Lower North Shore
Plumber in Artarmon
Repairs, bathrooms and hot water for Artarmon's heritage houses and units, and for the workshops in the industrial area.
- Since 2007 on the North Shore
- Upfront pricing, agreed before we start
- Our own licenced team, not subbies
What we get called out to in Artarmon
- Everyday repairs. Dripping taps, running toilets and stiff mixers are more than half of what Artarmon books us for.
- Bathrooms in older houses. Interwar bathrooms that need new pipework behind the tiles, not just new tiles.
- Hot water. Tanks at the end of their life, swapped for gas, electric or heat pump.
- The industrial area. Workshops and showrooms west of the highway, with backflow testing and repairs worked around trading hours.
Most of our Artarmon work is small and steady, the kind of job that should be fixed properly the first time.
Emergency plumber in Artarmon
A burst pipe, a blocked toilet, no hot water or water coming through the ceiling? Ring 9904 3074 rather than using the form. Most urgent jobs in Artarmon get a plumber the same day, and we tell you on the phone what to turn off in the meantime.
Office hours are Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm. After-hours work can be arranged for a fee.
In more detail
The three we get called about most
Taps and toilets
Most of our Artarmon jobs are the small ones: a tap that won't stop dripping, a cistern that keeps running, a mixer that has gone stiff.
We carry the common parts on the ute, fix it on the visit where we can, and tell you if a fitting is old enough that replacing it is the better spend.
Leaking tapsBathrooms
Many Artarmon houses date from the Federation and interwar years, and their bathrooms have usually been redone at least once over pipes that were never replaced.
When we renovate one we strip it back to the pipework, replace what is tired, and waterproof to the current standard before a tile goes down.
Bathroom renovationsThe industrial area
West of the Pacific Highway it is workshops, showrooms, offices and trade counters, each with its own backflow device, amenities and drainage.
We test backflow devices, clear drains and fix amenities on a schedule that suits the business, and leave the paperwork your landlord asks for.

A typical job here
A tired bathroom in an Artarmon interwar house
The problem
The shower ran weak and lukewarm, and the grout around the base kept cracking no matter how often it was redone.
What we did
Stripping the room back showed old galvanised pipe feeding the shower and no working waterproofing under the tiles. We replaced the pipework in copper, waterproofed the floor and walls, and roughed in for the new layout.
The result
Proper pressure and hot water at the shower, a waterproof floor, and the owners saw each stage before it was covered up.

The work we have actually done in Artarmon
Our job records run from 2016. Since then we have completed more than 170 jobs in Artarmon.
That is the figure out of our job management system, not a number we made up for the website. It is also why we can usually tell you on the phone what a problem probably is before anyone gets in a ute.
The most common of them
- 97 taps, toilets and everyday repairs
- 30 blocked drains cleared
- 23 hot water repairs and replacements
- 19 roofing and guttering

Plenty of jobs cover more than one of these, so the numbers overlap rather than add up.
About the suburb
Plumbing in Artarmon
Artarmon sits between St Leonards and Chatswood, with the railway and the Pacific Highway running through it. East of the line, much of the suburb is a heritage conservation area of Federation and interwar houses. Around the station there are walk-up unit blocks and newer apartment buildings, and west of the highway is the industrial area.
That mix shows up in our job records. More than half of our Artarmon jobs since 2016 have been taps, toilets and everyday repairs, followed by bathrooms, blocked drains and hot water. Sewer jobs are fewer here than in the harbour suburbs, but the older houses still have earthenware lines, and when one blocks we put a camera down it before deciding anything.
In a heritage conservation area the street front matters. Where roof or gutter work would change what the street sees, we will tell you to check with Willoughby Council before we start.
