Is water moving right now?

Escaping, backing up, or coming through a ceiling. Answer honestly — the cheaper option is the right one more often than you'd think.

Callout is $89 either way. Covers travel and the first 30 minutes on site.

What we fix

The calls we get at 3am

Anything on this list, any hour. Everything else we'll book you in for daylight and charge you less for it.

Water pouring from a large grey pipe onto a wet road24 hours

Burst pipes & mains

Isolate, stop the loss, then repair. If you can reach your stopcock, turn it off before we arrive — it saves more than we can.

A drop of water falling from a chrome tap in close-up24 hours

Leaks & dripping taps

Hidden leaks traced with acoustic gear rather than by opening walls and hoping. Most are fixed in one visit.

Blocked drains

Cleared, then camera-checked so you can see what caused it. If it's roots or a collapse, you get the footage.

Toilets & cisterns

Overflowing, blocked or running all night. A single working toilet is an emergency in a house with one bathroom.

Hands working on the pipework beneath a domestic water heaterBooked daytime

Water heaters

No hot water, leaking tank, or a pressure valve that keeps blowing. Repaired first, replaced only when the numbers say so.

A plumber fitting white waste pipework inside a wall cavityBooked daytime

Pipework & repipes

Planned work, quoted flat and booked in daylight. Cheaper than the same job at midnight, which is why we say so.

Pricing

The number nobody else puts on their website

Emergency plumbing is expensive because it is genuinely hard to staff at 3am. Hiding that behind 'call for a quote' just means you find out when you are least able to argue.

Emergency callout

Travel plus the first 30 minutes on site. Charged once.

$89
After the first 30 minutes

Billed in half-hour blocks, agreed before we continue.

$45 / 30 min
Booked daytime visit

Same callout, no emergency premium. Mon–Fri, 8am–5pm.

$59
Parts

You see the invoice. No mystery markup on a $4 washer.

At cost + 15%

Quoted before we start, not after. If we can't fix it, there's no callout fee at all.

Where we go

Trucks staged across the metro

We hold vans in four places overnight so nobody is starting from a depot across town.

Called 11:40pm
Feed pipe let go under the kitchen. Someone picked up on the second ring, told me exactly what the callout would cost, and was here in fifty minutes. The invoice matched the number he said on the phone.

They told me it wasn't an emergency and booked me in for the afternoon at the cheaper rate. Genuinely did not expect a plumber to talk me out of the expensive option.

Blocked main, sewage backing into the shower. Cleared it, then showed me the camera footage of the root that caused it and quoted the permanent fix for daylight hours.

Still running?

Turn it off at the stopcock if you can reach it, then call. If it can wait until morning we'll say so and book you in cheaper.
