Emergency plumber in St Leonards
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 St Leonards 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
Taps and toilets
In a high-rise apartment, a dripping tap or a running cistern is usually a worn cartridge or valve, and fixing it properly needs the right part for that fitting.
We identify the fitting, carry the common parts, and isolate only your unit while we work.
Leaking tapsBlocked drains in units
Kitchen and laundry blockages in apartments often sit in the branch line between your unit and the stack.
We clear it from inside your unit where we can, and tell the building manager if the problem is in the shared stack.
Blocked drainsHot water in units
Apartments here use small electric storage units or a central plant, and each needs a different approach.
We repair or replace individual units, and for central plant we work through the building manager.
Hot waterIt’s an emergency! I’d better ring STS.
Old fashioned service. Modern day plumbing.

A typical job here
A blocked kitchen line in a St Leonards apartment
The problem
The kitchen sink in a high-rise unit drained slowly for weeks, then stopped.
What we did
We cleared the branch line from the unit to the stack and confirmed the stack itself was running, so the strata did not need to be involved.
The result
The sink drains properly, and the owner had a clear answer on whose pipe it was.

About the suburb
Plumbing in St Leonards
St Leonards is a commercial and residential centre on the Pacific Highway, with high-rise apartment towers, office buildings and Royal North Shore Hospital. Older houses are few; most people here live in apartments.
That shows in our records. About two thirds of our St Leonards jobs since 2016 have been everyday repairs in apartments, with blocked drains, bathroom fittings and hot water making up most of the rest.
Working in a tower is about planning: booking the lift, parking where the building allows, and keeping the shut-off to your unit rather than the whole floor.
For St Leonards apartments, read what changes when you renovate an apartment bathroom and how to cut your hot water costs.
