Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can you get to Ashfield quickly?

    We are based in Newtown and work across the Inner West every weekday, so Ashfield is well within our regular area. Same-day service is often available, depending on the job and our schedule. Call us between 7 am and 5 pm, Monday to Friday, and we will let you know when we can be there.

  • Water is leaking into the unit below mine. What should I do?

    Turn off the water to your unit if you can, or at the main meter, and let your neighbour and strata manager know straight away. Then call us during business hours so we can find the source and complete practical repairs. Read more about our emergency plumbing service.

  • My kitchen sink drains slowly. Is that a problem?

    A slow sink is often the first sign of a blockage forming, usually from food scraps, grease, or soap build-up. Left alone, it can get worse and lead to odours or an overflow. Avoid pouring fats down the sink, and if the problem keeps returning, we can find the cause and fix it before it becomes urgent.

  • Should I replace the flexible hoses under my sinks?

    Worn flexible hoses under sinks and basins can burst without warning, which is a serious risk in apartments where water can spread to other units. If your hoses are bulging, old, or rusty, it is worth having them checked. We can replace worn hoses and fittings during a routine maintenance visit.

  • Do you service suburbs near Ashfield?

    Yes. Along with Ashfield, we work in nearby suburbs including Croydon Park and Dulwich Hill, plus Ashbury, Croydon, Haberfield, and Summer Hill. You can see all the suburbs we serve on our service area page, or contact us for clear advice and an obligation-free quote.

  • Do you work on strata apartment buildings?

    Yes. Ashfield has plenty of apartment blocks, and we help owners, residents, and strata managers with blockages, hot water problems, and leaks. We assess the issue, explain whether it affects a single unit or shared services, and provide an obligation-free quote before any work begins.

  • Can you help restaurants with blocked kitchen drains?

    Yes. Food waste and grease are common causes of blocked drains in busy commercial kitchens. We investigate the blockage, identify the likely cause, and complete practical repairs to restore flow with as little downtime as possible. We can also suggest simple habits that help prevent the problem coming back.

  • Can you replace a hot water system in an apartment?

    Yes. Apartment hot water systems often sit in tight cupboards or on balconies, so the replacement needs to fit the space and suit how many people live there. We explain the options available, help you choose a practical solution, and complete the installation with care. Quotes are always obligation-free.

  • Do you repair gutters on older Ashfield homes?

    Yes. Many Ashfield Federation homes still have older gutters and downpipes that can leak, rust, or sag over time. We inspect the roof drainage, identify damaged components and water flow problems, and complete practical repairs to help protect your home from overflows and stormwater damage.

  • Do you only work on homes?

    No. We work with apartments, homes, offices, restaurants, and shops across Ashfield. Whether it is a household repair or a problem affecting your business, we explain what is wrong, what your options are, and what the work involves, then complete the job with careful workmanship and minimal disruption.
