Plumber in Carlton

Fixed Today Plumbing handles domestic and commercial plumbing in Carlton NSW 2218, including urgent repairs and planned maintenance. The service starts with an onsite assessment to confirm the scope, then you receive a fixed-fee quote before work begins. This covers typical jobs where the problem area is accessible; if testing shows a larger fault or more than one issue, the options are explained and quoted once the scope is confirmed onsite.

The usual sequence is simple and transparent. We use specialised tools where needed, including CCTV check equipment and electronic ultrasonic leak detection, to find the cause without guessing. Then we provide fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour). Work is completed to meet Australian Standards, followed by testing and cleanup prior to leaving.

From similar work in the St George area, a pattern we notice is that many "small" plumbing problems are actually caused by a hidden leak, a partial blockage, or a failed valve that has been getting worse for weeks. That is why the initial assessment matters. It stops money being spent on the wrong fix.

Fixed Today Plumbing can help with common Carlton plumbing requests such as:

• Blocked drains and sewer issues (clearing, camera inspection, repairs)
• Burst pipes and leak location, including concealed leaks
• Hot water system installation and repair (gas, electric, solar)
• Toilet, tap and shower repairs inside the home
• Commercial plumbing for shops, offices, and property managers

We are available around the clock, 7 days a week for emergencies, and same-day service is available for standard enquiries. Immediate dispatch for emergencies means urgent jobs are sent out first and the nearest available technician is allocated from our local dispatch points across Sydney. We also provide clear arrival communication, including ETA updates where possible.

Cost depends on the confirmed scope, access to the pipework or fixture, the parts required, and whether the job is urgent or after-hours. Quotes are valid for one month from the date issued, so you have time to make a decision once the findings are clear. No hidden costs is built into the quoting process, because inclusions and exclusions are confirmed before you approve the work.

If you want to book, a brief call is enough to match the right licensed and insured plumbing technician to the job. You do not need to diagnose it, just describe what is happening and any access constraints at the Carlton property.

Burst and leaking pipes in Carlton need urgent attention because water can damage floors, walls and cabinetry quickly. Fixed Today Plumbing attends active leaks and broken pipes with immediate dispatch for emergencies, then locates the source and completes the most suitable repair once the scope is agreed. This includes typical internal pipe leaks and visible bursts; if the leak is concealed or tied to multiple faults, options are explained and quoted after diagnosis.

Active leaks are stressful. The priority is getting a licensed plumbing specialist onsite to make it safe and stop further damage, then confirm what failed and why. In practice, the first sign we see is often water staining or a sudden drop in pressure, even when the actual break is hidden behind a wall or under a slab.

Fixed Today Plumbing uses specialised leak detection methods, including electronic ultrasonic leak detection, to reduce unnecessary damage when tracing hidden bursts. Where practical, repairs are kept minimally invasive, and we take reasonable care around finished surfaces such as tiled bathrooms, timber floors, and stone benchtops.

Pricing depends on access, the repair method required, and whether pipe sections need replacement. You receive a flat-rate quote before work begins, and the work is backed by Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship.

Water filter installation in Carlton is usually a straightforward way to improve taste and reduce sediment, but the right setup depends on where it will be fitted and the flow rate needed. Fixed Today Plumbing installs, repairs, and replaces water filtration systems once the plumbing layout is checked onsite. This covers common under-sink and whole-home filter installs where there is suitable access; if pipework changes are required, the scope is confirmed before quoting.

In plumbing, filtration choices are influenced by practical constraints, not just preference. Cabinet space, existing isolation valves, and whether the property is a rental can all change what is sensible to install. That is why the first visit focuses on confirming the connection points and the safest location for the unit.

After confirming the scope, you receive a flat-rate quote before we start. Work areas are protected with drop sheets or covers where needed, and the area is cleaned up once installation is complete.

