Plumber in Woollahra

Fixed Today Plumbing handles the full range of domestic and commercial plumbing work across Woollahra, from emergency callouts to scheduled installations. This includes drainage repairs, hot water replacements, gas fitting, and general maintenance. If initial inspection reveals work beyond the quoted scope, we explain the options and confirm pricing before proceeding further.

Our technicians carry diagnostic tools including high-definition CCTV check equipment, electronic leak detectors, and high-pressure water jetters. The first visit typically involves locating the fault, confirming what's affected, and identifying any access constraints before providing a fixed-price quote. We test the repair and verify function before leaving.

When an emergency comes through, urgent jobs are dispatched first and the nearest available technician is allocated from our local Sydney hubs. You'll receive an ETA when booking, and we'll update you if delays occur. Parking and access can be tight in some Woollahra streets, so we confirm vehicle clearance and drop-sheet requirements before arriving to protect timber floors and finished surfaces.

We're correctly licensed in NSW (Licence 305428C) and carry Public Liability and Workers Compensation insurance. Public Liability covers accidental property damage during the work. Workers Compensation relates to workplace injuries. Both protect you as the property owner. All work is backed by our Lifetime Labour Warranty on workmanship, meaning if the repair itself fails, we'll return and fix it at no charge for labour.

For Woollahra properties with security-sensitive requirements or premium finishes, we provide clear arrival communication, wear boot covers where requested, and isolate the work area to reduce mess. Technicians can identify themselves before entry, and we explain what's being done before starting.

A drain blockage at a Woollahra property is typically cleared by locating the obstruction and removing it using high-pressure water jetting or mechanical tools, depending on what the blockage is made of and where it sits in the line. If CCTV check shows structural damage or root intrusion requiring pipe repair, we explain the options and provide a separate quote for that work.

What usually causes the blockage depends on the pipe age and what's been going down the drain. In kitchen lines, fats and oils solidify as they cool and trap food scraps, forming a dense plug. In older terracotta or clay sewer lines, tree roots enter through hairline cracks and expand over time, catching toilet paper and solid waste until flow stops completely.

Our process starts with a high-definition CCTV camera inspection to visually confirm what's blocking the line and where it's located. This avoids guesswork and ensures we use the right clearing method. For grease and organic buildup, hydro jetting scours the pipe walls and flushes debris to the main sewer. For solid objects or compacted waste, we use rotating mechanical cutters.

Once flow is restored, we run the camera again to verify the line is clear and check for any cracks, collapses, or root damage that could cause the blockage to return. If structural issues are found, we'll discuss pipe relining or excavation options, explain the cost difference, and let you decide how to proceed. The clearing itself is quoted and completed first.

If a drain is backing up or overflowing, stop using that fixture and any others connected to the same line. Call to arrange an assessment so we can confirm what's affected, locate the blockage, and restore flow before wastewater causes further mess or property damage.

Roof and gutter leak work in Woollahra address leaks, blockages, and structural faults that let stormwater enter the property or overflow during heavy rain. This covers re-sealing flashing, replacing damaged sections, clearing debris from valleys and downpipes, and re-pitching gutters where sagging prevents proper drainage. Structural roof repairs requiring a licensed roofer are referred out.

Sydney's storm season often exposes weak points in roof plumbing. Blocked gutters overflow and send water under roof tiles or into wall cavities. Corroded valley irons split and leak into ceilings. Downpipes clogged with leaves back up and flood at ground level. In older properties, original guttering may lack the capacity for today's intense downpours.

On first inspection, we check gutter fall and alignment, test downpipe flow, inspect flashing seals around chimneys and skylights, and look for rust, cracks, or movement in the roof plumbing. If the issue is a blockage, we clear it and flush the system. If components are corroded or damaged, we explain what needs replacing and provide a fixed-price quote before starting.

Repair work includes removing debris, re-sealing joints with appropriate sealant, replacing rusted sections with new material, and ensuring downpipes discharge correctly to stormwater drains. We test the system with water to confirm flow and check for leaks before finishing up.

If you're seeing water stains on ceilings after rain, or gutters overflowing during storms, arrange an inspection before the next heavy downpour causes internal water damage. We'll assess the roof plumbing, identify what's failed, and restore proper drainage to keep the property protected.

When a toilet at a Woollahra property keeps running, won't flush properly, or is leaking at the base, we diagnose whether the fault is within the cistern mechanism, the flush valve, the inlet valve, or the pan-to-floor seal, then replace the faulty component or the entire toilet suite if the porcelain is cracked. Most toilet faults are resolved with parts replacement rather than full toilet replacement.

A constantly running toilet wastes water and increases bills. The usual cause is a failing flush valve that doesn't seal after flushing, or an inlet valve that won't shut off once the cistern refills. Weak or incomplete flushing often traces to a blocked rim jet, low water level in the cistern, or a perished flapper. Leaks at the base indicate a failed wax ring or cracked pan, both of which need immediate attention to prevent water damaging the subfloor.

