## What we do not take on
- We are plumbers and gas fitters. We do not do asbestos removal. Where a job requires cutting into material that may contain bonded asbestos, the removal is referred to a licensed asbestos removalist before we continue.
- We do not do roof replacement, tiling, waterproofing membranes as a standalone trade, or electrical work beyond disconnection and reconnection of the systems we install.
- We do not quote plumbing sight-unseen on a job that needs a camera or a pressure test. Where a phone diagnosis is not honest, we say so.
- We do not service commercial kitchens, industrial process pipework, or fire services.
- We do not charge an after-hours surcharge that was not disclosed on the phone before attending.

## Services
- 24/7 emergency plumbing - burst pipes, major leaks, sewage backups, gas smells
- Blocked drains - clearing, jetting, CCTV camera inspection with footage handed over
- Reading existing building documentation before charging to rediscover it
- Pipe relining, decided from drawings and footage together where both exist
- Leak detection in apartments and older houses, which are two different searches
- Hot water repairs and replacement, with the scheme's constraints established first
- Gas fitting, with the supply confirmed before anything is quoted or ordered

## Local knowledge (Abbotsford specifics)
- **The defining local fact: half the suburb was a factory.** Abbotsford sits on the peninsula between Abbotsford Bay and Hen and Chicken Bay on the Parramatta River, about 10km west of the CBD in the City of Canada Bay, and is home to roughly **5,500 people**.
- **Abbotsford House was built in 1890** by Sir Arthur Renwick, a doctor, philanthropist and politician who named it after Walter Scott's house. **In 1918 the property became the site of a Nestle factory**, described for decades as the largest chocolate factory in the southern hemisphere.
- **The factory closed in 1991** and the estate was redeveloped as medium-density residential apartments known as **Abbotsford Cove**, with the historic house preserved.
- **The plumbing consequence: one small peninsula holds two building stocks with almost nothing in common**, and the line between them is sharp rather than a gradient.
- **The estate was designed and serviced as a single scheme.** Purpose-built medium density from the 1990s was documented as a whole, so the drawings generally describe what was actually installed rather than what somebody intended. **That is genuinely unusual and it is worth using rather than ignoring.**
- **The older detached housing predates all of it** and was serviced lot by lot in the ordinary way, with the ordinary gaps in what anybody recorded. There the camera does the work no paperwork can.
- **So the correct first move depends on which side of that line a property sits.** Read the documentation, or look. Those are different jobs rather than different degrees of the same one, and knowing which situation you are in saves money before anything else happens.
- **For relining that matters twice over.** A decision needs two pieces of information: where the line runs and what condition it is in. Most properties can only supply the second. On this estate you can frequently have both, which is a better basis for a decision than either alone.
- **Leak searches differ the same way.** In an apartment, water travels along a slab before it drops, so the home reporting damage is usually below the fault. Where documentation exists it narrows that considerably before anybody knocks on a neighbour's door.
- **Hot water was settled once for the whole scheme** in the estate, at construction, so what an individual owner can change is constrained by that and by the owners corporation. The older houses each decided for themselves over decades and are much more open.
- **Gas is answered differently on each side too**: a development settles it once for every apartment at construction, while the older houses were connected, or not, individually.
- **The honest limit, stated plainly: we do not speculate about the former factory land, its remediation or its ground conditions.** We have no evidence and it would be invented. We also do not treat the two building stocks as one, which is the whole point.
- Sydney's water is soft, so a failed hot water system here is a spent anode or element rather than limescale.
