Crows Nest and St Leonards
Plumber in Crows Nest

- 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 Crows Nest
- Everyday repairs. Taps, toilets and fittings in the terraces, semis and units, about half of our Crows Nest work.
- Roofs and gutters. Close to a hundred roof and gutter jobs since 2016, on houses built tight against each other.
- Cafes and restaurants. Grease arrestors, blocked kitchen drains and gas, fixed around service.
- Gas. Cooktops, heaters and hot water connected and checked by our licenced gasfitters.
We were based in Crows Nest for six years, and we never stopped working here.
Emergency plumber in Crows Nest
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 Crows Nest 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
Roofs and gutters
Terraces and semis share walls, gutters and sometimes box gutters, so a leak in Crows Nest can come from next door's roof as much as yours.
We trace the water to where it actually gets in, fix flashings, valleys and gutters, and tell you plainly if the problem sits on the neighbour's side.
Roofing and guttersCafes and shops
The cafes, restaurants and shops in the village need drains and grease arrestors that keep working through a busy service.
We schedule the work before opening or after close, and leave the kitchen clean enough to trade.
Commercial plumbingGas fitting
We connect and service gas cooktops, heaters and hot water in Crows Nest homes and commercial kitchens.
Every gas job is done by a licenced gasfitter, tested for leaks before we leave, and certified as the rules require.

A typical job here
Water through a Crows Nest terrace ceiling
The problem
In every heavy storm, water came through the ceiling of an upstairs bedroom, even after the roof had been patched twice.
What we did
The box gutter between two terraces had rusted through at the outlet and was too small for the roof it served. With the neighbour's agreement we replaced it with a larger gutter and a new outlet.
The result
The ceiling has stayed dry, and both owners know exactly what was done on their side of the wall.

About the suburb
Plumbing in Crows Nest
Crows Nest grew up around its village centre, with cafes, restaurants and shops along the main streets and rows of terraces, semis and cottages behind them. Apartment buildings have gone up around the edges and near the metro station.
STS was based here from 2010 to 2016, between our start in Mosman and our move to Lane Cove. After everyday repairs, the most common Crows Nest jobs in our records are blocked drains, roofing, sewer work and hot water.
Houses built close together share more than walls. Sewer lines, stormwater and box gutters often run across boundaries, so before we price a repair we find out exactly whose pipe or gutter it is.
For Crows Nest roofs and kitchens, read what a back tray is and why your roof needs one, the benefits of gas and what commercial plumbing covers.
