Local Plumbing and Gas for Bulimba Homes
Bulimba is one of the most renovated suburbs in Brisbane's inner east, and that shows up in the plumbing we find behind the walls. Character homes near Oxford Street and the Bulimba ferry terminal often hide eighty-year-old pipework feeding a brand new bathroom. The two do not always get along.
We know the local mix well, so we test the old before we connect the new. While the wall is open, we tell you honestly what is worth upgrading. Our Barwon Street office is about three kilometres away, which means we can usually get there before the tiler does.

After our hot water system failed overnight, we called Billy at 8:00 AM on Saturday. By midday, he had a brand-new system completely installed! The team was super friendly, efficient, and did an amazing job. Highly recommend their services.

FAQs
Bulimba Plumbing Questions
The questions 4171 homeowners bring us most often, answered straight.
Contact Us

Bulimba is about three kilometres from our Barwon Street office, so it is one of the quickest runs we make. Most Bulimba jobs get a same-day or next-day two-hour window, and urgent work like a burst pipe jumps the queue. Ring us early and there is a good chance we are there before lunch.
Yes, and it is a big slice of what we do in 4171. Bulimba is full of character homes being extended, re-bathroomed and opened up, and the plumbing behind those walls is often eighty years old. We work in with builders and cabinetmakers on rough-in and fit-off, and we flag ageing pipework before it vanishes behind new plasterboard. Finding it later costs a great deal more than finding it now.
They are the single most common cause of blocked drains we see in Bulimba. The established figs, poincianas and jacarandas along the older streets send roots straight into the joints of earthenware sewer lines. We camera the line first, jet rod the roots back to the pipe wall, then show you the footage. From there you choose between a maintenance clean every couple of years or a proper repair.
We can. We are licensed Queensland gasfitters. We run new gas lines, connect cooktops and outdoor barbecue points, and issue the compliance certificate when the work is done. We check the existing line and regulator can carry the new load before quoting. In older Bulimba homes the original run was often sized for a single appliance.
We cover all of Bulimba, from Oxford Street and the ferry terminal end through to Apollo Road and the Balmoral border. Riverfront blocks often have steeper falls and older stormwater arrangements, which we take into account when quoting drainage work. If you are unsure whether your street is in our area, ring us and we will tell you in ten seconds.