On inspection, we check the cistern internals for wear, test the flush valve seal, adjust or replace the inlet valve, and confirm the water level is correct. If the toilet is leaking at the floor, we check whether the pan is cracked or the seal has failed. For blockages, we use a closet auger or water jetting to clear the trap and waste line without damaging the porcelain.

Repairs include replacing flush and inlet valves, adjusting float heights, clearing blockages, re-sealing the pan to the floor with a new wax ring, and tightening or replacing cistern bolts. If the pan is cracked or the suite is obsolete and parts aren't available, we'll quote for a new toilet installation and explain the process before proceeding.

If your toilet is running constantly, flushing weakly, or leaking onto the floor, book an inspection before water waste or damage worsens. A quick assessment confirms what's failed and gets the toilet working reliably again.

A burst or leaking pipe is an emergency. We locate the fault using electronic leak detection or thermal imaging, isolate the water supply to stop flooding, then repair or replace the damaged section. If the leak has caused internal water damage, we'll explain what rectification is needed and whether your insurer should be notified before that work begins.

Pipes burst due to corrosion in older galvanised or copper lines, ground movement stressing rigid joints, freezing and expansion during cold snaps, or sudden pressure surges from water hammer. Leaks often start as pinhole corrosion that worsens until the pipe splits. Both cause property damage if not stopped quickly.

On arrival, we shut off the main water supply if it's still running, then use moisture meters, thermal imaging, or acoustic listening devices to pinpoint the leak location without unnecessary demolition. Once located, we assess whether the pipe can be repaired with a compression fitting or needs to be cut out and replaced with new pipework.

Repair work includes cutting out the damaged section, installing new pipe using appropriate joining method (soldered copper, compression fittings, or push-fit connections depending on the material and location), pressure testing the repair, then restoring water supply and checking for leaks at the repair point and throughout the system. We'll identify what caused the burst to help prevent recurrence.

If water is pooling on floors, dripping from ceilings, or you've lost water pressure suddenly, turn off the main supply at the meter and call immediately. We'll dispatch a licensed and insured plumbing technician to stop the leak, assess the damage, and restore safe water supply as quickly as possible.

General plumbing covers the routine maintenance, repairs, and installations that keep a property functional, including tap repairs, toilet adjustments, minor pipe leaks, appliance connections, and fixture replacements. If inspection reveals a larger issue like concealed pipe corrosion or drainage faults, we explain what's involved and provide a separate quote before expanding the scope.

Typical general plumbing work includes replacing tap washers and cartridges, fixing running toilets, installing new dishwashers or washing machines, repairing dripping overflow relief valves, clearing slow drains before they block completely, and replacing worn flexible hoses under sinks. We also handle fixture upgrades like installing water-efficient taps and showerheads, and connecting water filters or inline softeners.

Our mobile service vehicles carry common parts including tap valves, flexible hoses, cistern mechanisms, pipe fittings, and sealants, which means we can often complete straightforward repairs in one visit. For less common parts or specific fixture brands, we'll source the correct component and return to complete the job, explaining the delay and confirming the revised timeframe.

The process for general plumbing work involves assessing the fault or installation requirements onsite, confirming the fixed price before starting, completing the work using quality parts and correct installation methods, testing function and checking for leaks, then cleaning up and removing any waste generated during the job. You'll receive an itemised invoice showing what was done and what parts were used.

For Woollahra properties needing general plumbing maintenance or repairs, we're available for scheduled appointments and same-day service. Call to describe the issue, confirm an appointment time, and get it sorted by a licensed plumbing professional with the right parts and equipment on hand.

Fixed Today Plumbing handles commercial plumbing projects and maintenance across Woollahra businesses, including office fitouts, retail premises, cafes, restaurants, and small industrial sites. This covers installing commercial fixtures, maintaining grease traps, clearing high-volume drains, servicing commercial hot water systems, and responding to plumbing faults that threaten business operations.

Commercial plumbing differs from residential work in scale, usage intensity, and compliance requirements. A drain blockage in a restaurant kitchen can shut down service during peak hours. A faulty water heater in an office building affects dozens of people. We understand the pressure to minimise downtime and restore operations quickly.

Our commercial plumbing services include scheduled maintenance to catch faults before they disrupt business, emergency callouts for urgent failures, compliance work including backflow prevention testing and grease trap servicing, and project work for new fitouts or equipment installations. We coordinate with business owners to schedule work during low-traffic periods or after hours where possible, reducing impact on trading.

For commercial projects, we provide detailed quotes showing labour, materials, and timeframes, confirm access and site requirements before starting, and deliver documentation including compliance certificates, test results, and as-built records for building management files. If unexpected issues arise during the work, we notify you immediately and provide revised costings before proceeding.

For Woollahra businesses needing reliable commercial plumbing support, we combine technical capability with an understanding of operational constraints. Call to discuss your requirements, arrange a site assessment, and get a clear quote for the work needed to keep your business running.
