Licensed plumbers for Willoughby houses and units
A tap that won’t stop dripping at ten at night still needs a licensed plumber in Willoughby. Our plumber Willoughby team takes calls at any hour, for houses, townhouses and units.
We price every job before work starts, and the price holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, so you hear the figure first.
Which plumbing problems do Willoughby households ring about?
The 2021 Census counted 1,406 separate houses and 788 flats or apartments in Willoughby. Here are four jobs our plumber Willoughby team is called to.
Drains that run slow
A sink that gurgles or a floor waste that smells points to a blockage in the line. A camera shows whether a clean will hold or the pipe needs repair. Our blocked drain team does both.
Leaks behind walls
A rising water bill or a stain on a ceiling can mean a pipe is leaking out of sight. We start with hidden leak tracing before anything is opened up.
Hot water that fails
A unit that goes cold mid-shower is either repairable or finished. Our hot water repair work covers gas and electric units, and we tell you when replacing it makes more sense.
Taps and cisterns that run on
A tap that drips overnight wastes water all night. A cistern that keeps refilling does the same. A worn washer or a stuck float valve is the usual cause.
Turn every tap and appliance off, then watch your water meter for a few minutes. If the dial still moves, water is leaking somewhere on the property.
Which pipes belong to the owner in Willoughby?
Sydney Water owns the water main and the water meter at your property. It says the owner is normally responsible for private pipes up to where they connect to its services. The Sydney Water pipe diagrams show where its part ends and yours begins.
Emergency plumber Willoughby: call day or night
A burst hose behind the washing machine or a toilet that floods the bathroom won’t wait for morning. Call 1300 164 206 and a licensed plumber answers, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Evening and weekend rates differ, and you get the price before we start.
Find the tap that stops the water to your home before you need it. In a unit block, if you see common property that needs repairing, tell your building manager, strata manager or strata committee.
- Shut the water off at the main tap or the isolation valve.
- Turn the power off at the switchboard if water has reached a power point or a light.
- Run the lowest tap in the house until the pipes drain.
- Ring us, then keep everyone away from the wet area.
Gas fitting and hot water in Willoughby kitchens and bathrooms
Moving a gas heater, fitting a cooktop or adding a bayonet point is licensed work, and the connection is tested before it is used. Our licensed gas plumbing covers new connections, appliance swaps and pressure testing.
A storage hot water unit keeps a full tank hot. An instantaneous unit heats water only as it runs through. Both come in gas and electric models.
If you smell gas, get everyone outside and keep away from switches and appliances. Ring us from outside, whatever the hour.

What paperwork follows plumbing work in Willoughby?
A Notice of Work applies to plumbing work that needs an inspection. NSW lists emergency work and minor works, like replacing tap ware and existing hot water systems, as cases where one doesn’t need to be supplied.
A Certificate of Compliance confirms the work complies with the plumbing regulations and the Plumbing Code of Australia. Ask for your copy and keep it with your records. NSW explains it on its plumbing inspection documents page.
Plumbing in Willoughby’s houses, townhouses and units
The ABS counted 2,758 private dwellings in Willoughby in 2021, and the average household had 2.7 people. Here is the dwelling mix.

In a separate house, one owner is normally responsible for the pipes up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services. In a unit, who repairs a pipe depends on where it runs. About one occupied home in three was a flat or apartment.
Plumber Willoughby: who looks after which pipe?
| Part of the system | Who looks after it | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| The water main and the meter at your property. | Sydney Water. | Leave it to Sydney Water. |
| The junction where your wastewater pipe meets the main. | Sydney Water owns the junction. | The owner clears tree roots that enter it at the point of connection. |
| Private pipes and fixtures up to where they connect to Sydney Water’s services. | The property owner. | Book a licensed plumber. |
Plumber Willoughby work in strata buildings follows a different split. The NSW strata repairs guide says that in most cases owners repair plumbing in internal walls and fixtures such as baths, toilets, sinks and showers. The owners corporation repairs plumbing in boundary walls and under the floor.
That guide also says to check your strata plan and by-laws if you can’t tell who repairs what. Tenants should contact their real estate agent or landlord. In 2021, 771 Willoughby homes were rented.
We also take jobs in Naremburn, Castlecrag, Northbridge and Chatswood. To check your suburb, see where our North Shore plumbers work.
