Services

Plumbing and gas, one call.

A one stop shop for Ipswich homes and businesses: repairs, installations and maintenance, plumbing and gas, done to a standard and priced fairly.

01

Blocked drains

Slow sinks, gurgling toilets, water backing up in the yard. We clear blocked drains and sort the ongoing water flow problems that keep coming back.

02

Gas fitting and installation

Gas installations, appliance connections, stovetops and gas flow problems, completed to Australian safety standards and compliance requirements.

Reviews mention: gas stovetop repair, gas flow repair, gas installation

03

Gas hot water repairs

No hot water, or a pilot that won't stay lit. We find the fault and get the hot shower back.

Google review: "repair it same afternoon as the initial call"

04

Leaks and tap repairs

Dripping taps, leaking pipes and the small jobs that turn into big water bills. Fixed properly the first time, not patched.

05

Home plumbing and maintenance

Residential repairs, new installations and routine maintenance for Ipswich homes, from a single tap to the whole system.

06

Commercial plumbing

Repairs, installations and maintenance for commercial properties, with the same prompt service and focus on long-term reliability.

How it works

No runaround. Four steps.

The way customers describe it: responsive, honest, explains everything, gets the job done.

  1. Call or text

    Ring 0417 637 304, 7 days from 6am. Can't talk? Text instead.

  2. Send a photo

    A quick photo of the drain, tap or hot water unit tells us what to bring, so the first visit can be the fix.

  3. We explain it

    You hear what's wrong and what it takes to fix it before the work starts. No jargon.

  4. Fixed properly

    Repaired, tested and working. If the problem is complex, we stay on it until it's solved.

We are very happy customers! We got our gas hot water system fixed- it would not stay lit. Ricky responded quickly and was able to come over and repair it same afternoon as the initial call which helped us greatly. Finally can have a hot shower again. We will be sticking with Ricky as our go to plumber :)

We used Ricky's services today, and couldn't have asked for better professionalism. He well and truly over delivered - and despite a complex problem, never gave up until he had it solved. Very helpful all round, explained everything and a great tradesman in to the bargain. See you next time Ricky

FAQ

Straight answers.

Can't see your question? Call or text 0417 637 304.

Where are you based?

We're based in Ipswich, Queensland, and we come to you. There's no shopfront, so the quickest way to reach us is to call or text 0417 637 304.

What are your hours?

We're open 7 days. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 6am to 6pm, Thursday 6:30am to 6pm, and Saturday and Sunday 6am to 5pm.

Do you do urgent or emergency call-outs?

Call 0417 637 304 for urgent jobs and we'll tell you straight away how quickly we can get there. One customer's gas hot water system was repaired the same afternoon they called.

Are you a licensed gasfitter?

Yes. We work as plumbers and qualified gasfitters, and gas installations are completed to Australian safety standards and compliance requirements. Ask for licence details when you call and we'll provide them.

Can you fix a gas hot water system that won't stay lit?

Yes. Gas hot water repairs are a regular job for us. Call with the brand and what it's doing, and we'll come out, find the fault and fix it.

Do you clear blocked drains?

Yes. Drainage is one of our core services, from a single blocked drain to ongoing water flow problems that keep coming back.

Do you install and repair gas cooktops and appliances?

Yes. Gas installations and gas repairs are part of the job, including stovetops and gas flow problems. Gas work in Queensland must be done by a licensed gasfitter, so it's not a job for a mate with a spanner.

Do you work on commercial properties?

Yes. We look after residential and commercial properties, with repairs, installations and maintenance for both.

How do I get a quote?

Call or text 0417 637 304. A photo of the problem by text helps us tell you what's involved before we arrive.
