Footage and a written finding, which is what a committee needs to decide.
Drain cameraBuildings are not just bigger houses
A commercial or strata building has a network rather than a set of pipes. One stack serves many lots, a fault in one tenancy lands in another, and the paperwork a building manager has to file is nothing like a domestic invoice. That is why a good domestic plumber is not automatically the right person for a block of units.
We have been doing this work on the Lower North Shore since 2007, for owners corporations, strata managers, facilities managers, agents and business owners. Everything comes back with photos, a written finding and a fixed price, in a form a committee can approve without a meeting to interpret it.
What we get called to
- Stacks and common drains. Slow drains across several lots at once, and working out whose line the fault is actually on.
- Leaks between floors. Rarely coming from directly above. Found properly before anyone opens a ceiling.
- Hot water plant. Central systems, storage and circulating lines, repaired or replaced with minimum time off.
- Backflow prevention and thermostatic mixing valves. Tested annually by someone endorsed to do it, with the certificate for your file.
- Cafes, food premises and busy offices. Grease, heavy use, and repairs that have to happen without closing the place.
Who we work for
- Strata managers and owners corporations. Reports a committee can act on, and we deal with residents directly if that saves you the phone calls.
- Facilities and building managers. Scheduled maintenance, compliance testing and the documentation that goes with it.
- Business owners. Work booked around trading, including early starts, so the doors stay open.
- Real estate agencies. Repairs across a portfolio, arranged with tenants and reported back.
Common questions
Why can we not just use a residential plumber?
Scale and paperwork. Commercial systems are larger, the compliance requirements are different, and a building manager needs certificates and documentation a domestic job never asks for. The insurance expected on a commercial site is also higher.
Can you work outside our trading hours?
Yes. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm, and scheduled work is booked rather than done on the night, but we will start early or work around your quiet window. Tell us when that is.
Our job has to go to tender. Can you provide the documentation?
Yes. Licences, insurances, safe work method statements and the rest of what a tender pack asks for. Tell us what is required and we will complete it.
Will you deal with residents directly?
Yes, if it saves you the calls. We arrange access, tell people when the water is going off and when it is coming back, and report back to you.
