Where we work
Local to the Hills, Hornsby and the Upper North Shore
We’re based in Annangrove. That means when we say we’ll be there this afternoon, we will be.
The Hills District
Our home patch. We’re based in Annangrove, so most of the Hills is within twenty minutes.
Hornsby Shire
Established suburbs with older sewer infrastructure and a lot of mature trees — we do a lot of drain work here.
Upper North Shore
Period homes, heritage constraints and original pipework. Careful work, done properly.

Yes, 24 hours a day for genuine emergencies — burst pipes, no water, sewage backing up inside the house, gas leaks and major hot water failures. A person answers the phone rather than a message service.
Our workmanship, for as long as you own the property. If something we installed or repaired fails because of how we did the work, we come back and fix it at no charge. Parts and appliances are covered by their own manufacturer warranties, which we’ll register for you.
Yes. We hold current NSW plumbing and gasfitting licences and full public liability insurance. Every gas and hot water installation we complete is lodged with NSW Fair Trading and you receive a copy of the compliance certificate.
For urgent work, usually the same day — often within a couple of hours. We’re a local business based in Annangrove, not a dispatcher sending whoever happens to be free, so the person who answers the phone knows how far away the van actually is.
