Licensed Everton Park plumbers, same day service, and a $0 call out fee* to get one to your door.
A shower that has gone cold overnight. A gully that gurgles every time the washing machine empties. A cooktop that will not light on the first turn. None of it picks a convenient morning, and very little of it improves with waiting.
Ring us and you speak with our professional team, and 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, never a subcontractor we have never met. There is no call out fee* to get them to your door, so nothing is charged simply for having someone come and look at the problem properly. Before any tool comes out you get one written price for the whole job, and that is the figure on the invoice. No hourly rate climbing while we work out what is wrong, and nothing added at the end. Where a repair will hold up as well as a replacement, we say so and give you both numbers instead of steering you toward the bigger job.
Everton Park arrived all at once. There were 351 people living here in 1954 and 8,370 by 1976, so nearly every original house, sewer branch and water main in the suburb went in inside the same twenty year window. What has changed since is density. At the 2021 Census only 60 per cent of dwellings here were separate houses and a quarter were townhouses or similar attached homes, because the generous blocks around South Pine Road and Stafford Road have been steadily split and built over. So a lot of newer plumbing in Everton Park ties back into drainage laid decades earlier, and a line that once served one house now serves three.
Everything we install or repair is covered by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee, so if our work fails we come back and put it right. The Clean-Up Guarantee covers the rest, and the site is left tidy whether the job took an hour or a day.
If you need a plumber in Everton Park today, give Vanguard Plumbing & Gas a call to secure availability and our $0 call out fee*. Same day service is guaranteed, or you get $65 off the job.
Reviews are the one piece of our marketing we do not get to write. The ones below come from houses, townhouses and small businesses across Brisbane’s inner north west, and the theme running through them is fairly consistent. What people remember afterwards is rarely the plumbing itself. It is that we turned up inside the window we booked, explained the fault in plain words, and charged the number we quoted.
One licensed team for the whole property, so you are not chasing three trades and three invoices between you and a working house. The bread and butter plumbing fills most of our week, and blocked and backing-up drains and hot water repair and changeover are the two calls that come in most often.
Alongside those we do plenty of roof, gutter and downpipe replacement, gas cooktops, heaters and hot water, and shower leaks put right without a rebuild. Every job here starts with no call out fee* and one fixed price agreed before we begin.
Taps that drip, cisterns that keep running, pressure that sags the moment a second outlet opens, and the pipework sitting behind all of it. The unglamorous list that keeps a house working, and most of it finished inside a single visit.
Plenty of houses here have had two or three sets of hands through them since the sixties, so we check what is actually under the floor before we quote rather than assuming.
Floor wastes that empty slowly, a gully that bubbles when the washing machine drains, and the smell that turns up before the overflow does.
A camera goes down the line before we quote, because tree roots, a cracked section and a fat build-up look identical from the surface and cost very different amounts to put right. On a shared line it also shows whose side of the boundary the fault sits on.
Gas storage, continuous flow, electric and heat pump, serviced, repaired or replaced. As a rule of thumb a storage tank runs eight to twelve years and a continuous flow unit fifteen to twenty, though how it has been looked after moves that further than the badge on the front does.
Where a unit still has life in it we repair it. Where the cylinder has gone we say so plainly and quote the replacement.
Gutters, downpipes, valleys, flashings and the stormwater lines they feed. A roof that has been on since the suburb was built has usually had its guttering renewed at some point, with the line underneath left exactly as it was.
We follow the whole run from the roof to the legal point of discharge, because new guttering fixes nothing at all when the pipe it drains into is the actual fault.
Cooktops, ovens, gas hot water, heaters, bayonet points and the pipe runs feeding them, installed and pressure tested to the standards that apply to gas work in Queensland. New connections, changeovers and relocations included.
If you can smell gas, shut it off at the meter or the bottle first, then ring 0487 037 290 and leave the rest of it to us.
A stain creeping up the hallway skirting, a soft patch of floor outside the bathroom, or grout that stays dark for days after anyone has used the room. A shower leaking into the structure does its damage quietly.
Where the waterproofing has failed at the joints we can reseal without demolishing the room. Where it has gone further than that, you hear it from us before we start rather than halfway through.
A plumber gets judged on the second visit, not the first.
We keep the team small enough that the standard does not slip between jobs. No subcontractors, no hourly rate creeping upward while we work out what is wrong, and no distance between the number we quote and the number on the invoice. You can read what people have written on what people wrote after we left, and everything we cover is set out on the whole list of services.
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.
No call out fee* to get us to your door. Tell us what it is doing, we will work out what it needs, and you get one written price before anything starts. That holds on a leaking tap and on a full drain excavation alike. If water is disappearing somewhere and nobody can see where, start with narrowing a leak down before we open anything.
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:
Everton Park is a mix of long-held family homes and newer attached housing, and the two ask us for different things. Owners of the original houses want to know whether something is worth repairing or worth replacing properly, and would rather be told straight than sold the bigger job. In a townhouse the first question is usually whose pipe it is, because the fault can sit on common property rather than inside your own lot. That is a conversation with a body corporate, and we handle it as part of the job.
The businesses here are mostly small, the shops and food outlets around the Stafford Road corner, where a blocked line stops trading on the spot. When it genuinely cannot wait, that is what our emergency plumbing crew are for.
Six steps, and they run the same way on a dripping tap as they do on a full sewer repair. You will know what is happening, and what it costs, before anyone picks up a tool.
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, the garden protected and the gate shut behind us. Where we have had to open up a driveway or a lawn to reach a line, putting it back is part of the job and not an extra.
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.
A few of the things people around Everton Park ask us before they book anything in.
Getting us there costs nothing. We charge no call out fee*, so there is no fee simply for having a licensed plumber come and diagnose the problem. Once we know what the job actually is, you get one fixed price for the whole job. Say yes to it and that is what you pay, with nothing added on afterwards.
Usually, and we put money behind it. If we do not reach you the same day, you get $65 off the job. Ringing earlier in the day gives us the best chance of it. If water is actively running somewhere it should not be, call 0487 037 290 rather than filling in the form.
It depends where the blockage sits. Inside your own lot it is yours, and on common property it is the body corporate’s, which is why the camera survey matters before anyone quotes. A great many of the newer complexes here were built over older house blocks, so the branch line from a townhouse can run a surprising distance before it reaches the main. We put the footage in front of you and tell you which side of the boundary the fault is on, then you know who is paying for what. There is more on clearing blocked drains and sewer chokes.
One of our own licensed plumbers. Vanguard does not subcontract, and we hold QBCC licence 15578913. Under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2018, regulated plumbing work in Queensland has to be carried out by a licensed plumber or drainer, so it is not a matter of preference. Every job is backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee.
Most people have more than one thing on the list, and a single visit usually clears the lot. Send through a request for a call back and our friendly team will be in touch to organise getting a plumber to you.
Everton Park sits in the middle of Brisbane’s inner north west, and most of what surrounds it is a short run rather than a separate trip. If we are already on a job in one of these streets, the suburb next door is the same morning.
Chermside and Aspley are close enough that we are often in the area anyway. Wavell Heights, Clayfield and Ascot sit further east along our regular route across the northside, and we are through all three most weeks.
Everywhere else we cover is listed on the suburbs on our list. Not certain whether your street is inside it? Call 0487 037 290 and we will tell you on the spot.
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.
