- Blocked drains. More than 70 cleared in Kirribilli since 2016.

In more detail
The three we get called about most
Strata plumbing
Most Kirribilli homes are apartments, so most problems involve someone else's pipes too: the unit above, the shared stack, or a hot water plant in the basement.
We find the source, fix it, and give the building manager photos and a written finding.
Strata plumbingApartment bathrooms
Kirribilli bathrooms are often small and old, and renovating one means working within by-laws on noise, hours and waterproofing.
We plan the job around the building, keep the lift and common areas clean, and have the waterproofing certified.
Bathroom renovationsHot water
Many units here run a small electric tank in a laundry cupboard, and replacing one is as much about the space as the household.
We size the new unit to how you use it, check it fits, and take the old one away.

A typical job here
A leak into the unit below in Kirribilli
The problem
Water was staining the ceiling of a downstairs unit, and nobody could say which bathroom above it was the source.
What we did
We tested the bathrooms above and found a failed shower waste joint. We repaired it, and gave the owner, the tenant and the building manager the same written finding.
The result
The leak stopped, the ceiling below could be repaired, and the owners corporation had what it needed to close the matter.

About the suburb
Plumbing in Kirribilli
Kirribilli is one of the smallest and most densely built suburbs on the North Shore, at the northern end of the Harbour Bridge. Most people here live in apartments, from interwar blocks to newer buildings, with terraces and houses scattered among them.
After everyday repairs, the most common Kirribilli jobs in our records are blocked drains, bathrooms, sewer work and hot water.
Older apartment buildings share stacks and risers between many units, so a blocked or leaking pipe on one floor can affect several homes. We start by finding exactly where the problem is, so the right owner or the strata pays for the right repair.
For Kirribilli owners: strata plumbing explained and how to save money on hot water.
