Paddington plumbers for Queenslanders and renovations

If you have one of Paddington's older Queenslanders, you'll know that while they're beautiful, they're also full of surprises. Some of those surprises aren't so welcome, like learning that the new downstairs bathroom is joined to a cracked earthenware sewer pipe running under the house. We've seen it all before, and we'll help you find the best fix without turning your home upside down.

Your plumber will arrive in the window we give you, explain what's under there in plain terms, and give you a fixed price before any work starts. It's your home, not our worksite, and we leave it that way.

Raised, extended and joined to old pipes

Under a house that has been raised or built in underneath, new plumbing is often joined to much older sewer and stormwater lines, and those old joints are where tree roots get in. A camera inspection before you renovate shows what's there, and pipe relining can often fix a damaged line without digging up a new slab or garden.

Two-thirds of Paddington homes are houses (66.2% at the 2021 Census), some of them well over a century old. Council's heritage records date much of the suburb's growth to the late 1880s, like the house at 137 Fernberg Road built around 1889 on the subdivided Glenallan Estate, and Sheard's Bakery on Given Terrace.

Planning a new bathroom? Get us in early, so the plumbing is priced before the plans are locked in.

Water supply in Paddington

Paddington is supplied by Urban Utilities. The water is hard to moderately hard, so scale builds up inside hot water systems over the years. On the ridges, pressure can differ from street to street, and our guide on low water pressure explains the usual causes. Everything on your side of the water meter is yours to fix; a leak in the street or footpath goes to Urban Utilities on 13 23 64 (24/7).

More than two in five (42.8%) Paddington homes are rented. We can't take bookings from tenants, so if you rent, please contact your property manager or landlord first.

Paddington plumbing questions

Our new downstairs bathroom drains slowly. Is it the new pipes? +

Usually not. More often it's the old sewer line the new pipes have been joined to. A camera inspection shows exactly where the problem is.

Can a cracked earthenware sewer be fixed without digging up the slab? +

Often, yes. Pipe relining puts a new pipe inside the old one, so the slab, the garden and your new downstairs room stay as they are.

When should we bring a plumber into our Paddington renovation? +

Early, before the plans are locked in. Knowing where the old lines run and what state they're in can change where a new bathroom or laundry makes sense.

Why is the water pressure low in our Paddington house? +

Old pipes, a partly closed valve or worn fixtures are the usual culprits, and on the ridges the supply can vary from street to street. Our guide on why water pressure drops covers the causes, and we can check your side of the meter.
