Plumber Paddington work in heritage terraces
Almost every job here involves heritage drainage. Under most terraces, old earthenware or cast iron pipes run from the back of the house to the street, through joints that have shifted over a century or more. A plumber Paddington terraces need has to know what's under the floor before lifting anything, so a camera inspection comes first on drainage work. It shows where the problem sits, how deep it is and whether the pipe is sound either side of it.
Renovations on top of old pipes
Most Paddington terraces have been renovated more than once, and each round left its own layer of plumbing. New bathrooms and kitchens often connect to original pipework, and the joins between eras are where leaks and blockages start. As a plumber Paddington renovators can call before or after the builders, we trace the old run and tell you plainly what it'll take to connect new work properly.
Steep streets and stormwater
Many Paddington streets drop steeply, and terraces on the low side collect stormwater from everything above them. Courtyard pits, old downpipes and stormwater lines to the street block with leaves and silt, and water ends up against the back wall. We clear the pits, jet the lines and check them with a camera. For a plumber, Paddington's slopes make stormwater as important as the sewer.
Period homes and careful work
Paddington's period homes often have original features and expensive finishes. We protect floors and joinery, open as little as we can, and leave the house as we found it. Heritage controls can also limit what changes on the outside of a house, so we check before suggesting any new external pipe or vent. A plumber Paddington period homes book should leave nothing behind but the repair.
