Personable, professional and meticulous serviceThe staff I encountered were all pleasant and honest. The plumber worked hard to repair my old unit, and was almost apologetic when he couldn't get the 20plus year old U it to work. The changeover to the new system was handled efficiently and all mess was cleaned up.

Very responsive to my initial call, a technician arrived the same morning, calling to arrange a suitable time. Kept us informed and fixed the leaking pipework to an outside tap very quickly and efficiently. We were very happy with the service provided and definitely recommend.

I had Adam come out to troubleshoot a gas fault, and he was courteous, punctual (unfortunately a lacking trait amongst most trades these days), professional and obviously very experienced & skilled at what he does. Very affordable for the fantastic service he provides. Highly recommended, thanks Adam!

My gas oven malfunctioned and the gas could not be turned off or the gas flow terminated. The service was incredibly prompt. The plumber was polite, helpful and an easy going guy who happily locked up my home once he was done. He offered to support me going forward in choices of new ovens etc, and I will definitely use Adam P&G going forward. Thank you - a stressful situation made very manageable very quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs of a blocked drain?

  • Slow draining sinks
  • Unpleasant odours coming from the drain
  • Gurgling sounds coming from the pipes
  • You have a blocked toilet or notice a change in the water levels in the toilet bowl
  • You can hear the sound of running water even when taps are switched off
  • You notice water pooling around the property, especially near stormwater drains

What are common causes of blocked drains?

In most cases, a thorough clear out is needed for the following blockages: tree root intrusion, clogs (e.g. from solid matter, toilet paper, wipes, sanitary napkins, fats and grease, garden waste, kids' toys).

In other situations, you may see blockages arise from damaged, misaligned or broken pipes or shifting soil.

How do you clear a blocked drain?

It is relatively easy to clear a small blockage in a drain using basic tools purchased from the hardware store. However, if you are unsure about the cause of the blockage, or suspect you have a more serious problem, please contact one of our friendly plumbers.

We will come over and make an initial assessment of the drain and blockage using a CCTV camera to determine the condition of the drain, and the nature of the blockage. Then we come up with possible solutions to fix the problem, and give you a quote. This can potentially include simply removing a blockage, or drain relining, replacement or excavation.

We normally use a high pressure hydrojet (water jet) to blast tough blockages into small pieces, which are then removed by a mechanical drain cleaner.

How can I prevent a blocked drain?

By being mindful of what you pour down the drains, especially larger sized objects which can cause clogs, and substances which can stick together and to the pipes (see the list of common causes of blocked drains).

We also offer a non-intrusive pipe/drain relining service to reseal damaged drains which are otherwise structurally sound, to reinforce and extend the life of the drain.