Roof and gutter leaks in Carlton should be assessed early because water entry can lead to ceiling damage and mould if it continues. Fixed Today Plumbing completes roof and gutter repairs by locating where water is getting in, then repairing or replacing the affected components once the scope is finalised. This covers many common roof plumbing issues and blocked gutters; if the leak source is not immediately visible, further inspection is explained before any additional work proceeds.

A pattern we notice is that a small overflow during heavy rain is often caused by a partial blockage, not a "big" roof failure. The fix is usually about restoring correct flow paths and making sure water is directed away from the building, rather than patching random areas.

Following our standard diagnose-and-quote approach, we confirm the source, provide a flat-rate quote, then complete the repair and check the result where practical. Work areas are kept tidy, and debris generated by the work is removed.

Toilet repairs in Carlton can usually be completed quickly once it is clear whether the issue is a blockage, a leaking cistern, or a faulty flushing component. Fixed Today Plumbing diagnoses toilet faults onsite and provides a fixed-price quote before repairs begin. This covers many common toilet problems in homes and businesses; if the issue is caused by a broader drainage blockage, the repair plan changes and the options are explained after inspection.

The practical risk with toilet faults is disruption and hygiene issues, especially if the toilet is backing up or leaking onto the floor. In practice, we often see problems that look like a simple clog but are actually caused by a restriction further down the line.

Once diagnosed and quoted, repairs may involve clearing the blockage, replacing worn internal parts, or correcting the connection point. Before leaving, we verify that the toilet is flushing correctly and check for leaks.

Pipe relining is a no-dig repair method used when a drain or sewer pipe is cracked, leaking, or repeatedly blocked, but still structurally suitable for a liner. Fixed Today Plumbing offers trenchless drain relining in Carlton as an option after inspection confirms the pipe condition and access points. This can be suitable where digging would be disruptive; if the pipe has collapsed, other repair methods are discussed after the assessment.

Traditional pipe repairs can involve excavation, which may damage paving, landscaping, or finished areas. In plumbing, relining is often chosen to reduce disruption because it creates a new pipe within the old one, using a resin liner that cures in place.

Once the inspection confirms relining is appropriate, the work is quoted upfront at a fixed price before starting. After completion, the line is tested and checked to confirm the repair has restored function.

Choosing a plumber in Carlton is mainly about reducing risk: confirming licensing, understanding what the quote includes, and knowing what happens if something needs follow-up. Fixed Today Plumbing is a family owned and operated plumbing company with over 15+ years of service in the Sydney region, offering fixed, upfront pricing (priced by the job, not by the hour) and 24/7 Emergency support. If inspection changes the scope, options are explained and quoted before any additional work proceeds.

Here are practical signals that matter on real jobs:

• Licensing and accountability: All attending technicians are licensed and properly insured plumbers in NSW, and Fixed Today Plumbing is fully licensed in NSW for Plumbing, Drainage, and Gas Fitting.
• Insurance that protects you: The business is adequately insured, with current insurance policies maintained (Public Liability and Workers Compensation).
• Clear pricing rules: Fixed Price Guarantee (the price quoted is the price paid), no hidden costs, and quotes are valid for one month from the date issued.
• Workmanship warranty: Lifetime Labour Warranty on all workmanship, plus standard manufacturer warranties on hardware and appliances.

In Carlton, access can be the part that slows everything down, not the actual plumbing. If the property has strata rules, restricted parking, or a specific entry process, we can work around those constraints when they are disclosed at booking. We can also coordinate with property managers, strata, or tenants for access.

For personal safety and extra reassurance, staff identity is confirmed on arrival and technicians can identify themselves before entry. Police checks are completed for technicians, and technicians are uniform-wearing, respectful, and committed to leaving work areas clean/tidy, including using drop sheets or protective covers where needed.

If you are deciding whether to book, a call can confirm whether your situation is urgent or suitable for same-day service. Once onsite, we explain what we are doing before starting, confirm inclusions and exclusions in the quote, and only proceed after you approve the fixed price.
