Plumber Sefton

When plumbing issues disrupt your Sefton home or business, you need clear answers and a fixed price before work starts. Fixed Today Plumbing provides upfront quotes with no surprise charges once we've assessed the problem onsite and confirmed what's involved. The quote you receive is the price you pay, and you can decide whether to proceed once scope and cost are clear.

Our technicians are licensed and adequately insured plumbers in NSW, with police and background checks completed as part of our hiring process. They arrive in uniform, confirm their identity, and explain what they're doing before starting work. In occupied homes, we use protective coverings on floors where needed and clean up the work area before leaving, so the space is left tidy.

From the first call, we confirm urgency and allocate the nearest available technician from our West Sydney hub. Urgent jobs are dispatched immediately, and we provide ETA updates where possible so you're not left waiting without information. For non-urgent work, we can schedule around your availability and access requirements, including strata rules or restricted parking where disclosed.

All plumbing and gas work in NSW must be performed by a licensed tradesperson to meet safety and compliance standards. Fixed Today Plumbing holds NSW Licence 305428C, covering plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting, and all attending technicians are individually licensed. We maintain current Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance, which protects you if accidental damage occurs during work or if a workplace injury happens onsite.

Public Liability insurance covers accidental property damage caused during the job, such as an unintended pipe puncture or fixture damage during a repair. Workers Compensation protects you from liability related to workplace injuries. These are not just compliance boxes; they're practical protections that matter if something goes wrong.

Work is completed to Australian Standards for plumbing and gas installations, and where required by regulation, compliance documentation is provided for regulated work such as gas fitting or backflow prevention. We test and verify outcomes before leaving, confirming flow, pressure, or function depending on the type of work completed, and explain what was done and what to expect going forward.

Blocked drains in Sefton properties typically involve kitchen waste buildup, bathroom hair and soap accumulation, or external line obstructions caused by tree roots or collapsed sections. We locate the blockage using CCTV drain cameras, which provide a visual inspection of the pipe interior and reveal the restriction type, depth, and pipe condition without excavation.

Once the blockage is identified, we clear it using high-pressure water jetting, which fires water at controlled pressure to break up debris and scour pipe walls. This method works for grease, root intrusion, and sediment buildup in most residential drain materials. If the camera inspection shows structural damage such as a collapsed section or severe root penetration, we explain the options, which may include pipe relining or excavation and replacement, and provide a fixed quote once scope is clarified.

After clearing, we verify flow restoration and explain what caused the blockage and whether ongoing maintenance or further investigation is recommended. For recurring issues, we can assess the broader drainage system to identify contributing factors such as gradient problems or external root access points.

Roof and gutter plumbing involves the components that collect and direct stormwater away from your property, including gutters, downpipes, valleys, and box gutters. Leaks, blockages, or poor drainage can lead to water damage inside the property or foundation issues if water pools near the building.

We inspect the impacted area to identify whether the issue is a blockage, a corroded section, poor fall causing water to pool, or damage from weather or debris impact. Blockages are cleared, corroded sections are replaced, and where redesign is needed to improve drainage, we explain the options and quote accordingly.

Roof plumbing work must meet Australian Standards for stormwater drainage, and in some cases, council approval may be required for modifications that affect stormwater flow. We clarify compliance requirements during the quoting stage and handle documentation where needed.

Toilet faults commonly present as constant running water, weak or incomplete flushing, leaks at the base, or blockages that won't clear with a plunger. We diagnose the issue by inspecting the cistern mechanism, testing the flush valve and fill valve, checking for cracks in the bowl or cistern, and confirming that the waste outlet is clear.

Repairs often involve replacing the flapper or flush valve if the cistern won't stop filling, adjusting or replacing the fill valve if water level is incorrect, re-sealing the pan to the floor if leaks are present at the base, or clearing blockages in the trap or waste line. Where the toilet itself is cracked or outdated, replacement may be the more reliable solution.

Toilet installations include removing the old unit, checking that the waste outlet is correctly positioned and sealed, installing the new toilet and cistern, connecting water supply, and testing flush function and seals under pressure. We confirm the installation meets Australian Standards for water efficiency and provide warranty documentation covering both the fixture and our installation work.

A broken pipe or hidden leak requires urgent attention to stop water damage and prevent mould growth or structural deterioration. Active leaks are stressful, and the priority is isolating water supply to the affected section, locating the source of the leak, and making the area safe while a permanent repair is arranged.

We use electronic leak detection equipment including ultrasonic listening devices and thermal imaging to locate hidden leaks behind walls, under floors, or in slabs without invasive demolition. Once the leak is pinpointed, we access the pipe, assess whether a section replacement or full re-pipe is needed, and provide a fixed quote before proceeding with the repair.

Burst pipe repairs are often needed urgently, and we dispatch immediately for active flooding situations. The repair may involve cutting out the damaged section and installing a new length of pipe, or in cases of widespread corrosion, re-piping a larger section to prevent repeat failures. We test the repair under full pressure and verify no additional leaks are present before restoring water and cleaning up the work area.

Plumbing emergencies include burst pipes actively flooding your property, gas leakages posing an immediate safety risk, sewage backups into living areas, total loss of water supply, or complete hot water unit failure in cold weather. For these situations, Fixed Today Plumbing operates 24/7 with immediate dispatch of the nearest available duly licensed NSW plumber from our West Sydney hub.

When you call with an emergency, we confirm the nature of the issue and provide immediate safety guidance if needed, such as isolating water or gas supply. Urgent jobs are prioritized and dispatched first, and we provide an ETA based on current location and traffic conditions. If temporary containment is possible, we explain the short-term steps to reduce damage while the plumber is on the way, without asking you to diagnose or repair the fault yourself.

Emergency work is quoted onsite once the immediate problem is contained and we've assessed the full extent of the issue. Where temporary repairs are made to stop flooding or isolate a dangerous situation, we explain what permanent work is needed and provide a fixed quote for completion. All emergency plumbing work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and we test the repair to confirm it's holding under normal operating conditions before leaving the site.

Strata plumbing requires clear communication, understanding of common property versus lot owner responsibility, and documentation suitable for strata managers and owners corporations. Fixed Today Plumbing works with strata properties across Sefton, handling both individual unit issues and common property maintenance and repairs.

For individual unit work, we coordinate access with tenants or owners and provide invoices and job completion reports suitable for strata records. For common property issues such as shared drainage blockages, communal hot water service systems, or external pipe leaks, we liaise with the strata manager to confirm scope and approval before proceeding, and provide detailed documentation of work completed and compliance where required.

Common strata plumbing work includes blocked main sewer lines affecting multiple units, leaking stormwater systems, failed pumps in basement drainage, shared hot water system repairs, and emergency repairs to broken pipes in common areas. We clarify responsibility boundaries during the initial assessment and confirm who is paying before work starts to avoid disputes over billing.
