In more detail
The three we get called about most
Strata plumbing
Wollstonecraft has a large number of postwar apartment blocks, many with ageing shared stacks, risers and hot water plant.
We quote repairs to the strata manager with photos, so the committee can decide quickly.
Strata plumbingHot water
Hot water is a big part of our work here, because so many units have their own small tank in a cupboard.
We replace like for like where that suits, or recommend a better option when the old unit was the wrong size.
Hot waterSewer repairs
The houses and older blocks sit on sewer lines that are decades old, and a root or cracked joint can block a whole building's drain.
Where the pipe is sound enough we reline it, which fixes the problem without digging up a shared garden.

A typical job here
A Wollstonecraft line relined instead of dug up
The problem
Drains at the back of a Wollstonecraft house had blocked on and off for years, and the owner had been told the yard would need digging up.
What we did
The camera showed roots through several joints, but the pipe itself still holding its shape. We cleared it and relined the damaged length through the existing opening.
The result
A sealed line, no repeat blockages, and the backyard left as it was.
Out of the van

Our job records run from 2016. Since then we have completed more than 500 jobs in Wollstonecraft.
That is the figure out of our job management system, not a number we made up for the website. It is also why we can usually tell you on the phone what a problem probably is before anyone gets in a ute.

About the suburb
Plumbing in Wollstonecraft
Wollstonecraft is a small, mostly residential suburb in North Sydney Council's area, between Crows Nest and the harbour. It has a high share of apartment blocks, many built in the postwar decades, alongside Federation and interwar houses on the quieter streets.
About half of our Wollstonecraft jobs since 2016 have been everyday repairs, followed by blocked drains, sewer work, bathrooms and hot water.
Older apartment buildings bring older shared services: stacks, risers and hot water that have served many owners. Getting those right is a large part of what we do here.
For Wollstonecraft units, read what strata owners should know about plumbing and gas, electric or heat pump hot water.

Jennifer S., WollstonecraftQuestions we get asked in Wollstonecraft
