A licensed plumber for Norwest apartments and homes
A leak through a bathroom ceiling or a hot water unit gone cold needs a licensed plumber in Norwest. Our plumber Norwest team takes calls at any hour and works on apartments, townhouses and houses.
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 Norwest apartments and homes?
The ABS counts flats, townhouses and separate houses in Norwest. Here are four plumbing jobs that suit homes like these.
Blocked drains
Grease, wipes and kitchen scraps can build up in a drain line until it stops. A camera inspection shows whether drain clearing will hold or the pipe needs repair.
Leaks behind walls
A rising water bill, a stained ceiling or a damp wall can point to a pipe leaking out of sight. Leak detection for hidden pipes finds the source before anyone cuts into a wall.
Hot water that fails
A unit that runs cold in the shower or drips at the base needs attention. We handle hot water repairs on gas and electric units.
Taps and toilets
A dripping tap or a cistern that keeps refilling wastes water and lifts the bill. A worn washer or a sticking float valve is a common cause.
Which pipes are yours in Norwest?
Sydney Water says the owner is normally responsible for private water and wastewater pipes up to where they connect to its services. Its pipe ownership guide shows where that line falls. In a strata building, the owners corporation looks after common property and owners repair anything inside their own property. More on that further down.
Sydney Water says a blockage is probably in your private pipes if your neighbours aren’t affected, your drainage isn’t shared with other properties, there’s no flooding in your local area, and the overflow only happens when you use water on your property. You’ll need a licensed plumber to clear it, as the wastewater blockage page explains.
Emergency plumber Norwest: any hour, day or night
A pipe that bursts at midnight or a toilet that overflows on a Sunday can’t wait for opening hours. Call 1300 164 206 and a licensed plumber answers. Our emergency plumbing service works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and you get the price before we start.
Find the main tap, or your unit’s isolation valve, before you need it. While you wait, work through this list.
- 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 and ease the pressure.
- Lift valuables off the floor, then call us.
Gas fitting, hot water and backflow devices in Norwest
Moving a gas heater, replacing a 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 heats a tank and keeps it ready. An instantaneous unit heats water only as it flows through. Both come in gas and electric versions.
A backflow prevention device is a one-way valve that stops used water flowing back into the mains. Our plumbers also install and test these devices and connect water meters.
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 Norwest?
Some plumbing work needs an inspection. When it does, the plumber submits a Notice of Work before starting. NSW 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. Ask your plumber for a copy and keep it with your records.
Plumbing in Norwest’s apartments and townhouses
The NSW Planning Portal lists a Norwest planning proposal under The Hills Shire.
Norwest homes in the 2021 Census
Source: ABS Census QuickStats. The ABS makes small random changes to figures for privacy.
The ABS prints more flats and apartments than separate houses for Norwest. In a house, the owner is normally responsible for the private pipes up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services. In a strata building, the NSW Government says the owners corporation repairs common property and owners repair anything in their own property.
The ABS also counted 708 rented homes. In a strata building, the NSW Government says tenants should ask their landlord about repairs. Owners should ask their strata manager or strata committee about common property repairs.
Plumber Norwest: who repairs it in a strata building?
| Part of the building | Who repairs it in most cases | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Plumbing in internal walls and fixtures, like baths, toilets, sinks and showers | The owner | Book a licensed plumber. |
| Plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor | The owners corporation | Tell the strata manager or committee. |
| Roof and gutters | The owners corporation | Tell the strata manager or committee. |
If you can’t find the answer to who should make a repair, the NSW Government says to check your strata plan and by-laws.
We also look after Bella Vista, Kellyville, Baulkham Hills and Rouse Hill. Our plumbers in the Hills District cover the rest of the region too.
