## What we do not take on
- We are plumbers and gas fitters. We do not do asbestos removal. Where a job requires cutting into material that may contain bonded asbestos, the removal is referred to a licensed asbestos removalist before we continue.
- We do not do roof replacement, tiling, waterproofing membranes as a standalone trade, or electrical work beyond disconnection and reconnection of the systems we install.
- We do not quote plumbing sight-unseen on a job that needs a camera or a pressure test. Where a phone diagnosis is not honest, we say so.
- We do not service commercial kitchens, industrial process pipework, or fire services.
- We do not charge an after-hours surcharge that was not disclosed on the phone before attending.

## Services
- 24/7 emergency plumbing - burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backups, gas smells
- Pre-purchase drain surveys with footage and a written report
- Blocked drains - clearing, jetting, CCTV camera inspection
- Pipe relining, documented before and after
- Leak detection and burst repair, with written findings on every job
- Hot water repairs and replacement, with the documentation that keeps a warranty alive
- Gas fitting, isolation valve checks, and compliance certificates

## Hot water brands serviced

## Local knowledge (Epping specifics)
- **The defining local fact: plumbing work in New South Wales generates a paper trail, and almost nobody has been handed one.** A licensed plumber is required to lodge a **Notice of Work** with the regulator **before** starting regulated plumbing and drainage work, and to provide a **Certificate of Compliance** **after** completing it. The certificate goes to the property owner.
- **The reason it matters: once the wall is closed, a competent job and an unlicensed one are indistinguishable.** The certificate is the only durable evidence that a licensed person did the work.
- **It gets asked for at the two worst moments.** At sale, by a conveyancer wanting evidence for work that shows on the property. After an incident, by an insurer wanting to know who did it and whether they were licensed. Both arrive years later, long after the tradesperson is contactable, and reconstructing the record then ranges from difficult to impossible.
- **So the ask is simple and it is yours to make.** Ask for the certificate on the day, keep it with the property papers, and treat a tradesperson who is unfamiliar with the obligation as having told you something.
- **The honest limit, stated plainly: we cannot produce paperwork for work somebody else did**, and we do not state the regulator's fees, timeframes or the precise scope of what is notifiable, because those vary and we have not verified them.
- **Drains are the gap in a pre-purchase inspection.** A building inspection covers structure and a pest inspection covers timber pests. **Neither puts a camera into the drainage**, so the one system where a defect is a four figure repair is the one system nobody examines before the money changes hands. A survey costs a few hundred dollars, produces footage and a written report, and a clean result buys certainty plus a baseline.
- **A buried repair disappears the day after it is made.** A relined section looks like any other pipe to anybody who has not seen the footage. Filming before and after and writing down what was done turns a repair you have to describe into one you can hand somebody, which matters at sale and when a problem recurs years later.
- **Hot water warranties depend on the installation.** A manufacturer's warranty generally requires the unit to have been installed by a licensed person, so **the paperwork is part of the product rather than admin**. Ask for three things before the van leaves: the compliance paperwork, the manufacturer's documentation, and a clear record of the install date.
- **After a burst, the order is water off, photographs, then call.** How much a burst costs is almost entirely decided by how long the supply stayed on. Photographs of the water and the affected rooms take thirty seconds and cannot be recreated once cleanup starts. **A repair invoice says what was done; a written report says what happened and why**, and those serve different purposes.
- **Gas: the isolation valve at the meter gets used once in twenty years.** Two questions are worth answering long before that night: which handle it is, and whether it will actually move. A valve untouched for two decades can be stiff or seized. **Do not force it**, because a valve that fails while being forced is worse than one that is merely stiff.
- **This is a small service area and deliberately so.** Epping, Macquarie Park and Rydalmere. We would rather name three suburbs honestly than list half of Sydney.
- Sydney's water is soft, so a failed hot water system here is a spent anode or element rather than limescale.
