Licensed plumbers for Glebe terraces and apartments, day or night
A tap that won’t stop dripping in a terrace needs a licensed plumber in Glebe. So does a drain that backs up in a flat. Our plumber Glebe team takes calls day and night.
Each 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 come up in Glebe homes?
The 2021 Census counted 2,469 semi-detached, row or terrace homes and 2,405 flats or apartments in Glebe, against 260 separate houses. Here are four jobs we’re called to in homes like these.
Blocked drains
A slow sink or a gurgling toilet points to a blockage in the line. A camera inspection shows whether clearing a blocked drain will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Leaks you can’t see
A rising water bill or a damp patch on a wall points to a pipe leaking out of sight. We use leak detection for hidden pipes before anything is opened up.
Hot water that gives out
A unit that runs cold halfway through a shower needs a repair or a replacement. We handle repairs to hot water systems and tell you when replacing it makes more sense.
Dripping taps and running toilets
A worn washer or a stuck float valve wastes water and pushes the bill up. Our team does tap repairs and fixes cisterns that never stop filling.
If a drain pipe has cracked, relining is one repair option. It puts a new lining inside the old pipe, so there’s less digging than a full replacement. Here’s how our pipe relining work goes.
Who owns which pipes in Glebe?
If Sydney Water serves your home, it says the owner is normally responsible for private water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to its services. A leak or blockage in that stretch is the owner’s to fix. Its pipe ownership guide shows where the line falls.
Emergency plumber Glebe: any hour, day or night
A burst pipe or an overflowing toilet 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.
Find your shut-off valve before you need it. If Sydney Water serves your home, it owns and maintains the water main and the water meter at your property. In a block of flats, ask your strata manager where the shut-off valves are.
- Turn the water off at the valve or the main tap.
- Switch off the power at the switchboard if water has reached power points or lights.
- Open the lowest tap you can reach to drain the pipes.
- Move rugs and valuables off the floor, then call us.
Our emergency plumbing service covers burst pipes, flooded fixtures and sewage overflows.
Gas fitting and hot water for Glebe households
Moving a gas heater, fitting a new cooktop or adding a bayonet point is licensed gasfitting work. Our gas plumbing service covers new connections, appliance swaps and pressure testing.
A storage hot water unit keeps a tank of heated water ready. An instantaneous unit heats water as it flows through. Both come in gas and electric versions.
We also look after backflow prevention devices and water meter connections. A backflow prevention device is a valve that stops water flowing backwards into the mains supply.
If you smell gas, get everyone out and don’t touch switches or appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour.

Does plumbing work in Glebe come with a certificate?
Some jobs do. NSW says a plumber submits a Notice of Work to Building Commission NSW before starting work that needs an inspection. It lists emergency work and minor works, like replacing tap ware or an existing hot water system, as cases where one isn’t needed.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the finished work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. The plumber gives a copy to the person who arranged the work. Keep it with your house or strata records.
Plumbing in Glebe’s terraces and apartment buildings
