Do you charge a call-out fee for emergency plumbing in Gledswood Hills?
Call-out fee policy varies by service area and job type. For Gledswood Hills, confirm the call-out fee status when booking. Many service areas have no call-out fee; where a fee applies, it is disclosed upfront and typically deducted from the total job cost if you proceed with the quoted work.
How quickly can you reach Gledswood Hills for an emergency?
We dispatch from Western Sydney hubs, reaching most Gledswood Hills properties within typical response windows depending on current job queue and traffic. Urgent jobs are sent out first. An ETA is provided when you book, with updates if conditions change. For immediate safety risks such as active flooding or gas leaks, we prioritise dispatch.
What counts as an urgent plumbing issue?
A plumbing emergency involves immediate risk of property damage, safety hazards, or loss of essential services. This includes burst pipes actively flooding, gas leakages causing odour or safety concern, sewage backup from blocked drains, and total hot water failure affecting vulnerable occupants during cold weather. Inconvenient faults that aren't causing immediate damage can usually wait for standard booking.
Do you provide upfront pricing for emergency work?
Yes. Once the plumber assesses the fault onsite and confirms what's involved, a flat-rate quote is provided before any work starts. The price quoted is the price paid, with no hourly rates or surprise costs at the end. If inspection reveals additional issues beyond the original scope, those are explained and quoted separately before proceeding.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
All attending plumbers hold current NSW licences for plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting (Licence 305428C). We carry Public Liability insurance, which protects you if accidental property damage occurs during work, and Workers Compensation insurance, which covers workplace injuries on your property. All technicians complete police and background checks.
What should I do if a pipe bursts while waiting for the plumber?
Turn off the water at the main meter if you can safely access it, move belongings away from the affected area, and place towels or buckets to contain water where possible. Avoid operating electrical switches near the leak. We can provide brief safety guidance by phone while the plumber is on the way to help you limit damage until arrival.
Do you work on weekends and public holidays?
Yes. We operate 24/7 including weekends and public holidays. Emergency callouts are dispatched immediately regardless of the time or day. After-hours pricing is the same as daytime work once scope is clarified; the fixed quote includes any after-hours attendance without separate surcharges.
Can you provide documentation for insurance claims?
Yes. We provide detailed invoices, photos of the fault and completed work, and written descriptions of the issue and repair suitable for insurance claims and landlord records. For strata properties, we can provide documentation formatted for strata maintenance logs and compliance records.

Do you offer a warranty on emergency repairs?
