Prices, Quotes and Booking
The money questions first, because they are the ones everyone asks.
Call (07) 3067 4289How do prices work before anyone starts?
You get a fixed quote before any work starts, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay, and nothing gets underway until you have seen it in writing.
What changes the price of a job?
Access under a house, the age of the fittings we meet, and how deep a drain sits under a lawn all shift the price, which is why we quote each job on its own facts.
Can I pay on the day?
Yes, you can settle with card or EFTPOS when the work is done, so there is no invoice to post and no transfer to chase once our plumbers pack up and leave your place.
Can you come out the same day?
We work same-day where we can, so ring early and tell us what is happening, because a morning call gives our plumbers the best chance of reaching you before dark.
The Services We Cover
From emergency plumbing to general plumbing, here is what the work includes.
Call (07) 3067 4289Are you licensed for gas work as well as plumbing?
Yes, licensed plumbing and gasfitting under QBCC No: 15024607 covers the water, drainage and gas work we take on, from heater connections and bayonet points to gas leak callouts and appliance changeovers.
Do you clear blocked drains and sewers?
Yes, our plumbers clear blocked drains, sewers and stormwater lines, and a camera run down the line shows whether tree roots or a settled pipe means the problem will come back next season.
Do you repair and replace hot water systems?
Yes, we fix failing tanks and fit new ones, and because most cylinders in these 1980s and early-1990s estate homes are second-generation replacements, a good share of them sit closer to replacement than repair.
What counts as a plumbing emergency?
Water you cannot shut off, a flooding toilet, a cold shower in winter or any smell of gas, and the gas one means leaving the property and calling us from outside.
Do you work on bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes, from leaking shower recesses and mixer taps to kitchen sinks, dishwashers and the braided hoses tucked in the cupboards beneath them, our plumbers cover every room in the house that carries water.
Can you find leaks I cannot see?
Yes, we trace hidden leaks from the meter inward, along walls and under floors, which matters when a damp patch on carpet is the only sign of a pipe weeping behind plaster.
Ferny Grove Homes and Conditions
The local questions, answered from the suburb itself.
Call (07) 3067 4289Who owns which pipes in Ferny Grove?
Urban Utilities keeps the public water and sewer network running, and everything from the connection point back toward your house, including the stormwater pipes and yard pits, is yours as the owner.
Why do hot water tanks fail around here?
Most of these homes date from the estate boom of the late 1970s through the mid-1990s, meaning any tank installed new back then has already been replaced, and it is those replacements now failing.
Do storms cause drain problems here?
Yes, Kedron Brook and Cedar Creek take the first rush of any downpour here, and an intense storm can fill gully grates and yard pits faster than they clear, sending water against house walls.
Does the slope of the suburb matter for drainage?
It does, because water off the roofs and driveways above runs down onto the properties below on the steeper streets, so one choked boundary drain can send trouble downhill to the neighbour below.
Which suburbs do you service?
Our plumbers work the streets around the railway station and out along the main roads, with regular jobs through Ferny Hills, Keperra and Upper Kedron, so a callout there stays a short run.
How do I book a plumber in Ferny Grove?
Ring (07) 3067 4289, describe the problem at your place to our team, and we will arrange a time that suits, bringing the parts the job needs on the first visit.
