Gutter replacement, downpipe repair, roof leaks and rainwater plumbing. Whether you’re calling for the first time or you’ve been a client for 20 years, the same team handles the call, the diagnosis, and the work. No tiered “senior vs junior” rates — just qualified, licensed, insured plumbers who do this every day across Northside Brisbane.
In Queensland, yes — roof plumbing is a licensed plumbing discipline. That includes gutters, downpipes, rainwater heads, box gutters, flashings around penetrations, and rainwater tank connections. Anyone touching them under a renovation should be a licensed plumber, not a general handyman, and the work needs Form 4 sign-off.
Twice a year for most Brisbane homes — once before storm season (October) and once mid-year. If you’ve got jacarandas, gum trees or pine needles overhead, four times a year is more realistic. Blocked gutters are the number one cause of fascia rot and roof-leak claims we get to assess in autumn.
Yes — it’s usually the right call when one section has gone. Modern Colorbond gutter is much faster to install than the old galvanised, and matching new sections to old often looks worse than a clean replacement. We’ll quote both options — spot replacement vs. whole-house — and you decide.
Usually a flashing or hidden gutter issue rather than the gutter itself. Common culprits are missing or rotted gutter aprons, rusted-through valley irons, and improperly sealed roof penetrations. We’ll get up there, inspect, photograph, and quote — rust spots can usually be cut out and patched, but rotted timber fascia behind the gutter often needs a carpenter as well.
Yes — rainwater tank installation, repairs, and connection to garden, toilet or laundry. We’ll size the tank to your roof catchment, put in a first-flush diverter and overflow, and connect it through a proper backflow prevention setup so you’re Council-compliant. Existing tanks we can also retrofit a pump and pressure switch so it actually delivers usable water.
If it’s actively leaking inside the home, we treat it as a priority — usually same-day or next-day. We’ll often do a quick temporary fix (silicone, patch flashing) to stop the immediate damage and then come back for the proper repair when materials are sourced. Don’t wait for the next storm to find out it wasn’t fixed.
Yes — we work around solar regularly. We won’t touch the panels themselves (that’s a job for a licensed solar electrician) but we can re-flash around them, sort out water ingress at the panel feet, and re-bed any tiles that have shifted from the install. Where we genuinely need a panel removed, we coordinate with your solar provider.
