Who Does the Work Report To?

The chain of contact

The tenant reports the fault and we confirm with the agent. Before starting we establish whether the pipe belongs to one lot or the common property.

Proof on paper

We photograph the damage and the finished repair, and the itemised invoice names the valve closed and every part fitted.

On this slope, water from one failed pipe can pass down through several storeys of old masonry, so a clear record of where it began saves argument later.

    Isolate and record

    We shut the faulty pipe, note which lots it affects and photograph each stage so the invoice has evidence behind it.

  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.

What Drives the Price of Strata Plumbing Work?

A strata job is priced on:

  • Keys, lifts and stairwell cupboards that need arranging
  • Lots on the failed pipe, since a shared riser means more isolation than one kitchen branch
  • Galvanised or clay pipe, which takes more care than PVC or copper
  • After-hours attendance at the after-hours rate

Housing That Answers to Committees

Old rows, new blocks

The Hill was laid out in 1823, and some of its grand old homes and terraces have since been turned into flats alongside new apartment blocks. The census counted 963 dwellings, and area-level figures record 1,353 approvals over five years.

Several owners, one pipe

Where a heritage terrace row shares one old clay sewer, a single choke stops every home on it, and a burst hose upstairs in a block can wet several flats below. That is why the reporting above names the pipe and the lots it touched.

"[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." Nandina

When We're Not the Right Call

Structure is a builder's call. Cracked masonry or a sagging floor on common property is for a builder. Before we alter any shared pipe, the owners corporation has to approve it, while a lot owner can book work inside their own unit.

Buildings with a shop or office on the ground floor are covered under commercial plumbing.

Questions Strata Committees Ask

Can a tenant in a unit here book you without the owner present?

Yes. Once the agent or owner has authorised the job, the tenant only needs to let us in. They get a message on the day, and the agent gets the photos and bill.

Who receives the photos and invoice on a strata job?

Whoever you nominate at booking, such as the strata manager, the owners corporation secretary or a lot owner. The invoice lists the valve we closed, each part fitted and why, which makes it easier to split the cost between common property and a lot.

Do you attend after-hours callouts in apartment buildings?

Yes, we are Available 24/7. A split flexi hose in an upper flat can wet the ceilings beneath it, so we shut the supply before anything else. Night and weekend work carries the after-hours rate, stated in the quote.

Is a leak inside one unit a strata job or the owner's?

That comes down to what the pipe serves. The by-laws and strata plan decide it, but a pipe feeding one lot is generally treated differently from a riser shared by several. Our report says exactly which pipe failed, so the strata manager can apply the rules.
