What we do for Gold Coast homes

Gold Coast plumber's work: neatly installed chrome and copper pipework beneath a bathroom vanity

Plumbing

Leaking taps and mixers, running toilets, burst pipes, low water pressure, water hammer and new fixtures. We find the cause, give you a fixed price before work starts and leave the job tested and tidy. Most of our plumbing work is in established homes from Southport to Nerang, where original pipework and tapware are reaching the end of their life.

Gold Coast plumbing repairs
Hot water systems for Gold Coast homes: electric, gas continuous-flow, heat pump and solar side by side

Hot water systems

No hot water, a leaking tank or a dripping relief valve? We repair and replace electric, gas, heat pump and solar systems across the Gold Coast, with the tempering valve and compliance paperwork done properly. A photo of your unit's label usually lets us quote a like-for-like replacement without a site visit.

Hot water repairs and replacement

Electric hot water

The most common system in South East Queensland. We replace failed tanks with the right size for your household and your Tariff 31 or 33 off-peak supply, and organise the electrical connection. If you keep running out, we'll check whether it's a fault or simply a tank that's too small.

Electric hot water on the Gold Coast

Gas hot water

Continuous-flow and storage gas water heaters from Rinnai, Rheem and others, on natural gas or LPG. We size continuous-flow units by litres per minute, check that your meter and pipework can supply them, and supply a gas compliance certificate on every installation.

Heat pump hot water

A heat pump uses a fraction of the electricity of a standard electric tank and suits the Gold Coast climate. We size it, place it with noise and airflow in mind, and apply the federal STC discount where the system is eligible. With rooftop solar, it can run on your own power.

Solar hot water collector panels and tank on a tiled Gold Coast roof

Solar hot water

Many Gold Coast roofs carry solar systems installed 15 to 25 years ago. We diagnose boosters, valves, collectors and tanks before recommending a repair, and install new systems such as Solahart, compared honestly against a heat pump so you can choose what suits your roof.

Gas fitter's pressure gauge on a residential gas meter and copper gas line, Gold Coast

Gas fitting

Gas cooktops, ovens and freestanding cookers, BBQ bayonets, outdoor kitchens, heaters, pool heaters and gas line extensions. Every installation is tested and comes with a compliance certificate. If you smell gas, leave the area and call your distributor's emergency line first.

Leak detection on the Gold Coast: thermal imaging camera aimed at an interior wall

Leak detection

Meter moving with every tap off, a high water bill or a damp wall? We use pressure isolation, thermal imaging and moisture mapping to narrow down concealed leaks before anything is opened up, and tell you how confident we are in the finding. Written reports are available by arrangement.

Drainage

We clear blocked sewer and stormwater drains, then use a CCTV drain camera where it helps to find out why: tree roots in old clay pipes, cracks, displaced joints or silt. You can have the footage, and a plain-English summary of what the camera did and didn't show.

Blocked drains and CCTV inspections
Plumbing maintenance tools for Gold Coast rentals and body corporates in a foam-lined case

Maintenance

One-off and recurring plumbing maintenance for homeowners, property managers and body corporates, with photos and notes after every visit. We can check water-efficiency compliance for Queensland rentals, fix the small things before they grow, and plan hot water replacements across a block.

Questions

Plumbing services FAQs

Do you do all of these services yourselves?

Yes. Plumbing, drainage, gas fitting and hot water are all within our licences. Where part of a job is electrical, such as connecting an electric or heat pump water heater, it is done by an appropriately licensed electrician.

Which Gold Coast suburbs do you service?

Suburbs within about 30 minutes of our Parkwood base, from Ormeau to Currumbin. See the service areas page for the full list.

Do you publish prices?

No. Every job is quoted for the property, and you get the price before work starts. A photo of the problem or your hot water unit's label often lets us quote without a visit.
