WaterproofingWhat we actually do, and who does it
STS Plumbing has been on the North Shore since 2007, based in Mosman, then Crows Nest, and in Lane Cove since 2016. There are four plumbers, a recently qualified plumber, an apprentice, the office and Simon. Everyone who turns up at your place works for STS.
Between the licences we hold, most of what a house or a building needs can sit with one company: plumbing, gas fitting, drainage, roofing, waterproofing, and kitchen, bathroom and laundry renovations. That matters most on the jobs where the trades meet, because that is where things get blamed on someone else.
What we get called to
- Around the house. Blocked drains, sewer repairs, hot water, gas, burst pipes, taps and toilets.
- On the roof. Leaks traced to the cause, gutters, valleys, flashings, skylights and re-roofing.
- Behind the tiles. Waterproofing, certified, for bathrooms, balconies, planter boxes and below ground.
- Whole rooms. Bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovations under one licence and one price.
- Buildings. Strata and commercial work, with reports and compliance testing.
Who we work for
- Homeowners on the North Shore. The bulk of what we do, in 25 suburbs we are in most weeks.
- Strata and building managers. Written findings and fixed prices a committee can act on.
- Builders, designers and renovators. The licenced trades on your job, to your programme.
- Agents and landlords. Repairs across a portfolio, organised with tenants.
