Plumber The Rocks

Fixed Today Plumbing has serviced The Rocks properties since 2010, covering residential units, commercial hospitality premises, and strata buildings across the precinct. The area's heritage building stock means we often work with older pipe materials and retrofit modern fixtures into period structures, requiring a careful approach to preserve finishes and meet heritage overlay requirements where they apply. Our experience includes sandstone-foundation properties, terrace houses with shared walls, and mixed-use buildings where plumbing lines often serve both commercial and domestic spaces.

We assess each job onsite to confirm the impacted area, existing pipework material, and any access constraints before quoting. The Rocks has limited street parking and many buildings with rear or side-lane access only, so we coordinate arrival around loading zones and confirm vehicle access when scheduling. Our technicians arrive with drop sheets, boot covers, and protective floor coverings to safeguard heritage tiles, timber floors, and stone benchtops during work.

Over 15 years across Sydney, we've built working relationships with strata managers, hospitality operators, and property owners who value transparent pricing and documentation. Our reputation rests on completing the scope as quoted, explaining findings in plain English, and leaving the work area clean. You're protected by comprehensive Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance, and all workmanship is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty.

Blocked drains in The Rocks typically involve older terracotta or cast iron lines, which are common in properties built during the area's early development period. Tree root intrusion is a frequent cause where established street trees or courtyard plantings are present, as roots seek moisture through microscopic cracks in aging pipe joints. Kitchen lines in hospitality premises often experience grease buildup, which solidifies and narrows the pipe over time.

We use high-definition CCTV inspection equipment to locate the blockage and identify the cause, whether it's roots, grease, or collapsed pipe sections. Once diagnosed, we clear the obstruction using high-pressure water jetting, which scours debris from pipe walls and restores near-full flow capacity. If inspection reveals structural damage beyond a simple blockage, we explain relining or excavation options and confirm the additional scope before proceeding.

Access to external drainage lines in The Rocks can be complicated by narrow rear lanes, shared courtyard spaces, or heritage paving that cannot be disturbed without council approval. We confirm access constraints during booking and bring equipment sized appropriately for the site. The goal is to restore function with minimal disruption and prevent recurrence through proper clearance. Reach us on 1800 349 338 to arrange clogged drain assessment and clearance.

Roof and gutter leaks in The Rocks often trace back to heritage roofing materials, deteriorated flashings, or blocked gutter valleys where debris accumulates. Many buildings in the precinct have slate or terracotta tile roofs with original lead or copper flashings, which can develop gaps as the building settles over time. Gutters in narrow lanes or rear courtyards can be difficult to access without ladders or elevated platforms.

We start by locating the leak source using visual inspection and, where necessary, water testing to confirm the entry point. Common issues include cracked tiles, separated flashing seams, or gutter joints that have pulled apart. Repairs are completed using materials appropriate to the roof type and in compliance with heritage requirements where overlays apply. If the damage is extensive or structural issues are present, we explain the scope clearly and confirm pricing before additional work proceeds.

Regular gutter cleaning prevents water overflow and reduces the risk of internal ceiling damage. In strata buildings, gutter maintenance is typically the responsibility of the Owners Corporation, and we can provide documentation suitable for maintenance logs. For urgent leak testing or scheduled gutter servicing, contact us on 1800 349 338.

When a toilet keeps running after flushing, won't refill properly, or develops a leak at the base, the usual causes are a faulty flush valve, worn fill valve, or deteriorated cistern seal. We diagnose the issue by inspecting the cistern mechanism, testing the flush cycle, and checking for visible water pooling around the base or supply line connections.

Most repairs involve replacing the failed component with a quality part matched to the cistern model. If the toilet pan itself is cracked or the floor flange is damaged, replacement becomes the more reliable option. We explain what we've found and provide a fixed-price quote before starting the repair or replacement. In strata buildings or commercial hospitality premises in The Rocks, we coordinate access around occupancy and operating hours to minimise disruption.

Once the repair is complete, we test the flush mechanism through multiple cycles to confirm proper refill, shutoff, and seal function. Our work is backed by the Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. If your toilet is wasting water, making constant noise, or not flushing effectively, arrange an assessment by calling 1800 349 338.

A broken pipe requires immediate action to stop water flow and prevent property damage. If you can safely access the water meter or isolation valve, turning it off will reduce damage while the plumber is dispatched. Do not attempt to repair the pipe yourself, as improper fixes can create further leaks or compromise structural integrity.

We locate the burst section using electronic leak detection where the pipe is concealed, then isolate the affected area and assess the damage. Older properties in The Rocks often have galvanised steel or lead pipes that corrode over time, and a burst in one section can indicate broader deterioration. We explain what the inspection reveals and confirm whether a patch repair or section replacement is the more durable approach before quoting the work.

After the repair is completed, we test the system under normal operating pressure to confirm there are no residual leaks and verify that flow and pressure have been restored. The repair is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. For urgent broken pipe or leaking pipe dispatch, call 1800 349 338 immediately.

General plumbing services in The Rocks cover fixture installations, tap replacements, bathroom and kitchen upgrades, TMV installations, backflow prevention devices, and routine maintenance for residential and commercial properties. We handle both scheduled work and reactive repairs, providing the same fixed-price quoting process and transparent communication regardless of job size.

Our general plumbing work includes diagnosing faults, confirming scope onsite, and explaining the recommended approach before quoting. We use quality materials matched to Australian Standards and manufacturer specifications, and all installations are tested for correct operation prior to leaving. In heritage buildings, we take care around period fixtures, exposed brickwork, and heritage tiles to avoid accidental damage during work.

Whether you need a single tap replaced, a bathroom renovated, or ongoing maintenance for a commercial hospitality venue, we provide the same level of service: licensed technicians, upfront pricing, and work backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship. Call 1800 349 338 to arrange assessment and quoting.

Commercial plumbing services in The Rocks covers hospitality venues, retail premises, office buildings, galleries, and mixed-use developments across the precinct. These properties often have higher demand on drainage systems, commercial-grade hot water requirements, and grease trap maintenance obligations for food service operators.

We schedule work around operating hours to minimise business disruption, and can coordinate with property managers or facility teams for access to plant rooms, rooftop equipment, or basement services. Our commercial services include blocked drain clearance, hot water system repairs and installations, gas appliance servicing, backflow prevention testing, and compliance documentation where required by local regulations or lease agreements.

We understand that downtime affects revenue, so our approach prioritises rapid diagnosis, clear scope confirmation, and efficient completion. All work meets applicable Australian Standards and local building codes, and we provide documentation suitable for compliance records and insurance purposes.
