What does immediate dispatch actually mean for Meadowbank 2114?
Immediate dispatch means the job is sent out as soon as you book, with the nearest available technician allocated from our West Sydney hub. An ETA is provided when you call, and arrival timing depends on current bookings, distance, and traffic conditions at that time.
How much do emergency plumbing repairs cost in Meadowbank?
Cost depends on the fault type, access difficulty, parts required, and whether the work is after-hours. We assess the situation onsite, confirm the scope, then provide a fixed-price quote before starting. No hidden fees, the price quoted is the price you pay. Confirm the call-out fee status for your area when you book.
Do you charge a call-out fee for Meadowbank?
Call-out fees vary by service area. Many suburbs have no call-out fee, but it's area-specific. Confirm the call-out policy for Meadowbank 2114 when you book by calling 1800 349 338, and we'll let you know the exact arrangement before dispatch.
What's covered by your Lifetime Labour Warranty?
Our Lifetime Labour Warranty covers workmanship on all plumbing installations and repairs we complete. If a fault develops due to how we performed the work, we return and fix it at no charge. Manufacturer warranties cover hardware and appliances separately. The warranty provides accountability, we stand by the work we do.
What does comprehensively insured actually protect me from?
We carry Public Liability insurance, which protects you if accidental property damage occurs during our work. We also carry Workers Compensation, which provides protection related to workplace injuries on the job. Both policies are current and verifiable.
Can I get a quote over the phone without a site visit?
For simple jobs like tap washer replacements, we can provide an indicative price over the phone. For most repairs, we need to see the fault onsite to confirm the scope and provide an accurate fixed-price quote. The onsite assessment is how we avoid underquoting, then surprising you with a higher price once work has started.
What should I do if I smell gas while waiting for the plumber?
Evacuate immediately, avoid operating any electrical switches or flames, and call us from outside the property on 1800 349 338. Do not attempt to locate the leak yourself. We'll dispatch a licensed gas fitter urgently to isolate the supply and make the situation safe.
How long does a typical drain blockage repair take?
Simple blockages in accessible sections often clear within an hour using high-pressure jetting. If camera inspection reveals structural damage requiring drain relining or excavation, the timeline extends and we explain the process and revised quote before proceeding. Timeframe depends on what the camera shows.
Do your plumbers have police checks and background checks?
Yes. All our technicians undergo police checks and background checks before attending jobs. They arrive in uniform, carry identification, and can confirm their identity at the door. We take safety seriously, especially when entering occupied homes.
What happens if the problem is more complex than initially thought?
If onsite inspection reveals additional scope, such as structural pipe damage requiring excavation instead of simple clearing, we stop, explain the findings, provide a revised fixed-fee quote for the additional work, and confirm whether you want to proceed. You decide after scope is confirmed on site, not after the work is finished.
