Roof leaks, gutters, gas and bathrooms for Pymble's big houses on big, leafy blocks on the Upper North Shore.
- 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 Pymble
- Roofs and gutters. More than a third of our Pymble jobs, almost as many as everyday repairs.
- Everyday repairs. Taps, toilets and fittings.
- Gas. Cooktops, heaters and gas hot water.
- Bathrooms. Ensuites and family bathrooms in larger homes.
In Pymble the roof keeps us busier than the drains, which is not true of many suburbs.
Emergency plumber in Pymble
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 Pymble 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
Pymble houses are often large, with complicated tiled roofs, valleys and long runs of gutter under tall trees.
We find where the water is getting in, repair valleys and flashings, and replace gutters and downpipes sized for the roof.
Roofing and guttersGas fitting
Plenty of Pymble homes cook and heat with gas, and the appliances and connections age like everything else.
Our licenced gasfitters connect cooktops, heaters and hot water, check for leaks, and issue the compliance paperwork.
Gas fittingBathrooms
Larger houses mean more bathrooms, and ensuites added in the 1980s and 1990s are now due.
We can move a shower, add a second basin or relocate a toilet, and we tell you early which changes are simple and which are not.

A typical job here
A roof valley leak in a Pymble house
The problem
Water was coming through a ceiling in heavy rain, and two earlier patches with sealant had not held.
What we did
We found a rusted valley iron under a big tree, packed with leaf litter. We replaced the valley, re-bedded the tiles beside it and cleaned out the gutters it fed.
The result
A dry ceiling, and the owners know which part of the roof needs watching.
Another Pymble job
A new hot water system in Pymble, with the valves done properly
The problem
The old hot water system was due for replacement.
What we did
While it was disconnected we fitted the full valve set the new one needs: a tempering valve so the bathroom taps stay at a safe temperature, a gas isolation valve, a duo valve and a pressure limiting valve, then installed and commissioned the new system.
The result
A new system set up to last, with the water pressure and temperature controlled from the start.

About the suburb
Plumbing in Pymble
Pymble is on the Upper North Shore in Ku-ring-gai, with large houses on large blocks, steep streets in places and tall trees nearly everywhere. Bushland runs along the edges of the suburb.
What stands out in our Pymble records is the roofing: roof and gutter work is more than a third of our jobs here, almost level with everyday repairs, with bathrooms and gas behind them.
Big roofs under tall trees collect leaves in valleys and gutters, and that is where most Pymble leaks start. A gutter clean and a roof check before summer storms costs less than a ceiling repair after one.
For Pymble roofs, read what to ask a North Shore roof plumber, why to book a roof inspection before solar and the benefits of gas.
