Plumber in Rhodes

The figure you approve is the figure you pay. It gets worked out in front of you, before a bag comes off the trolley, and nothing gets added to it afterwards.

That matters more in a building than it does in a house, because a plumbing problem in an apartment has an audience: you, the neighbour below, and often a strata manager. We cover all of Rhodes, 7.9km from base, same day seven days, with emergency callouts at any hour.

About the suburb

Rhodes is a peninsula that was industrial land and is now one of the densest residential pockets in Sydney. West of the railway the towers went up after 2000 on remediated ground, mostly four to eight storeys with taller buildings along Blaxland Road. Flats and apartments are about 95 per cent of all dwellings here. East of the line it is quieter, with single family homes and parkland.

About 11,450 people live on it, median age 32, and only 23.5 per cent were born in Australia. The markers are Rhodes station on the T9, Rhodes Waterside, the Bennelong Bridge across to Wentworth Point, McIlwaine Park and Brays Bay Reserve, and Concord Road running down to Ryde Bridge. It all sits in the City of Canada Bay.

Living at that density changes what a plumbing bill has to do. You often need a price you can forward to a strata manager or a landlord, in writing, before anyone will authorise the work. A vague estimate and an hourly rate is no use to you in that conversation.

What we do in Rhodes

General plumbing and maintenance. Inside the lot, most calls are fixtures and fittings. Flexi hoses, mixer cartridges, cistern internals, shower wastes, dishwasher and washing machine connections, and isolation valves that have stopped isolating. Small jobs, but in a tower they are worth pricing properly, because the cost of a failed hose is never just the hose. All quoted as one figure first. See general plumbing and maintenance and tap and toilet repairs.

Blocked drains. In a tower the waste leaves your lot and joins a shared stack, which changes who owns the problem. We work that out before quoting. See blocked drains in Rhodes.

Hot water. Individual units and centralised building plant are two very different jobs, covered on the hot water Rhodes page.

Leak detection. Water in a slab travels, and in a tower it travels downwards into somebody else's home. We find it before the ceiling below yours does.

Common questions from Rhodes homeowners

How does a fixed price work when the job is inside an apartment?

The same way it works anywhere. We look at the actual job, give you one figure, and you approve it before anything starts. The only apartment specific part is that we tell you upfront if what we are looking at appears to sit on common property, because then the owners corporation is the one approving the spend, not you.

Who pays if the problem turns out to belong to the building?

Not you, generally, but that is a matter for your strata rather than for us to rule on. What we can do is identify what has failed and where it sits, and put that in writing so you have something to hand the strata manager instead of an argument.

Is there a charge just to come and look?

There is no callout fee when the job goes ahead, and the quote is not inflated to hide one. You are paying for the work, not for the lift ride.

Do I need to book anything with the building before you arrive?

Often yes, and it saves everyone time. Many buildings here want trades booked in for lift access or a loading dock slot, and some require the water to be isolated through the building manager. Tell us what your building requires and we will work to it.

What are the most common jobs you get in these buildings?

Flexi hoses, mixer cartridges, toilet cisterns, shower wastes and dishwasher connections. Almost all of it is inside the lot and nothing to do with the building, which is why the fixed price is simple to give.

Can you work on the older houses east of the railway too?

Yes. That side of Rhodes still has single family homes and they behave like any other older house, which means earthenware drains, mature trees and pipework that predates the apartment towers by decades. Same licence, same pricing.
