- Since 2007 on the North Shore

What we get called out to in Lindfield
- Sewer repairs. The largest group in our Lindfield records after everyday repairs.
- Bathrooms. As common as sewer work here, in houses and in the newer units.
- Hot water. Big households need the right size system, gas, electric or heat pump.
- Blocked drains. Cleared, then checked so they stay clear.
Lindfield's family homes work their plumbing hard, and that shows in what we get called for.
Emergency plumber in Lindfield
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 Lindfield 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
Sewer repairs
Sewer and stormwater work makes up a bigger share of our Lindfield jobs than blocked drains do, which usually means lines that need repair rather than just clearing.
We camera the line, find the failing section and give you the choice of relining or replacing it, with the prices side by side.
Sewer repairsHot water
A family home can run through a lot of hot water, and an undersized or ageing system shows it on a winter morning.
We recommend a size and type that suits the household, including heat pumps where they make sense, and take the old unit away.
Hot waterBathrooms
Lindfield bathrooms range from originals in interwar houses to apartment bathrooms whose builder's fittings have not aged well.
We renovate both, replacing old pipework, sorting out drainage falls and waterproofing to the standard.

A typical job here
A Lindfield bathroom renovation, plumbing side
The problem
The family bathroom in an interwar Lindfield house leaked into the subfloor, and the shower took a long time to run hot.
What we did
We stripped it back, replaced the old drainage and water pipes, moved the shower to suit the new layout, and waterproofed the floor and walls before tiling.
The result
A bathroom that drains properly, hot water that arrives quickly, and a dry subfloor.
Another Lindfield job
Stormwater full of roots in Lindfield
The problem
The stormwater was backing up.
What we did
We jetted the line from the pit to the street and cut out a large amount of tree roots, then ran the camera through the main line from the downpipe.
The result
The stormwater was flowing again that day, and the owners had camera footage showing where the old line needs repair before it blocks again.

About the suburb
Plumbing in Lindfield
Lindfield is on the Upper North Shore in Ku-ring-gai, with shops on both sides of the railway station. Most of the suburb is family houses on large, leafy blocks, many of them Federation and interwar and some within heritage conservation areas. Newer apartment buildings have gone up near the station and along the Pacific Highway.
After everyday repairs, the biggest groups of Lindfield jobs in our records are sewer and stormwater work and bathrooms, followed by blocked drains and hot water.
On the larger blocks, a sewer or stormwater line can run a long way before it reaches the street, and a leak along it may go unnoticed for years. If a patch of lawn is always greener or wetter than the rest, it is worth a camera inspection.
For Lindfield families: choosing the right hot water system for your family, why heat pumps suit Sydney homes and how we fixed a recurring bathroom leak.
