How Your Quote Works
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
On an estate home the price mostly comes down to how hard the pipe or unit is to get at.
It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours).
Price drivers on a typical job:
- Access Such as a slab-on-ground laundry, a low crawl space or a hot water unit wedged in a townhouse cupboard
- Pipe material From old galvanised to PVC, since some lines need more than a clear
- Parts Because system brands and replacement components vary in price
- After-hours Where the exclusion on the call-out applies
When we're not the right call. A cracked slab or a leaning retaining wall is a builder's repair, even when a leaking pipe helped cause it. A fault in your switchboard or hot water wiring goes to an electrician.

Questions Thornton Households Ask
Is there a fee just for coming out?
It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). The plumber looks at the fault, prices it on the spot and leaves the decision with you, with no work begun until you agree.
How quickly can someone get here?
We are Available 24/7, after-hours and weekends included. Tell us what the fault is doing when you ring so the truck carries the parts for it, and we confirm by message before arrival. Burst pipes and overflows jump the queue.
Which suburbs do you work besides Thornton?
Chisholm, Beresfield, Woodberry, Ashtonfield and Metford, plus Thornton itself. The same trucks work all of them. Outside that ring, give us the street name when you call and we confirm on the phone whether it sits on our run.
Is the price really locked in?
Yes. The price given after the inspection is what the invoice shows, whether the job takes an hour or a day. Nothing starts until you have heard it and said go ahead.
Who fixes the sewer main past my boundary?
The private sewer line runs from your fixtures out to the connection, and that stretch is ours to clear, film and repair. The shared main beyond it is maintained by the water authority. When our camera shows the fault out there, we hand you the footage to report it to them.
Do you do gas work as well as plumbing?
Yes, we are licensed plumbers and gas fitters. That covers new cooktops and ovens, leak repairs, lines out to a BBQ or pool heater, and gas hot water, all under the same 365-day warranty on all work.
