Licensed plumbers for Matraville houses and townhouses
A tap that won’t stop dripping or a drain that gurgles needs a licensed plumber in Matraville. Our plumber Matraville team takes calls at any hour, day or night.
We agree the price before work starts, and it’s fixed once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, so we quote your visit first.
What plumbing problems do Matraville homes have?
The 2021 Census counted 1,646 separate houses and 1,065 semi-detached homes, row houses and townhouses in Matraville. Each has drains, taps and hot water to look after. Four jobs come up in homes like these.
Drains that gurgle or back up
A blockage that keeps coming back has a cause further down the pipe. A camera shows whether clearing a blocked drain will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Wet patches and rising bills
A damp wall, or a water bill that climbs for no reason, points to a hidden leak. We trace it before we open up the wall.
Hot water that runs cold
A tank that runs out mid-shower needs a repair or a new unit. We handle hot water system repairs and tell you when a replacement makes more sense.
Taps and toilets that keep running
A drip from a tap, or a cistern that keeps refilling, pushes the water bill up. A new washer or float valve fixes many of them.
Whose pipes are whose in Matraville?
Sydney Water says the owner is normally responsible for private water and wastewater pipes. That runs up to where they connect to its services. If Sydney Water serves your home, that’s the line between your job and its job. Its typical connections guide has diagrams for each type of pipe.
Emergency plumber Matraville: any hour, day or night
A kitchen flooding at night, or a hot water tank leaking through the ceiling, won’t wait for morning. Call 1300 164 206 and a licensed plumber answers. Evening and weekend rates differ, and you get the price before we start. Here’s how our emergency plumbing help works.
Find your main tap before you need it. Sydney Water owns the water meter at your property. It says you must keep the meter free from damage.
- 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 in the house to drain the pipes.
- Move rugs and electronics away from the water, then call us.
Hot water and gas fitting for Matraville households
A storage unit heats a tank and keeps it hot. An instantaneous unit heats water only while a tap runs. Each type comes in gas and electric models.
Moving a gas heater, fitting a new cooktop or adding a bayonet point is licensed gasfitting work. Our contractor licence covers it. If you smell gas, get everyone outside and keep away from switches and appliances. Call us from outside, at any hour.
NSW says apartments, townhouses and villas in a strata scheme follow the same repair rules. If you can’t tell who looks after a pipe, check your strata plan and by-laws.

Do I need approval for plumbing work in Matraville?
Plumbing has its own forms. A plumber submits a Notice of Work before starting work that needs an inspection. NSW says a Notice of Work doesn’t need to be supplied in some cases, including emergency work and minor works such as 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 a copy and keep it with your house papers.
Plumbing in Matraville: houses, townhouses and flats
The NSW Electoral Commission lists Matraville among the localities that Randwick City Council covers, partially or wholly. The council’s Matraville Precinct comprises the suburb of Matraville and part of Chifley.

For a house on its own block, Sydney Water says the owner is normally responsible for the pipes up to where they connect to its services. A flat, townhouse or villa in a strata scheme splits the job.
NSW says that in most cases the owner of a strata home repairs plumbing in internal walls and fixtures, such as baths, toilets and sinks. The owners corporation repairs plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor.
Plumber Matraville: whose pipe is it?
| Where the problem is | Who looks after it | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The water pipe between Sydney Water’s system and your meter | The owner, though Sydney Water may repair it free if it’s less than one metre inside the boundary | Ask Sydney Water before you book a plumber. |
| Drinking water pipes from the connection to your taps | The property owner | Book a licensed plumber. |
| Wastewater pipes up to the point of connection, including that point | The property owner | Book a licensed plumber. |
| Rainwater or stormwater running into the sewer line | The owner: Sydney Water says you mustn’t allow it into the wastewater system | Have a plumber trace the connection. |
Sydney Water also says the owner clears any tree roots that enter the junction at the point of connection. Check with the council before a tree comes out over a drain. Randwick City Council says you may need approval to remove or prune a tree on private property. If roots have cracked the pipe, relining a cracked pipe repairs it from the inside with little digging.
We also look after Chifley, Malabar, Maroubra and Pagewood. To check your suburb, see where our Eastern Suburbs plumbers work.
