What we sort in Manly
Hot Water
What we do here
Close to the bay, outdoor hot water units, valves and fittings deal with salty air on top of normal wear. When the hot water fails or the tank starts weeping, Dave works out whether it can be repaired and, if not, which electric, gas or continuous-flow replacement suits your household.
Blocked Drains
What we do here
Some of Manly's streets have had houses on them since the 1880s, and older sewer lines can crack or let roots in at the joints. We clear the blockage, then put a camera through so you see the cause for yourself before deciding on any repair.
Gas Fitting
What we do here
Gas cooktops, ovens, barbecue points, gas hot water and leak repairs. Dave is a licensed gas fitter, every connection is tested before we leave, and you get the gas compliance certificate for your records.
Emergency Plumber
What we do here
If water is coming through a ceiling, sewage is backing up or you can smell gas, call straight away. The line is answered 24/7, and the person you speak to is the licensed plumber handling the job.
Local knowledge
Plumbing in Manly
Manly is one of the original bayside suburbs: the Esplanade, the boat harbour and a grid of older streets running back from the water.
This page is for Manly in Queensland, postcode 4179, in Brisbane City Council's Wynnum Manly ward, not Manly in Sydney. The suburb runs along Moreton Bay with Wynnum to the north, Lota to the south and Manly West behind it, and about 4,300 people lived here at the 2021 census.
Whatever the job, the process is the same. Dave comes out, looks at the actual fault, explains your options and gives you the price before anything starts, with no separate call-out fee added on top. Manly's median age was 46 at the 2021 census, older than the Australian median, so it is also worth knowing that seniors and pensioners get a discount on plumbing, gas fitting and drain clearing. Just mention it when you book.
Land here was first sold off as the Manly Beach Estate in the 1880s, and Manly station opened with the Cleveland railway line in 1889.
So parts of the suburb have had houses on them for well over a century, and the boat harbour, built in 1958, is now home to marinas and yacht clubs. Older pipework in the heritage streets and salt air along the waterfront are both things we plan for.

Manly plumber and gas fitter
A small, established waterfront suburb where century-old streets sit a block back from the marinas.
Salt air and outdoor plumbing
Hot water units, outdoor taps and exposed fittings close to the water are worth checking for corrosion before they fail. A quick look during another job can save you a cold shower later.
Old sewer lines in older streets
In the streets laid out in the 1880s and 1890s, the drainage under the house may be decades old. If a drain keeps blocking, a camera inspection tells you whether it is roots, a broken pipe or a simple build-up.

Plumbing in Manly — common questions
Is this Manly in Brisbane or Manly in Sydney?
Brisbane. We are based in Wellington Point and service Manly QLD 4179 on the bayside. We don't work in Manly, New South Wales.
Can you install a gas cooktop and give us the compliance certificate?
Yes. Dave is a licensed gas fitter. He connects and tests the appliance and gives you the gas compliance certificate when the job is done.
Gas compliance certificates in Queensland: what they are and when you need one
Our hot water keeps running out. Is the tank too small?
Sometimes, but not always. A failing element or thermostat, a worn tempering valve or a household that has simply grown can all cause it. We check which one it is before recommending a repair or a bigger system.
Why your hot water runs out too fast (and what actually fixes it)
Is there a call-out fee to come to Manly?
No separate call-out fee is added. The price you are quoted already covers us coming out, and you get it before any work begins.
