## What we do not take on
- We are plumbers and gas fitters. We do not do asbestos removal. Where a job requires cutting into material that may contain bonded asbestos, the removal is referred to a licensed asbestos removalist before we continue.
- We do not do roof replacement, tiling, waterproofing membranes as a standalone trade, or electrical work beyond disconnection and reconnection of the systems we install.
- We do not quote plumbing sight-unseen on a job that needs a camera or a pressure test. Where a phone diagnosis is not honest, we say so.
- We do not service commercial kitchens, industrial process pipework, or fire services.
- We do not charge an after-hours surcharge that was not disclosed on the phone before attending.

## Services
- 24/7 emergency plumbing - burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backups, gas smells
- Blocked drains - clearing, jetting, CCTV camera inspection with footage handed over
- Establishing the material and condition of a line of unknown vintage
- Pipe relining, quoted from footage rather than from the era of the street
- Leak detection isolated section by section, which is what finds a failing transition
- Hot water repairs and replacement, recommended from the property rather than the postcode
- Gas fitting, with the existing installation established before anything is quoted

## Hot water brands serviced

## Local knowledge (Gladesville specifics)
- **The defining local fact: Gladesville has no single housing cohort, and that changes how a plumber should behave.** The suburb grew around a large institutional landholding rather than in one push. The **Gladesville Hospital** site, originally the **Tarban Creek Lunatic Asylum**, opened in **1838** as the first purpose-built asylum in the colony of New South Wales, operated on the same site for roughly 150 years before winding down in the 1990s, and is now heritage-listed. Land around it was released progressively over a very long period.
- **This is context about the SHAPE of the suburb, not a plumbing claim. We do not speculate about that site's services, ground conditions or contamination, and never should.**
- **The plumbing consequence: streets a few hundred metres apart can be decades apart** in age and in the drainage that went into the ground with them. Sometimes a single street is mixed.
- **So the material and age of a line is a question rather than an assumption.** In a suburb built in one decade a plumber can generalise from the street and usually be right. Here that shortcut produces confident wrong answers, and anyone naming a material over the phone is describing an average rather than the property.
- **A neighbour's failure predicts very little.** In a single-cohort suburb it genuinely would be a forecast, because the same material went in at the same time along the whole street. Here it mostly tells you about that house, in either direction.
- **The river frontages developed on their own timetable.** Tennyson Point, Putney and Huntleys Point were taken up for the water rather than the land, which is another reason a suburb-wide rule does not travel to a particular street.
- **Which is why a camera earns its cost sooner here** than it would in a suburb where the era can be assumed.
- **Leaks tend to fail where the eras meet.** Houses added to over decades have old pipework joined to newer pipework, sometimes more than once, and those transitions bring different materials, fittings and standards together. The pipe either side is frequently sound while the join is not, so we isolate section by section rather than testing a run as one thing.
- **Hot water is a property question here, not a suburb one.** Gas availability, the space the existing unit occupies and what the house was originally set up for all vary considerably, so a generic recommendation is close to useless.
- **Rhodes and Wentworth Point in the service area are recent high-density redevelopment**, a completely different building stock from the houses behind them.
- **The honest limit, stated plainly: we will not date a property's plumbing from its street without looking, and we will not tell you what your pipes are over the phone.** In this suburb that would be a guess wearing a number.
- Sydney's water is soft, so a failed hot water system here is a spent anode or element rather than limescale.
