Who rings first on a strata job?

Any of the three. A tenant with water through the laundry floor should not sit on hold while the agent rings around, and an agent who needs a fault documented before a meeting should not sit on the owner either. The process holds either way:

The tenant calls

We ask what is happening, where the water is, and whether anything has been shut off, then confirm the visit with pre-arrival messages so nobody is guessing when we turn up.

The agent or committee calls

We attend, diagnose, and photograph the fault so the paperwork stands on its own when it reaches the owner or the meeting.

The owner calls

For a rental or a unit they hold in a block, we quote the work and the invoice travels to whoever the arrangement says pays it.

How a strata visit runs

  1. 1

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4063 1232 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 2

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 3

    Diagnose and document

    The fault gets traced, the fix gets photographed, and the invoice carries the detail a committee or agent needs to close the file.

  4. 4

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

When the problem is a drain rather than a fixture, the blocked sewer page sets out the clearing and camera-check method, and a hidden water loss goes to leak detection. A night-time failure, like a split pipe dripping into the unit downstairs, is emergency plumber work.

What drives the price of strata work?

On strata and rental jobs, four things move the figure:

  • How many access points the property offers and how far the equipment must reach, which on tight pre-war blocks can be the difference between a quick clear and a long one
  • Whether the fault sits inside one unit or on a shared line, since shared lines mean longer runs and heavier gear
  • What the pipe is made of, because a century of earthenware behaves differently to modern PVC
  • Whether the tenant needs us tonight or the job can wait for business hours, since night visits cost more

The housing that decides how these jobs run

Old cottages and new infill, both tenanted

The census counts 866 dwellings here, and area figures show 249 approved over the past five years. Pre-war weatherboard and brick cottages now share streets with newer townhouses and paired units, so one agent's list can hold both, and each fails differently: galvanised supply and clay drains in the cottage, braided hoses and appliance connections in the townhouse.

Shared ground on compact blocks

Flats made up 8.3 per cent of dwellings at the last census, but the lots are tight and neighbouring pipes run close, so a backup in one tenancy can turn into a shared-line question for the committee rather than one owner's bill. Heavy storms in the Throsby Creek catchment load the oldest drains hardest.

What Customers Say

[The team] have done an outstanding job at my mother's rental property. The area they worked on was particularly challenging, as it retained water and had become extremely muddy and boggy… The transformation has been remarkable.

When We're Not the Right Call

Structural faults are a builder's job

A cracked slab or a retaining wall that has shifted needs a structural engineer, and quoting plumbing work on top of it wastes the committee's money. We name the right trade instead.

Common property votes come first

Where a by-law requires a formal vote before anyone touches a pipe, the vote is the committee's step, and we are happy to attend and document so it has something to act on. For shopfronts and cafés on the retail strips, the commercial plumbing page covers the business-side work instead.

Common Questions on Strata Work

Can a tenant ring you directly for a rental in Georgetown?

Yes. A tenant can book the job themselves; we send a confirmation and a message before arrival, and the photos and detailed invoice go to the agent or owner afterwards. Nobody has to chase paperwork between the three parties, and the tenant is not left waiting on approval for a fault that is getting worse.

Do you send photos and a detailed invoice to the committee?

Each job closes with before and after photos and an itemised invoice. A committee can see what failed and what the plumber changed, which keeps approval simple when the bill lands on a meeting agenda instead of one owner's desk.

Who pays if the fault is common property in a Georgetown block?

That is a question for the plan of subdivision and the agent, not the plumber. We scope the fault, show the committee the footage and photos, and invoice the party the plan says owns the pipe. The work itself is quoted up front either way.

Can you handle a blocked sewer affecting more than one unit?

Yes. A common sewer backing up into several units is cleared and jetted, then filmed, and the recording tells the committee whether the line needs relining or only a clear. The footage forms part of the record for the next annual meeting.
