Waived if we clear the blockage on the same visit. Footage sent either way.

Most common jobs are quoted as a fixed price rather than by the hour — a tap repair, a toilet cistern rebuild or a hot water element replacement is priced on the job, not the clock. Where a fault genuinely can't be priced from the doorstep, such as a leak under a slab, we quote the investigation first and the repair once we know what we're dealing with.

In Detail

Plumbing services explained

Blocked Drain Repairs Brisbane Northside

Blocked drains are the most common call we get on the north side, and in most cases the blockage is a symptom rather than the problem. Older Brisbane homes around Wilston, Grange and Ashgrove often have earthenware sewer lines that tree roots find their way into.

We run a CCTV camera down the line first so you can see the cause, then clear it with high-pressure water jetting rather than just punching a hole through the blockage. If the pipe itself has failed, we'll show you the footage and quote a repair or reline.

  • Tree root ingress, grease build-up and collapsed lines
  • CCTV inspection included before any clearing work
  • High-pressure jetting for sewer, stormwater and kitchen lines

Hot Water System Repairs & Replacement

No hot water is usually one of three things: a pilot that's gone out, a failed element or thermostat, or a unit that's simply reached the end of its life. Our vans carry elements, thermostats and anodes for Rheem, Rinnai and Dux, so most repairs are done on the first visit.

If the tank has rusted through, we'll tell you honestly rather than selling you a repair that won't hold, and we can usually supply and install a replacement the same day. We handle electric, natural gas and solar systems, and we install the tempering valve required under Queensland regulations.

24/7 Emergency Plumber Brisbane

Burst pipes, sewer overflows and major leaks don't keep business hours. A licensed plumber answers our phone around the clock, and we'll talk you through shutting the water off at the meter while we're on the way.

Our priority on an emergency call-out is stopping the damage first, then diagnosing the underlying cause and quoting a permanent repair once the situation is stable.

Licensed Gas Fitting Brisbane

Gas work is licensed work, and for good reason. If you can smell gas, stop using the appliance, open the windows, avoid touching any electrical switches and call us straight away.

We install and service cooktops, ovens, heaters, gas hot water units and outdoor connections, carry out leak testing with a manometer, and issue the compliance certificate required for any new or relocated appliance.

Leak Detection & Burst Pipe Repair

A rising water bill, a damp patch on a wall, or the sound of running water when every tap is off usually means a hidden leak. We locate leaks with acoustic and thermal equipment rather than opening up walls to look, which keeps the repair — and the make-good — as small as possible.

For burst pipes we isolate at the meter, repair the failed section in copper or PEX depending on the existing pipework, then pressure test the line before we leave.

Leaking Taps, Toilets & Cisterns

A running toilet can waste hundreds of litres a day and a dripping tap is rarely more than a perished washer or a worn cartridge. These are cheap jobs and worth doing before they show up on the water bill.

We carry washers, cartridges and cistern parts for Dorf, Methven and Caroma, plus common mixer and pull-out kitchen tap spares.

CCTV Drain Camera Inspections

When a drain blocks repeatedly, a camera tells you why. We can trace the camera head from above ground to pinpoint a defect, then plan a targeted repair instead of guessing. Footage is recorded and sent to you — useful for pre-purchase inspections, insurance and body corporate records.

Pipe Relining — No-Dig Drain Repair

Relining installs a new resin liner inside the existing pipe and cures it in place, which means a cracked or root-damaged drain can often be repaired without excavating a driveway, garden or slab. It's usually faster and less disruptive than a dig-and-replace, and we'll tell you plainly when a section is too far gone to reline.

Bathroom, Kitchen & Laundry Plumbing

For renovations we handle the rough-in and the fit-off, set out to the tiler's grid, coordinate with the builder's program, and certify the completed work. We also connect dishwashers, fridge water lines and filtered-water taps as standalone jobs.

