Newcastle Plumbing FAQs

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • Can I do plumbing work by myself?

    It's normal to consider wanting to go DIY on your home's plumbing in order to save money. And, in some situations, that can be a good idea if you have the necessary skills and materials at your disposal.


    However, most plumbing activities without a licence can get you into a lot of trouble.


    According to the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011, anyone caught completing plumbing works without a licence could be subject to hefty fines.


    Overall, the risk is not worth it! If your plumbing system were to fail and you had to file an insurance claim, the insurer could find out about the unlicensed work and choose not to cover you. Not to mention, if you plan on selling your home in the future, any unlicensed work done now could nullify product warranties and create a headache later on. So when plumbing comes into question, let the experts handle it.

  • How many years have you been working in the plumbing industry?

    I have been working in the plumbing industry since 2001. I am experienced with housing, civil work, and plumbing maintenance. I have a plumbing, drainage, and roofing licence.


    Previously I’ve worked for large businesses, but I realised that I could do better quality work at a lower price. Also, because I work for myself, I can give my clients personalised services and tips that will help them avoid problems in the future.


    In 2010, I founded Down to Earth Plumbing Maintenance. From then until now, our company has become known for qualities such as being reliable and providing quality work. In addition, we offer personalised services and always leave the worksite clean afterwards.


    We want Down to Earth Plumbing Maintenance to be known as the business that treats clients with respect and offers service with a friendly smile. That's why we're a highly trusted plumbing company in the Newcastle Area.

  • Is the plumbing company properly licensed?

    Because the plumbing industry is always advancing, those who work in it need to commit to learning new techniques and technologies. We take this obligation very seriously, and we devote a significant amount of time and effort to keeping our staff up-to-date on the newest techniques.


    We offer a complete range of services that include plumbing, heating, and drainage. We also have a valid and current licence and insurance, so you know you're in good hands whenever you deal with us. When it comes to your plumbing needs, you can trust us because we are the firm to call.

  • Do you offer same-day services?

    At Down to Earth Plumbing Maintenance, we believe that providing our customers with the highest level of quality service and craftsmanship is paramount. We take pride in what we do and are constantly seeking out ways to improve. One way we deliver on this commitment is by offering same-day service for urgent matters.


    We always come prepared with a stocked-up truck, so unless a special order is needed, we can finish the job in one day. Our plumbers are able to work quickly and efficiently without delays as they are fully equipped with all the usual parts that tend to solve common issues.


    As a result, you can rest assured that your urgent works will be completed correctly and on the same day you contact us. So don't hesitate to call us if you need a fast, expert plumbing service. We'll be delighted to assist you.

  • What are the costs involved with plumbing services?

    We believe in delivering high-quality plumbing services at a fair price. Before we begin, we'll give you a full explanation of our costs, so there are no unpleasant surprises. We promise to be honest about our prices so that you can make a good decision about your plumbing needs and budget.


    Prices for our services are based on the circumstances of the job. Unfortunately, there is no way to provide accurate estimates without examining each situation individually. Below are some examples of how jobs can differ:


    • We diagnosed that Lizzie’s toilet was not flushing because there was too much slack in the lift chain inside of the cistern. Once we shortened it, the toilet flushed perfectly.

    • We diagnosed that Billy’s toilet wasn't flushing due to a blockage in the water pipe located in the wall. Since this was inside the wall, we had to unplumb the toilet and clear the drain with a drain snake. Once this was completed, we plumbed back where it was and it flushed perfectly.

    These are but two examples that are presenting the same problem, however, requiring two very different solutions. This is why pricing can vary from job to job.
