Sydney roof leak specialists

The roof plumbers who find leaks across Sydney every day

A leaking roof is rarely where the ceiling stain appears; water tracks along battens and beams before it drops. We arrive set up to diagnose, not guess: harness and roof ladders, a hose for flood testing, and a moisture meter to map the ceiling cavity, so we trace the leak to its real entry point before quoting a repair.

From a rusted-through valley iron dumping water into a Hornsby ceiling to perished flashing around a Coogee skylight and cracked ridge pointing on a federation terrace in Newtown, our licensed Sydney roof plumbers have chased down thousands of leaks the proper way; by testing the roof, finding the entry point and fixing the cause, not by smearing silicone over a stain and hoping it holds through the next storm.

Before vs After

What changes when a licensed roof plumber finds the leak properly?

A roof leak is one of the easiest jobs to bodge; and the most expensive when a smear of silicone hides the problem until the ceiling caves in. Here is exactly what shifts when a licensed Sydney roof plumber handles it instead of a handyman or a caulking gun.

Before

Silicone, DIY or a handyman

  • The visible symptom has no confirmed source
  • A repair is chosen before the cause is checked
  • Access or price changes are left unexplained
  • The same symptom returns without further testing
  • There is no clear handover record

After

Licensed Fixed Today repair

  • The fault is checked with a suitable diagnostic method
  • The likely cause and repair options are explained
  • The scope and price are approved before paid work
  • The result is tested before handover
  • Relevant invoice, warranty and compliance records are supplied
What you’ll actually get

The exact thread you’ll see on roof booking day

No marketing fluff. Every leaking roof customer gets a thread like this on the day; booked, plumber assigned, ETA, vehicle ID, knock at the door. You always know what’s next.

  1. Booked

    A real plumber assigned, in writing.

    Your 2-hour window, plumber name, vehicle and the exact job; confirmed by SMS within minutes. Not a queue, not a callback.

  2. Routed

    Live ETA, refreshed as they drive.

    Once your roof plumber leaves the depot the ETA SMS auto-refreshes. No need to call and ask whether they’re still coming.

  3. Warned

    5-minute heads-up at the door.

    We text when the plumber is 5 minutes away, including vehicle and plate so you know who’s knocking before you open the door.

  4. Honoured

    Late-fee waiver, automatic.

    Miss the window without warning and the call-out portion of your invoice is automatically waived. No claim form, no negotiation.

On-Time, Live

We turn up when we say we will; here is the proof

Every leaking roof job we attended today, with the booked window, the actual arrival time, and whether we hit it. We publish the misses too; and waive the call-out fee when we cause one.

Why licensing matters

Licensed plumber vs. unlicensed worker

Plumbing work in NSW must be carried out by a licensed plumber. It is not just a formality, licensing protects your home, your insurance, and your right to recourse if something goes wrong.

Licensed plumber

What you get

  • Work is insured and meets the National Plumbing Code
  • Compliance Certificate issued for every job
  • Home insurance and warranty stay valid
  • Statutory warranty backed by NSW Fair Trading
  • Clear path to dispute resolution if needed
Unlicensed worker

What you risk

  • Work may breach the NSW Plumbing and Drainage Act
  • No Compliance Certificate: issues at resale
  • Home insurance claims commonly denied
  • No statutory warranty on the work performed
  • Limited recourse: Fair Trading cannot assist
Our NSW Plumbing Licence 236784C Fixed Today Plumbing Pty Ltd

Most home insurance policies will not pay out for damage caused by unlicensed plumbing work. A burst hot water unit from a non-compliant install can void cover on the entire claim, often tens of thousands of dollars.

What Sydney says after we’ve stopped the leak

A leaking roof is a small emergency; a stained ceiling and a bucket on the floor every time it rains. These are real customers; ceiling leaks, storm damage, mystery drips; telling you what the experience was actually like.

Used Fixed Today for a stormwater drainage issue at our property. They did a camera inspection, showed me the footage, and explained the options clearly. The repair work was completed on schedule and they followed up a week later to check everything was flowing properly.

Solid work on our kitchen mixer tap replacement. The plumber suggested a better quality tap than what I originally picked and it’s been great. Fair pricing and tidy workmanship. Would recommend to neighbours.

★★★★☆

Good honest service. The plumber was upfront about what needed fixing versus what could wait. Appreciated that they didn’t try to upsell. Job was completed quickly and cleanly. Only reason for 4 stars is the initial wait time was a bit longer than quoted.

Ryan Patel Trustpilot
★★★★★

Called about a running toilet that was wasting water. They sent someone the same afternoon and it was sorted within an hour. Flat rate pricing, no call-out fee, and the plumber was friendly and knowledgeable. Exactly the kind of service you want.

Emergency call at midnight for a blocked drain backing up into our kitchen. The plumber arrived fast, was polite and efficient, and resolved the blockage quickly. No extra charges for the late hour which was a pleasant surprise. Will definitely use again for any plumbing issues.

Tree roots had completely blocked our sewer line. Fixed Today used their jet blaster to clear it and then patched the damaged section of pipe. They showed me exactly where the roots were getting in and gave me options to prevent it happening again. Top notch work.

Homeowner’s Handbook

How to stop a roof leak turning into a ceiling repair

A short editorial guide written by our senior roof plumbers. No fluff, no scare tactics; just the habits and checks that stop a roof leaking in the first place, and how to tell a real repair from a lazy smear of silicone.

Homeowner checks

The six habits that keep a roof watertight

  • Clear gutters and box gutters before storm season
  • Understand the real culprits, not just the stain
  • Never rely on a smear of silicone
  • Treat a recurring leak as a symptom, not bad luck
  • Don’t get up on a wet or steep roof yourself
  • Know what a proper roof leak repair looks like
Quote checklist

Walk-away signs on a roof leak job

  • They quote a fix without getting on the roof
  • The “repair” is a tube of silicone over a guess
  • No hose or flood testing to confirm the source
  • Recurring leak but no proper leak trace offered
  • Climbing a wet roof with no harness or safety gear
  • No workmanship warranty and no photo report
Trust check

Verify a plumber’s licence yourself. Service NSW lets anyone verify a plumber’s contractor licence in under a minute; and roof plumbing repairs legally require one. Bookmark the link: it’s the single most useful tool a homeowner has.
