A licensed plumber for Greenwich houses and apartments
A leak behind a bathroom wall or a hot water unit that’s gone cold needs a licensed plumber in Greenwich. Our plumber Greenwich team works on houses and apartments and takes calls at any hour.
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 goes wrong in Greenwich houses and flats?
The 2021 Census counted 1,076 separate houses and 933 flats or apartments in Greenwich. Here are four plumbing jobs we’re called to in homes like these.
Slow and blocked drains
A kitchen sink that drains slowly or a shower that pools around your feet points to a blockage. We run a camera through the line, then explain whether clearing the blocked drain will hold.
Leaks behind walls
A stained ceiling below a bathroom or a water bill that keeps climbing can mean a hidden leak. We use leak detection without demolition to find the pipe before anything is cut open.
Hot water that runs out
A unit that goes cold halfway through a shower needs a repair or a swap. We offer hot water unit repairs and say when replacing it makes more sense.
Dripping taps and running toilets
A tap that drips overnight or a cistern that never stops filling wastes water. A worn washer or a stuck float valve is the usual cause.
Who looks after which pipes at a Greenwich property?
Sydney Water says the property owner is normally responsible for private drinking water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to its services. Sydney Water owns the water main, usually under the street or footpath, and the meter at your property. It also owns the wastewater junction, but you’re responsible for your connection to it.
The owner also clears tree roots that enter the junction at the point of connection. You must keep the meter free from damage and let Sydney Water reach it. In a strata building, it depends on where the pipe runs. The table further down shows what NSW says in most cases.
Emergency plumber Greenwich: day or night, every day
A pipe that bursts at 2am or a toilet that overflows 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.
Learn where your isolation valve is before you need it. Our emergency plumbing team takes the call whatever the hour.
- Turn the water off at the main tap or isolation valve.
- Switch off the power at the switchboard if water has reached power points or lights.
- Open the lowest tap to drain the pipes.
- In an apartment, tell your strata manager or building contact as well, then call us.
Hot water and gas fitting for Greenwich households
Moving a gas heater, swapping a cooktop 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 keeps a tank of heated water ready. An instantaneous unit heats water as it flows through. Both come in gas and electric versions, and either can be repaired or replaced.
If you can’t tell who should repair something in a strata building, NSW says to check your strata plan and by-laws.
If you smell gas, get everyone outside and don’t touch switches or appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour.

Do I need approval for plumbing work in Greenwich?
Plumbing work has its own paperwork. A Notice of Work outlines the plumbing and drainage work to be carried out. NSW says a plumber submits one for work that needs an inspection, and lists emergency work and minor works, like replacing tap ware, as exceptions.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the finished work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. Ask your plumber for a copy and keep it with the house papers.

Greenwich homes in the 2021 Census

Greenwich had 1,076 separate houses and 933 flats in 2021. A property owner is normally responsible for the pipes up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services. In a strata building, NSW says the owners corporation looks after common property, and owners look after anything within their property.
Plumber Greenwich: who looks after which pipe?
| Where the pipe runs | Who looks after it | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Plumbing in internal walls and fixtures such as sinks, toilets and showers, in a strata lot | The owner, says NSW | Call a licensed plumber. |
| Plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor, in a strata building | The owners corporation, says NSW | Tell the strata manager first. |
| Water main (usually under the street or footpath) and the meter | Sydney Water | Keep the meter free from damage. |
| Private pipes in a house, up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services | The property owner | Have a licensed plumber repair them. |
NSW says this is who’s responsible in most cases. If you can’t find the answer, check your strata plan and by-laws.
We also look after Lane Cove, Longueville, Riverview and St Leonards. Our plumbers in the North Shore cover the rest of the region too.
