you're quoted before work starts is the figure you pay once it's done. Whether the callout wraps up in half an hour or drags on past lunch, that figure doesn't budge.
What discounts do you offer?
New customers save $65 on their first service. A premium garden tap goes in free on any paid job, and jobs worth $200 or more come with a free plumbing inspection. Any jet blast includes a free CCTV look at the line, and seniors save 20% on the total.
How does your upfront fixed pricing work?
A plumber turns up, checks the job in person, and settles on one price before so much as a spanner comes out, nothing guessed at and nothing left off the invoice. That figure is what gets charged, whether the job's over inside ten minutes or the visit stretches deep into the afternoon.
What does 'from $89' actually include?
The $89 starting point covers straightforward jobs, think a single blocked fixture cleared with our standard gear, nothing more complicated than that. Before we start, we walk the price past you on site, so there's no surprise once the invoice lands, whatever turns up underneath the house.
Common questions
Local Answers for Berowra
Most of the suburb's streets went in from the 1960s onward, so a lot of what we see underground still dates back to that first building wave.
What suburbs do you service?
We cover Berowra and the surrounding Hornsby Shire suburbs, including Mount Colah, Asquith, Hornsby, Waitara and Normanhurst, and most points in between. If your street isn't on that list, get in touch anyway, there's a good chance we already cover it.
Can you handle new builds and renovations here?
New-build jobs come through regularly, mostly straightforward PVC work fresh out of the ground. Renovations on the older stock are just as common, and that's often where original pipework turns up mid-project, which we point out before it's covered by new tiles.
Do you handle strata and units?
This suburb is overwhelmingly detached houses on bush-fringe blocks, so strata jobs are the exception rather than the rule out here. When we do get a units or duplex job, a shared line affecting more than one property gets diagnosed and quoted the same as any house call.
How local are you, really?
We're regularly out around Club Berowra and the skatepark near the oval, not just passing through on the way to somewhere else. Mount Colah, Asquith, Hornsby, Waitara and Normanhurst get that same regular coverage, not an occasional detour.
Common questions
Who's Responsible for What
What is your lifetime labour warranty?
Every job comes with a lifetime labour warranty, no fine print and no time limit anywhere in it. If our workmanship ever fails, we come back and fix it at no cost, no matter how long it's been or whose fault it turns out to be.
Who is responsible for a blocked sewer, me or Sydney Water?
Generally, you're responsible for the wastewater pipes on your own property, while Sydney Water owns the main and the connection point out at the street. If the blockage sits on your side of that boundary, which is the more common case, it's a job for a licensed plumber, not the water authority.
Can I clear a blocked drain myself?
A plunger or some hot water down the drain fixes plenty of everyday clogs around the sink or shower. Once it's the pipe itself causing grief rather than the fixture, NSW law puts that squarely in licensed-plumber territory, so ring us if those quick fixes don't do the trick.
What standards does drainage work follow?
AS/NZS 3500 is the rulebook behind every job we do, the Australian standard covering how waste and drainage systems get built and repaired. Holding a plumbing licence means that standard applies automatically, on the simple jobs as much as the tricky ones.
