Plumber Paddington

Hot water repairs and replacement in Paddington

Plenty of Paddington homes still run an electric storage tank tucked under the house or bolted to a back wall, while the renovated cottages off Fernberg Road often move to continuous flow gas when the kitchen gets its makeover. We repair and replace both electric and gas systems, and we will tell you straight when a repair makes more sense than a new unit. Access is half the job in this suburb, because homes on stumps hide the tank in tight under-house spaces. Our hot water service covers supply, installation and removal of the old unit in a single visit.

Blocked drains on Paddington's hillside blocks

Paddington’s steep blocks drain hard downhill, and a fair chunk of the suburb still runs on earthenware sewer lines laid generations ago. Tree roots find every joint in old clay pipe, so a slow gully or a gurgling toilet is usually roots, not bad luck. We clear blocked drains with a high-pressure jetter, then put a camera down the line so you can see exactly what caused the blockage and where it sits. On terraced yards around Martha Street we also sort out stormwater that sheets over paths and retaining walls in a summer downpour.

Emergency plumber near Latrobe Terrace, 24/7

Old galvanised water lines fail without warning, and in a timber Queenslander a burst pipe finds the floorboards fast. First move: turn the water off at the meter out the front. Our emergency guide walks you through that and the other steps that limit damage before we arrive. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year, and we will give you an honest arrival window when you call, not a promise invented to win the job.

Gas fitting and leak detection in Paddington

Our team are licensed gas fitters as well as plumbers, so cooktop changeovers, bayonet points and gas leak checks in Paddington’s older homes are all in-house work. On the water side, a bill that jumps with no change in your habits usually means a hidden leak, and we trace those with specialist leak detection equipment instead of digging on a hunch. Worth knowing: Urban Utilities owns the water main and the meter, but every pipe on your side of the meter belongs to the property owner, so a leak under the driveway is yours to fix. Our leak detection service pinpoints it before anyone lifts a paver.
