What we get called out to in Frenchs Forest
- Downpipes and leaf guards. Gutters on leafy blocks that fill quickly and overflow.
- Stormwater lines. Pipes that carry roof water across a big block and silt up over time.

We are not in Frenchs Forest every week, so we will be straight with you about timing when you ring.
Emergency plumber in Frenchs Forest
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 Frenchs Forest 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
Frenchs Forest roofs take a lot of leaf litter, and a gutter that overflows will find its way into eaves, walls and ceilings.
We fix the leak first, then deal with what caused it: replacing tired gutters, adding downpipes where there are too few, and fitting leaf guards where they work.
Roofing and guttersStormwater
On larger blocks, roof water travels a long way underground before it reaches the street or a pit, and silt and roots narrow the pipe along the way.
We jet the line clean, camera it to find any break, and repair the damaged part rather than the whole run.
Blocked drainsBathrooms
Many Frenchs Forest houses have been extended to add an ensuite or a second bathroom, and the new plumbing has to join the existing drainage properly.
We rough in and fit off to the builder's programme, or take on the whole bathroom, with waterproofing done to the current standard.

A typical job here
A Frenchs Forest stormwater line full of silt
The problem
After heavy rain, water pooled along the side of the house and the downpipes overflowed at the joints.
What we did
We jetted the stormwater line from the downpipes to the street, then ran the camera through to check for breaks. Silt and leaf litter had narrowed it to a fraction of its size.
The result
Roof water now gets away to the street, and the side path stays dry in a storm.

About the suburb
Plumbing in Frenchs Forest
Frenchs Forest sits on the plateau of the Northern Beaches, with family homes on larger blocks and plenty of trees between them. Much of the housing went up from the 1960s onwards, and many houses have since been extended.
It is at the edge of the area we cover and our job records here are thin, so we will not pretend otherwise. The work we have done is typical of the suburb: downpipes and leaf guards, stormwater lines that needed jetting, a bathroom fit-out and everyday repairs.
Big blocks mean long stormwater lines and a lot of roof to drain. Most of what goes wrong here is water not getting away fast enough.

What our customers say
Ewan did what 3 other roof plumbers failed to achieve and sealed a leak in our roof! He and his co-worker completed the work in a timely and efficient manner and the final price was exactly what he quoted. We will definitely use them again, highly recommended.
Glenn Crouch, Google reviewQuestions we get asked in Frenchs Forest
Can you fit leaf guards on a Frenchs Forest roof?
Yes, where they suit the roof and the gutter. Leaf guards cut down how often gutters need clearing on leafy blocks, but they do not suit every roof, and we will tell you if yours is one of them.

We price the job, not an hourly rate. You get the price in writing before we start.

Yes. STS Plumbing Co Pty Ltd holds NSW licence 227192C and is insured, and the plumbers who turn up are our own team.
