Gaythorne is a compact railway suburb of just under a square kilometre, with unit blocks now sitting beside pre-1947 cottages. That mix shapes what turns up in the pipes, and we plan each job around the era of the building in front of us.
We're available 24/7, and there's no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays.

Our work splits along the parts of your property, so start where the problem is. Each section below has a page of its own with the detail.

Home plumbing is everything that serves your house or unit: the water supply, the gas lines and every fixture from the meters to the last tap. In this suburb, the age of a building sets most of the faults we find.
The pre-1947 cottages in the pockets around Gaythorne Road were plumbed before copper was standard. Any that have escaped a renovation can still run galvanised supply pipe, which scales up inside and chokes flow to the tap furthest from the meter.
At the other end, strata blocks stack many flats onto common risers, flexi hoses and shut-off valves, so one low-grade fitting can soak several neighbours at once. That's why we treat a split hose as urgent every time.
Between the two sit ageing tanks in laundry nooks and service cupboards, and the hot water page covers that side of things in full. The same era left short runs of glazed clay drain in the older streets, and the blocked drains page takes the drain side.
The split is simple: repairs are one category, installs are another. Mending a broken pipe, or repairing or replacing a fitting, is classed as minor work. Installing a new fixture, or shifting one that's already there, is notifiable work that finishes with a Form 4.
Say your kitchen mixer dies. A like-for-like swap is minor work: a licensed plumber does it, and no paperwork follows. A whole new sink where there wasn't one is notifiable: we lodge the Form 4 with the QBCC inside ten business days of completion, and the owner gets a copy.
minor work, done by a licensed plumber, no permit and no Form 4.
notifiable, lodged with the QBCC, with a copy kept for the owner.
permit work, which needs council approval the plumber applies for before starting.
You can check any of this yourself. The QBCC's online registers show whether a Form 4 has been registered for a property, and whether the tradie who did the work was licensed to. If work turns out defective or unlicensed, or the Form 4 never arrives, you can complain to the QBCC through its online plumbing and drainage form.
A burst pipe, a gas smell, water over a floor, or no water or gas anywhere in the place: those faults need a call now, not a booking for Thursday. Everything else can sit until a booked slot.
A dripping shower head, a slow drain or a running cistern wastes water but won't drown anyone, and the toilet repairs page shows which cistern faults are which. The urgent side of our work breaks down along these lines:
water you can't switch off at a fixture.
a damp patch or a bill that has jumped, traced to its source.
any smell of gas, handled by a licensed gasfitter.
the faults above plus a broken toilet system.
Landlords take note: Queensland tenancy law treats gas leaks, burst water services, serious flooding and broken or blocked toilets as emergency repairs. Tenants can't wait on those, and neither should you.
A plumbing price turns on four things: the fault, the parts, how hard the fixture is to reach, and the time spent on site. Nothing else should land on the bill as a surprise.
A written quote should name the scope, the parts and the labour, so two quotes can be weighed line by line. Ours does, and you approve it before we pick up a tool. Here's what a comparable quote covers:
every fault to be fixed, and every fixture touched, named in full.
what's being supplied, not just a line that says "materials".
the work charged as a figure you can read.
anything you'll need someone else for, said up front.
If a quote can't be read that way, ask for plain words before you agree. The turn off your water guide is also worth a look before any job that touches your supply.

Our service area spreads across Brisbane's north, with Gaythorne close to the middle of our run. The areas we cover page lists every suburb, and two neighbours have pages of their own.
Area-level figures put population growth at 7.6% over the five years to 2025, and 51 new dwellings were approved in 2021-22 alone, so the unit blocks keep coming. New pipe is good pipe; we mostly see the old stock first.
Check the licence first. The QBCC's online registers let you confirm a plumber is licensed and see whether a Form 4 was lodged for your address. Then ask for the scope, the parts and the labour in writing before any work starts.
Compare two quotes against the same scope of work. Ask each tradie to explain every line, so you can see what's parts and what's labour. A quote you can't read line by line is a quote you can't compare.
Urban Utilities maintains the street mains and the sewer. The pipes on the property side of the meter, from the meter to your house and every fitting beyond, are yours as the owner.
Plenty. The pre-1947 cottages around Gaythorne Road can still carry galvanised supply pipe that scales up and chokes flow. Anything plumbed before 1989 may also carry lead-based solder on its copper joints.
The full run, by part of the property. That covers taps and toilets, water pipes, gas fitting, bathrooms, kitchens and laundries. Hot water and blocked drains each get a page to themselves.
A licensed gasfitter, and nobody else. Gas systems, from the pipework to the appliances, are licensed work in Queensland. Ask to see the gas work licence before anyone starts.
