Plumber Leichhardt

Local plumbers for Leichhardt homes, day or night

A plumber in Leichhardt spends most of the week in Victorian terraces and workers cottages, where the pipes are as old as the brickwork and the access is tight. Our licensed plumbers cover Leichhardt at any hour, and you agree the price before we start.

The dominant homes here are terraces, from two-bedroom workers cottages to large family houses with rear additions. The plumbing behind them has usually been patched over many decades, which is where most calls begin.

How do you fix an old drain in a Leichhardt terrace without digging?

Many terraces have clay or cast iron drains running under a small courtyard or through the house. Digging up a paved courtyard is slow and expensive, so where a pipe is cracked but still in line we use pipe relining in terrace homes, which seals the damaged length from the inside.

Every drain job starts with a camera, so you see the roots, the crack or the collapsed section for yourself. If the pipe is too far gone for relining, we say so and quote a repair that fits the access you have.

Terrace pipes often run along shared walls, so a leak in one home can show up next door. We find the source before opening any wall, and we tell you if the cause sits on your side of the boundary or theirs.

For a slow or blocked drain, clearing the blockage comes first, and the camera tells us whether it will stay clear.

Can a plumber fit a gas heater or cooktop in an older Leichhardt home?

Yes, if the work is done by a licensed gasfitter and tested before it is used. Many Leichhardt homes have gas cooktops and heaters, and some have gas pipe that has been extended several times. We carry out licensed gas fitting for new connections, appliance swaps and pressure tests on older lines.

If you ever smell gas, leave the house, do not touch switches or appliances, and call us from outside. Treat it as an emergency, whatever the hour.

Who fixes leaking taps, toilets and showers in Leichhardt?

We do, and usually in the one visit. A dripping mixer, a cistern that refills on its own or a shower that leaks behind the tiles all waste water and get worse with time. We handle fixing a leaking tap and repairing a running toilet as routine work.

In terraces the pipes behind those fixtures are often old galvanised steel, and low pressure at one tap is the usual first sign. We can replace the worst sections without redoing the whole house.

Licensed plumbers who are upfront about price

This is a family business that began in 2009, when an electrician who had trained as an apprentice from 2004 decided to work for themselves. Our plumbers work under NSW contractor licence 273594C and carry full insurance.

You get the price in writing before work begins, and it stays the same unless you approve a change. No call-out fee applies when you book a day or more ahead. We also do electrical work, so the Leichhardt electricians can attend the same visit when a job crosses trades.

Plumbing in Leichhardt’s terraces and Norton Street kitchens

Leichhardt Town Hall was built on Norton Street in 1888, and many homes in the streets around it date from the same era. Pipes of that age are often galvanised steel or cast iron that has corroded from the inside, so low pressure at one tap is often the first sign.

Norton Street itself is lined with cafes and restaurants, where busy kitchens put heavy demands on drains and hot water. We plan plumbing for cafes and restaurants around trading hours so the doors stay open.

The Balmain plumbers cover the area to the north, and the Inner West plumbing service lists the rest of the region.
