Licensed plumbers in Cannon Hill, same day service, and a $0 call out fee* just to get one on site.
A hot water unit that died quietly overnight. A gully overflowing down the side of the house. A tap you have stopped hearing because it has dripped for a year. Some of it can wait. Most of it should not.
Ring us and you speak with our professional team. You get a real arrival window instead of a vague half day. Whoever we send is one of our own licensed plumbers working under QBCC licence 15578913, because we do not hand jobs to subcontractors. There is no call out fee* to get them to you. Once they have seen the problem you get one fixed price for the whole job, agreed before anything starts, and it is the same figure that turns up on the invoice. If the cheaper repair is the right answer, that is the one we will put in front of you.
Cannon Hill is not quite four square kilometres, and it does two jobs in that space. Wynnum Road carries three shopping centres, the oldest of them trading since 1973, and the residential streets sit directly behind them. Before the retail arrived this was Brisbane’s saleyards and meatworks district, right up until the yards closed in 1991 and the land they stood on was built out as housing. So a single morning here can take us from a commercial kitchen’s drainage to a pre-war cottage a few hundred metres away, and then to something put up in the last thirty years on ground that used to be stockyards. Three generations of pipework inside one small suburb.
Everything we install or repair carries our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee, so if our work fails we come back and put it right at no cost to you. We leave the place tidy under our Clean-Up Guarantee.
If you are looking for a plumber in Cannon Hill today, give Vanguard Plumbing & Gas a call to secure availability and our $0 call out fee*.
Word travels faster here than anything we could pay for. Someone has us out for a blocked drain, mentions it at work or over the fence, and that is how the next three jobs arrive. The reviews below come from homes and businesses across Brisbane’s eastern suburbs. What people write about is rarely the pipework. It is turning up on time, explaining the job plainly, and an invoice that matches the quote.
One licensed team across houses, units and the businesses along the main road. The routine plumbing work fills most of the week. Drain unblocking and CCTV inspection and hot water system repairs are the two we are called to most in Cannon Hill. Alongside them we do plenty of gas plumbing and gas appliance work, leak location when a bill climbs for no obvious reason, and toilet repairs and replacements. Commercial or residential, it starts with no call out fee* and a fixed price agreed in advance.
Taps that will not stop dripping, a cistern that refills by itself at two in the morning, pressure that falls away when a second outlet opens, and the small leaks that only ever announce themselves on the bill.
It is unglamorous work and it is most of what keeps a house or a shopfront running the way it should. Booked once, priced once, and finished in the one visit wherever the job allows.
Gully overflows, floor wastes that drain slowly, and the smell that arrives first. A commercial kitchen brings its own version, where grease builds along the branch line rather than roots finding a joint.
A camera goes down before we quote, because roots, grease, a collapsed section and a belly of standing water are four different jobs at four different prices. You will know which before we start.
Electric, gas storage, continuous flow and heat pump, repaired or replaced. As a rule of thumb a storage tank gives eight to twelve years and a continuous flow unit fifteen to twenty, though servicing shifts that more than the brand does.
Where a unit has life left in it we repair it and say so. Where the cylinder is gone we quote a new one rather than charge you to keep nursing the old one along.
Cooktops, ovens, gas hot water, heaters and outdoor burners, connected, relocated or repaired, on natural gas or LPG. Gas is regulated plumbing work in Queensland, not something to hand to a handyman.
We pressure test the line and check the appliance before we leave, and the price is in writing beforehand. Commercial kitchens and shop fit-outs included. More on gas work.
A bill that climbed with nothing changing in the household. A meter still ticking over with every tap shut. A damp patch on a wall, or paint lifting somewhere it never used to.
We locate it with acoustic and thermal equipment rather than opening up walls and floors on a guess, then quote the repair on what we have actually found instead of what we suspect might be there.
Tapware, pans, cisterns, vanities and laundry tubs, supplied and fitted or installed from what you have bought yourself. Shop and cafe amenities count here too, and those usually need doing outside trading hours.
Send us a photo or a model number first and we will confirm it suits the existing holes and outlets before the day rather than on it. See tapware repairs.
Advertising gets you one job. The second one comes from how the first went.
We keep the team small enough that the standard holds, and the plumber who arrives is ours rather than a subcontractor. No hourly rate creeping upward while somebody diagnoses the fault, and no daylight between the quote and the invoice. There is plenty from past customers to read, and everything we cover is listed on our services page.