Roof & Gutter Repairs

Brisbane storm season finds every weak point. We repair and replace guttering, downpipes and roof flashings, and clear stormwater lines that back up under heavy rain.

Backflow Prevention Testing

Testable backflow prevention devices must be inspected and certified annually by an accredited plumber, with results lodged with the local authority. We're accredited for testing and can manage the annual reminder and lodgement for commercial sites and body corporates.

Rang at ten at night with water coming through the kitchen ceiling. Dave talked me through shutting it off at the meter while he was still driving over, and had it capped before midnight. Quoted the proper repair the next morning and stuck to it.

Hot water died on a Sunday. Expected to be gouged and wasn't — no call-out fee, fixed price quoted before he started, and the new unit was in that afternoon. Cleaned up properly too.

Third plumber we'd had out for the same blocked drain. Kingfisher put a camera down it first and found the tree roots the others had just pushed through. Relined the section and it's been perfect since.

Booked for a leaking tap, ended up getting the whole laundry re-plumbed. Turned up in the window, texted before arriving, and the price was the price. Will use again.

Smelled gas near the cooktop and they came out the same afternoon. Found a loose fitting, tested the whole line and issued the certificate. Very reassuring for a first-home owner.

Slab leak under the hallway. They traced it without pulling up half the floor, which two other mobs said would be necessary. Saved us thousands in repairs to the repair.

FAQs

Brisbane plumbing questions, answered

How much does a plumber cost in Brisbane?
Most Brisbane plumbers charge a call-out fee plus an hourly rate. We don't charge a call-out fee at all. Labour is $130 per hour during business hours and $195 after hours, but the majority of common jobs are quoted as a fixed price for the work rather than by the clock, so you know the total before we start.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No. There's no call-out fee at any hour, and quotes are free and obligation-free. You only pay for work you've approved.
How quickly can a plumber get to me?
For emergencies on the Brisbane north side we aim to be with you within 60 minutes. For standard bookings we offer same-day or next-day appointments with a two-hour arrival window and a text when we're on the way.
Are you available 24 hours?
Yes. A licensed plumber answers our phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including public holidays, for burst pipes, sewer overflows, gas leaks and major water leaks.
Are your plumbers licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold QBCC Trade Contractor Licence 15264871 and Queensland Gas Work Licence 87421, carry $20 million public liability cover, and are members of Master Plumbers' Association of Queensland. You can verify our licence on the QBCC register.
What should I do if a pipe bursts?
Turn the water off at the meter — usually at the front boundary, turned clockwise until it stops. If water is near lights or power points, switch that circuit off at the board. Open the lowest tap in the house to drain the pressure, then call us. We'll stay on the line if you need a hand.
Do you give compliance certificates for gas work?
Yes. Any new or relocated gas appliance requires a compliance certificate under Queensland regulations. We issue and lodge it the same day, at no extra charge on any gas job.
Which Brisbane suburbs do you service?
We service Brisbane's northern suburbs from our Stafford base, including Kedron, Chermside, Aspley, Everton Park, Mitchelton, Ashgrove, Wilston, Grange, Nundah, Clayfield, Ferny Grove and surrounds. Call us if you're just outside that area.
Can you fix a blocked drain without digging?
In most cases yes. We clear blockages with high-pressure water jetting, and where the pipe itself is cracked or root-damaged we can often reline it from the inside rather than excavating. We'll show you the camera footage and explain the options before quoting.
Do you offer a warranty?
All workmanship is covered by a 12-month warranty, and manufacturer warranties apply to any parts and appliances we supply. If something we've fixed plays up, we come back.
Do you offer discounts for seniors or pensioners?
Yes — 10% off labour for seniors and pensioners. Just mention it when you book.
Can I get a quote before booking?
Yes. Quotes are free and there's no obligation. For straightforward jobs we can often give an indicative price over the phone; for anything that needs eyes on it, we'll attend, diagnose and quote a fixed price at no charge.
