Licensed plumbers for Alexandria apartments and terraces
A ceiling stain under the flat above or a toilet that won’t stop refilling needs a licensed plumber in Alexandria. Our plumber Alexandria team takes calls at any hour, for apartments, townhouses and houses.
Every job gets a price before we start, and that price holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, and we quote the price first.
What plumbing problems turn up in Alexandria homes?
Most occupied homes in Alexandria are flats or apartments, according to the 2021 Census. These four jobs come up in homes like that, and in the terraces and houses around them.
Slow and blocked drains
A sink that drains slowly or a shower that pools points to a blocked waste line. A camera inspection shows whether drain clearing will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Leaks behind walls
A stain on a ceiling or a bill that keeps climbing points to a pipe leaking out of sight. We use hidden leak detection before anything is opened up.
Hot water that runs cold
A unit that goes cold halfway through a shower needs a repair or a replacement. Our hot water system repairs cover gas and electric units, and we tell you when replacement makes more sense.
Taps and toilets that keep running
A tap that drips or a toilet that keeps refilling wastes water and lifts the bill. A worn washer or a stuck float valve is a common cause.
A water meter that keeps moving with every tap and appliance off points to a leak somewhere on the property. Switch everything off and watch the dial for a few minutes.
Who looks after which pipes at a house?
Sydney Water says the property owner is normally responsible for private drinking water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to its services. If Sydney Water serves your house, a fault on your side of that point is yours to fix. Its pipe ownership guide shows where the line falls. Apartment owners should read the strata section further down.
Emergency plumber Alexandria: any hour, day or night
A burst flexi hose at midnight or a sewage overflow on a Sunday can’t wait for opening hours. Call 1300 164 206 and a licensed plumber answers. Evening and weekend rates differ, and you get the price before we start.
If you live in a strata building, tell your strata manager when water is coming from common property. NSW Government lists water damage from common property as the owners corporation’s job.
- Turn the water off at the main tap.
- Switch off the power at the switchboard if water has reached power points or lights.
- Open the lowest tap to drain the pipes.
- Move rugs and valuables off the floor, then call us.
Gas fitting and hot water for Alexandria kitchens and bathrooms
Swapping a gas cooktop, moving a heater or adding a bayonet point is licensed gasfitting work. Our gas fitting service covers new connections, appliance swaps and pressure testing.
A storage hot water unit heats a tank and holds it ready. An instantaneous unit heats water only as it flows through. Both come in gas and electric versions, and the right one depends on the space you have.
If you smell gas, get everyone out and don’t touch switches or appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour.

Do I need approval for plumbing work in Alexandria?
Plumbing has its own paperwork. A Notice of Work goes in before work that needs an inspection. NSW Government lists emergency work as a case where one isn’t needed. It does the same for minor works, like replacing tap ware or an existing hot water system.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the finished work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. Ask for your copy and keep it with your records.
NSW Government lists plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor as the owners corporation’s responsibility. Ask your strata manager before any work on them.
Plumbing in Alexandria’s apartment buildings
The NSW Electoral Commission lists Alexandria among the localities partially or wholly in the City of Sydney council area.
Alexandria homes in the 2021 Census
Source: ABS Census QuickStats. The ABS makes small random changes to figures for privacy.
Only 214 occupied homes in Alexandria were separate houses. The ABS counts 2,344 rented homes, and 2,939 flats or apartments, where an owners corporation is likely to be involved.
If you’re not sure whether your terrace or townhouse is in a strata scheme, check your title documents before you book. If Sydney Water serves a house on its own, the ownership rules in the earlier section apply. Either way, you get the price before we start.
NSW Government says property owners must repair and maintain anything within their property, and the owners corporation looks after common property. The table sets out where it draws the line for plumbing.
Plumber Alexandria: who fixes what in a strata building?
| Part of the building | Who looks after it | Next step |
