Ashfield has two kinds of plumbing: big Federation and interwar houses on leafy streets, and blocks of flats along Liverpool Road and around the station. Help Plumbing is a plumber Ashfield homeowners, tenants and strata managers book for both, from our base in Earlwood. You get a licensed plumber, and the price comes before any work starts. Call (02) 9538 7878.
Plumber Ashfield work in Federation and interwar houses
Many Ashfield houses are a century old or close to it. Expect clay sewer lines, galvanised water pipes that have narrowed with rust, and bathrooms renovated two or three times over the original plumbing. A plumber Ashfield homes like these call should check the whole run before quoting.
Large trees on Ashfield's older streets mean roots in sewer lines are common. Clearing them is quick with a jetter, and a camera shows whether the pipe needs more than that. See blocked drains in Ashfield.
Walk-up flats near the station
Ashfield's walk-up blocks from the 1960s and 70s share stacks and risers, and many still have original fittings. A blockage in a shared stack backs up into the lowest flats first, and hot water units in these blocks are often near the end of their life. As a plumber Ashfield strata managers can call, we work with the building on access and itemise invoices by lot and common property. If a flat's hot water runs out early or the tank is rusting at the base, we check whether it's the owner's unit or common property before quoting.
Low water pressure in older homes
Weak pressure is a common complaint in older Ashfield houses. Galvanised pipes corrode on the inside and narrow over time, and a blocked aerator or a faulty pressure limiting valve can do the same. We test the supply first, because a plumber Ashfield homes book for low pressure shouldn't guess at new pipes.
Hot water in small laundries
Older Ashfield homes often have the hot water unit squeezed into a small laundry or against an outside wall. When it fails, the replacement has to fit the same space. A plumber Ashfield homeowners trust will measure up and price the options before anything is ordered, and our licensed gas fitters certify any gas work.
Gas heaters and cooktops in older homes
Plenty of older Ashfield homes still run gas heaters, bayonet points and cooktops that have been in place for decades. A pilot that keeps going out is usually a worn thermocouple, and a yellow flame means the appliance needs a service. Our licensed gas fitters check, repair and certify gas work, and a plumber Ashfield homes book for gas should leave a Compliance Certificate every time. We recommend a safety check every 2 years.

Plumber Ashfield FAQs
Do you work in the flats along Liverpool Road?
Yes, for owners, tenants and strata managers. Working with the strata manager is standard for a plumber Ashfield unit blocks book.
Why is my water pressure so low?
In older homes it's usually galvanised pipes narrowing inside, a blocked aerator or a faulty pressure limiting valve. We test to find which before quoting, so a plumber Ashfield residents call isn't replacing pipes that are fine.
Can you come today?
Often, during standard hours. Call (02) 9538 7878 and a plumber Ashfield homes can rely on will give you a time.
Who will come out?
A licensed plumber from a business run by its owners, Thomas and James. We hold NSW Plumbing Licence 489072C and carry $10 million public liability insurance.
Do you replace old galvanised pipes?
Yes, where testing shows they're the problem. We price it before we start, and you decide.
