The Team on This Run

Merewether Plumbing Co is the plumbing and gas team for Merewether, Hamilton South and The Junction in Newcastle. We clear blocked drains, repair and replace hot water systems, run gas lines and answer emergency calls day or night. Census figures count 4,588 dwellings here, close to a fifth of them flats or units, so a strata block gets the same care as a Federation cottage. More on who we are.

Six areas of work, each with its own page. We also fit gutter guards and handle commercial plumbing for the shops and cafes around the Llewellyn Street strip.

Old Steel, Old Cottages, Old Problems

Rust you can't see

The housing around Llewellyn Street and the Glebe runs from Late Victorian terraces through to inter-war bungalows, and many pre-1960s homes in that pocket still draw water through galvanised steel lines. Galvanised rusts from the inside out, so the pressure at the meter can be fine while the shower upstairs barely trickles.

Refits on refits

A century of renovations has pushed pipe runs behind walls and under floors in ways no plan ever recorded. That's why we look at the job in person before quoting, and why the drain camera earns its keep on these streets.

How Quotes Work

It means the invoice is the number you agreed to, not a surprise with extras bolted on.

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours).

What moves the number on a quote:

  • Access To the pipe or unit, including under-floor and roof-space work
  • Pipe material Because replacing galvanised differs from working with copper or PVC
  • Parts Priced for the system you actually have
  • After-hours Which carries the exclusion you see above

When we're not the right call. If the fault sits on the council side of the sewer main, or the job needs an electrician rather than a plumber, we send you to the right trade instead.

What Happens When You Call

  1. 1

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4063 1093 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 2

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 3

    The work gets done

    The plumber fixes or fits what was quoted using the gear already on board, tests it, and leaves the place tidy.

  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.

Rain, Sand and the Slope

Water runs downhill, fast

Homes on the Scenic Drive slopes and up the hill to Merewether Heights rely on graded drainage to carry runoff away, and the lower flats cop the lot when a coastal downpour hits. In intense storms, drains can surcharge and spill at gully traps on the low-lying streets, and pooling can collect near Glenrock Lagoon.

Sand is the usual suspect

On the beachside blocks, wind pushes dune sand straight into stormwater pits, so a pit that floods every winter is often choked rather than broken. If water gathers where it shouldn't, that's a drainage call, not a mopping job.

Things People Ask Before Booking

What does it cost to have someone come out?

It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours). Once we're there, you hear the full figure for the job before any tools come out, and nothing starts until you say go.

How fast can you get here?

Available 24/7. Ring (02) 4063 1093 with the details, and we ask enough questions to load the right gear before we confirm the booking. We don't put response times on paper, so you get a straight plan rather than a promise.

Can you fix a burst pipe at night?

Yes. Renovated kitchens and bathrooms here run flexi hoses that can burst while nobody is home. Close the main tap at the meter, ring (02) 4063 1093, and we'll step you through what to do next while a plumber heads your way.

Do you clear blocked drains on weekends?

Any day of the week. A stormwater pit packed with beach sand or a sewer backing up into an old Glebe cottage won't wait until Monday, so neither will we. The jetter and drain camera travel on every drain run.

Is your work guaranteed?

Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number. Keep the invoice handy when you call, since it lists exactly what was done on the day and when.

Which suburbs do you cover?

Our regular run takes in Hamilton South, The Junction, Bar Beach, Whitebridge and Highfields, plus Adamstown Heights, Kahibah and Charlestown. Name your street when you ring and we'll confirm you're on the run.
