Local North Shore plumbing
Renovations
Bathrooms and kitchens, run by the licenced trade that has to sign off the plumbing. One company, one program, one person to ring.
- Upfront pricing, agreed before we start
- Our own licenced team, not subbies
- Since 2007 on the North Shore
Renovation work we do
One company, and the licence that covers the whole job
STS holds a Kitchen, Bathroom and Laundry Renovators Licence as well as the plumbing and waterproofing licences, which means the whole job can sit with one company rather than being split between a builder, a plumber and a waterproofer who each blame the others when something goes wrong.
The parts of a renovation that cost money later are the parts you cannot see: the waterproofing, the falls, the pipework behind the wall. Those are plumbing decisions, and having the plumber run the job rather than turn up for two days in the middle of it is the reason ours tend to last.
What we get called to
- What is behind the old tiles. Rotten timber, a floor that has moved, poor render, pipework past its life. We show you and price it rather than absorb it quietly or spring it at the end.
- Small bathrooms where every centimetre counts. Most of the gain comes from moving one fixture, and whether that is cheap or expensive is about where the waste runs.
- Waterproofing done properly and certified. The single most common reason a bathroom has to be done twice.
- Period houses. New work that goes in without the house losing what makes it worth having.
- Apartments and strata. Access, building rules, noise hours and the owners corporation, all sorted before the job starts.
Who we work for
- Homeowners. A bathroom, a kitchen or a laundry, run start to finish with one price and one person to ring.
- Apartment owners. Strata renovations, with the building's requirements handled rather than discovered.
- Builders and designers. The plumbing and waterproofing on your job, to your programme and certified.
- Investors and landlords. Renovations priced for a return rather than for a magazine.
Common questions
How long will we be without the room?
A standard kitchen is about a week from removal to usable. A bathroom is usually longer, and a custom kitchen can run to three weeks. We give you the programme before anything comes out so you can plan around it.
Who sources the materials?
Either of us. Plenty of people enjoy choosing the tiles and tapware themselves. If you have not got the time we will do the running around, which is a service we charge for.
What mistakes do people make?
Choosing on price alone, which usually means the cheap quote left things out. Not checking every trade on the job is licenced. And skimping on the waterproofing, which is the one that costs the most to put right.
Are you licenced for renovation work?
Yes, for kitchen, bathroom and laundry renovations, plus plumbing and waterproofing. Check us and any other contractor on the NSW Fair Trading site before you sign anything.
