Pricing
5 questionsDo you charge a call-out fee?+
No call-out fee when you proceed with the work. We diagnose on-site, give you a fixed-price quote in writing, and if you approve the quote the call-out is waived. We don't do surge pricing.
How does upfront pricing work?+
We diagnose on-site, then write a fixed-price quote before any work begins. The number on the quote is what you pay — no hidden extras. If the job turns out more complex than expected, we stop, re-quote, and you decide whether to proceed.
Are there extra charges for nights or weekends?+
A small after-hours surcharge applies — never double or triple. The exact rate is quoted in writing before work starts. Same crew, same upfront-quote promise, day or night.
What payment methods do you accept?+
We accept card (tap or insert), bank transfer and cash. We email a tax invoice immediately on completion. No cheques.
Can I get a written quote before booking?+
For straightforward jobs like a tap install or hot-water swap — yes. Send details and photos via our contact form and we'll quote within a few hours. For diagnostics like leaks or drain blockages we need to see it on-site to be honest with you.
Booking
5 questionsHow quickly can you get to me?+
We prioritise urgent jobs. For burst pipes, major leaks and no hot water, we give you a clear arrival time when you call and get there as fast as we can.
Do you really answer the phone 24/7?+
Yes — every call is answered by a real human, day or night. After-hours calls go to our on-call lead who can dispatch a plumber or, for non-urgent issues, book you in for the morning.
Will you call before arriving?+
Always — about 30 minutes before. If we're running late (rare), we call as soon as we know.
Do I need to be home?+
For most jobs, yes — to give us access and approve the quote. For routine repairs we can sometimes work with a key in a lockbox or via a neighbour. Just let us know.
Can I cancel or reschedule?+
Yes, no fee with 24+ hours notice. Same-day cancellations may incur the standard call-out fee.
Services
4 questionsDo you do gas fitting?+
Yes — fully licensed Type A gas fitters. Cooktops, ovens, BBQs, hot water, leak detection. Every gas job comes with a compliance certificate.
Do you handle bathroom renovations?+
The plumbing side, yes — rough-in, fit-off, waterproofing coordination. For full demolition, tiling and cabinetry we partner with builders we trust and manage the plumbing within their schedule.
Can you repair or replace hot water systems?+
Yes. We repair and replace all common hot water systems and can help you choose the right option for your home.
Do you work on commercial buildings?+
Light commercial yes — cafes, retail, small offices. Major commercial, Type B gas or industrial work isn't our specialty and we'll refer you to a partner.
Warranty
5 questionsWhat's your workmanship guarantee?+
Lifetime guarantee. If anything we installed or repaired fails because of how we did the work, we come back and fix it — no questions, no fee. Manufacturer warranties on parts run separately.
Are you licensed and insured?+
Yes — BPC Registered and insured to $20M public liability. Every plumber on our team is individually licensed. Happy to send certificates.
What if I'm not happy with the job?+
Tell us. We'll come back the same week and make it right. If we genuinely missed the mark, we don't charge for the return visit. We'd rather lose a job's profit than your trust.
Are your plumbers police-checked?+
Yes. Every team member has a current National Police Check on file before they ever walk into a customer's home. Working with Children Checks too, since we get called for school and childcare jobs.
How do you protect my house during work?+
Drop sheets on every flat surface, shoe covers indoors, plastic sheeting around dust-prone work. Full clean-up before we leave — we aim to leave it cleaner than we found it.
