Common questions

How Fast We Get to You

What happens after I call?

Someone picks up straight away, day or night, and asks a few quick questions about what's going on. From there we lock in a time to come out, often the same day, and settle on a fixed price before anything gets touched.

How do I book?

Ring (02) 9139 9982 and we'll sort a time on the spot. If you'd rather not call right now, send your details through our contact form instead and someone will get back to you to lock in a time.

How fast can you get here?

Most Gladesville jobs get booked in for the same day, and sometimes within the hour if it's genuinely urgent. We'll always give you a straight answer on timing when you call, rather than a vague window that could mean anything.

Do you work weekends and public holidays?

Yes, blockages don't clock off at five, and neither do we. Weekends and public holidays get the same crew and the same push to get someone out fast.

Common questions

Pricing, Quotes and Offers

Is the quote really free?

Yes, every quote is free and comes with no obligation to book anything. We look at the blockage, explain what's involved and why, then give you a firm quote before anything else happens, so you decide with the full picture in front of you.

Do prices change once you start?

No, whatever we agree upfront is what lands on the invoice, regardless of how long the job actually takes on the day. If something unexpected turns up, like a second blockage further along the line, we pause and price that separately before touching it.

How does your upfront fixed pricing work?

We assess the blockage first and walk you through what needs doing, then agree a dollar figure before any work starts. Once you've said yes to that figure, it stays exactly where it is, so the final invoice holds no surprises.

What does "$65 off your first service" cover?

New customers see $65 come off their first invoice with us, on top of anything else that applies that day. It sits alongside the free quote and the $0 call-out fee, one more way we make that first call easier.

Common questions

The Gladesville Questions

Can you handle new builds and renovations here?

Yes, Gladesville's mix runs from Federation-era cottages to units and townhouses going up through renovations and infill near Victoria Road, and both get quoted and handled the same way. A new stormwater or sewer connection gets agreed and priced upfront, just like an older repair job.

Do tree roots cause many blockages around Gladesville?

Often, yes. Established gardens around the older streets send roots into aged clay and earthenware pipes, and it tends to show up more in autumn, when leaf litter and fresh root growth both pick up around the same time each year.

Why do Gladesville's older homes get blocked drains?

A lot of the housing here dates to the Federation and inter-war years, and those homes were originally connected with earthenware clay pipework. It was a good material for its day, but a century in the ground leaves the joints prone to cracking and letting roots in.

How local are you, really?

As local as a service-area business gets: our crews are regularly working the streets around Glades Bay Park and the Victoria Road shops, not passing through en route to a bigger job elsewhere. You'll get a plumber who already knows this housing stock's older pipework, not someone learning it on your job.

Common questions

Licensing, Insurance and Responsibility

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes, on both counts. We work under NSW Plumbing Licence #465156C, cover gas fitting as well as drainage, and carry full insurance on every job, so you're protected regardless of the size of the work involved or how long it takes.

Can I clear a blocked drain myself?

For a slow sink, plunging it or running through some hot water usually does the trick. Anything beyond that, working on the actual drainage pipework, crosses into territory NSW law reserves for a licensed plumber, both for your safety and so the fix actually holds.

What is your lifetime labour warranty?

Every repair we carry out is covered by a lifetime labour warranty. If the same fault comes back on something we've fixed, we return and put it right at our cost, whether that repair was last month or years back.

Who is responsible for a blocked sewer, me or Sydney Water?

Generally, anything from your property boundary back to the house is your responsibility, and the water authority looks after the main once you're past that point. If a blockage sits right on that boundary line, we run a camera first so you're not paying to fix something that was never yours to fix.
