Repairs and Renovations Around the House
The first half of our general plumbing work is the stuff inside the house, from a weeping tap to a full room refit. Each page below runs through the work in detail:
Residential Plumbing
Repairs, maintenance and whole-of-house work for the detached homes that dominate this suburb, with the common faults of fibro, weatherboard and brick-veneer cottages kept firmly in mind on every single visit.
Bathroom Plumbing
Showers, baths, vanities and the pipework behind them, from a leaking shower base or a dripping mixer through to a full bathroom renovation with new drainage and a complete rough-in.
Kitchen Plumbing
Sinks, mixers, dishwashers and the under-sink plumbing that cops the most abuse in any kitchen, whether that is a slow drain, a weeping mixer or a full refit before new cabinets go in.
Commercial Plumbing
Work for the shops, clinics and school buildings along the highway frontage, where a plumbing fault costs trading hours rather than comfort and a fast, tidy fix is what the tenancy actually needs.
Fittings, Meters and the Hidden Faults
The second half of the work is less visible: the fittings that wear out, the leaks that hide, and the connections between your place and the mains.
Toilet Replacement
When a cistern keeps running or a pan is cracked past saving, a straight swap often costs less than a third repair in the same year, and it stops the water waste.
Leak Detection
The slow, hidden leaks that have not blown yet get found before they turn into a rebuild, using listening gear, meter testing and moisture tracing rather than guesswork.
Water Meter Installation
New meters, relocated meters and the control valves that let you shut the water off in a hurry, fitted and tested to Hunter Water's requirements so the connection passes inspection first time.
Dishwasher Installation
A new dishwasher plumbed in properly, with the drain and supply connected and checked so the first cycle finishes where it should instead of spreading across the kitchen floor at midnight.
Gas Fitting Gateshead
Gas is licensed plumbing work, and this suburb has more of it than you might expect. Postwar homes here were converted to gas decades ago, and some still hide original braided-cotton-sealed joints and undersized supply runs behind the meter. The gas fitting page covers appliance connections, fault finding and upgrades to those older runs.
What This Hub Covers
General plumbing is the wide net, so a few jobs live on their own pages. Water moving fast where it should not be belongs with the emergency plumbing hub.
Water going down slowly belongs with the drainage team. Anything involving a tank lives in the hot water hub. Everything else, the repairs, the refits, the fittings and the gas, is the work on this page and its children.
Why the Pipes Here Have Their Own Story
A single build, ageing together.
One sewer, one clock.
A patchwork of eras.
At the last census the average household sat at 2.5 people across mostly detached houses, and nearly every one of those houses carries its own water service, its own sewer line and its own version of that patchwork.
We diagnose before we quote, because the fix for a 1965 cottage and the fix for an infill build are rarely the same fix.

Straight Answers About General Plumbing
Do you take on small jobs, or only big renovations?
Small jobs are most of what we do. A dripping tap, a running cistern or a washer swap is never too small, and every job gets the $0 call out.
My place still has galvanised water pipes. Do they need replacing?
Not automatically, though age catches them. The galvanised services from the 1964 to 1967 Gateshead West build narrow with rust, so fading flow is worth checking before it lets go.
Can you handle gas work as well as water?
Yes. Gas fitting sits squarely inside our licensed work, covering appliance connections, faults behind the meter and the older converted fittings some postwar homes here still hide.
I rent. Can I call you out, or does my landlord have to?
You can call, and plenty of jobs here start with a renter noticing the problem. We deal with you on the spot and put the written quote to your property manager or landlord.
How do I know a leak is serious enough to call about?
Water where it has no business being is worth a call. A meter turning with every tap off, a spreading damp patch or a rising water bill means get eyes on it early.
What happens if something goes wrong after you've finished?
If something isn't up to standard, we come back and make it right, no questions asked. That applies to every job from a washer swap to a full bathroom rough-in, without exception.