Nothing is charged simply for getting a licensed plumber to your door and having them look at the problem.
Same day service is guaranteed. If we do not get to you the same day, you get $65 off the job. Booking in the morning gives us the best shot at it.
One written figure for the whole job, agreed before anyone picks up a tool. No hourly rate ticking over while we diagnose, and nothing added at the end because we happened to already be on site.
Every job carries our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee. If our work fails, we come back and put it right. That is workmanship, and it does not quietly expire.
Whoever turns up is one of our own, working under QBCC licence 15578913. Regulated plumbing work in Queensland has to be done by a licensed plumber or drainer under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2018.
Drop sheets down before we start, old parts out when we finish, and the site left tidy either way. Anything that had to be lifted, moved or opened up to reach the fault gets put back properly rather than left for you to deal with.
There is no call out fee* to get us on site. Tell us what it is doing, we will work out what it actually needs, and you get one written price before anything begins. That holds for a house, a unit or a shopfront.
Whether it’s a small or a big job, we’re a local business built for locals just like you. We stand behind all our jobs and the following commitments you can count on, day or night:
Houses here run from pre-war cottages near the station through to places put up in the last couple of decades, and the questions differ accordingly. Owners want to know whether a thing is worth fixing or worth replacing properly. Renters and property managers want it booked once, done once and invoiced once. We work to both, and we tell you which of the two you are actually facing.
The commercial side is a genuine part of our week here. Cafes, takeaways, offices and retail tenancies need work scheduled around trading, so we start early or finish late wherever the job allows. If something has already let go and the doors cannot open, our emergency plumbers are the call, and there is more on burst pipes if that is what has happened.
Six steps, whether it is a dripping mixer in a laundry or a hot water unit that has failed behind a shop. You know the plan and the price before work starts.
Tell us what it is doing. We book a real arrival window rather than a vague half day.
Camera down the drain, meter checked, unit opened up. We find the actual fault rather than guessing at it.
One written figure for the whole job. You approve it before any work starts.
Drop sheets down and the site protected. In a trading business that also means keeping the area usable and leaving it clean between stages.
Run it, watch it drain, check the temperature. You see it working before we pack up.
Old parts out, site left tidy, and the Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee recorded against the job.
What people around Cannon Hill ask before they book. Plain answers, no sales pitch.
Getting us there costs nothing. There is no call out fee*, so you are not paying simply to have a licensed plumber come and look at it. After that it is a single fixed price for the job, agreed before anyone picks up a tool, and that number does not move.
Usually, and there is money behind it. If we do not get to you the same day, you get $65 off the job. Ringing earlier in the day gives us the best shot at it. If water is actively coming in, call rather than filling in the form.
Both, and a fair share of our Cannon Hill week is commercial. Shops, cafes, takeaways, offices and tenancies along the main road sit inside the same trip as the houses behind them. Commercial work usually needs scheduling around trading hours, so tell us when you are open and we will fit the job around that rather than the other way around.
Often, yes. A partial blockage lets water past but holds solids and grease, and the smell escapes long before anything overflows. A floor waste trap that has dried out will do much the same thing. We camera the line to see which of the two it is, because clearing a drain that was never blocked fixes nothing and you would be paying for it twice.
QBCC licence 15578913, held by Vanguard, and the plumber who arrives is one of ours rather than a subcontractor. The Plumbing and Drainage Act 2018 requires regulated plumbing and drainage work in Queensland to be carried out by a licensed plumber or drainer. Everything we do is backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee.
One visit can clear the whole list. Send through a request for a call back and our friendly team will be in touch to organise getting a plumber to you. Same day service is guaranteed, or you get $65 off the job.
Cannon Hill sits close to the middle of our patch, and everything around it is a short run rather than a separate trip. If we are booked in here, the neighbouring streets are almost always the same day.
You can see how we handle the post-war housing through Morningside, the elevated blocks up in Balmoral, and the low-set homes across Carina.
North-east of the suburb we work through Murarrie, and Seven Hills is just as close to the south-west.
Everywhere we cover is listed on our service area page. If you are not sure whether your street is in it, call 0487 037 290 and we will tell you straight away.
No Call Out Fee*, a fixed price agreed before we start, and same-day service guaranteed or you get $65 off.
Everything below runs alongside the $0 call out fee*, the fixed price up front and the lifetime workmanship guarantee. One $65 discount applies per job, whichever way you qualify for it.
