Licensed plumbers across Mt Gravatt and Upper Mt Gravatt, out the same day, with a $0 call out fee* to get one to you.
No hot water on a Tuesday morning. A shower that has started staining the wall behind it. A gully out the back that will not clear. Plumbing rarely picks a good week to go wrong.
So we run same day service across Mt Gravatt and put money behind it. If we do not reach you the same day, you get $65 off the job. Call and you speak with our professional team, and you get a real arrival window rather than a vague half day.
The plumber who arrives is one of ours rather than a subcontractor, working under QBCC licence 15578913, and there is no call out fee* to get them on site. You get one written price for the whole job before anything starts, and it does not move between the quote and the invoice. If there is a cheaper repair that will hold, we will point at it.
Mt Gravatt is built on a hillside. The 195 metre rise the suburb takes its name from has been reserved since 1893, and the streets wrap around its flanks, which means fall, retaining walls and stormwater that has to be aimed somewhere sensible. The housing came straight after the Second World War, when the Chester estate near Selborne Street was subdivided and the tram was pushed out to Selborne Road in 1951. Homes of that vintage are where we still find original galvanised supply pipe, which narrows from the inside as it corrodes and shows up as weak pressure or discoloured water rather than as a leak. South of Broadwater Road, Upper Mt Gravatt is a different job again, because Garden City opened in 1970 and the unit blocks, townhouses and shopfronts followed it along Logan Road.
Every repair and every installation carries our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee, and we leave the place tidier than a plumbing job has any right to leave it, which is the Clean-Up Guarantee.
If you are after a plumber in Mt Gravatt today, give Vanguard Plumbing & Gas a call to secure availability and our $0 call out fee*. Tell us what it is doing and we will book a window.
Work here reaches us the way it has always reached local trades, which is one neighbour telling another over a fence. The reviews below are from houses, townhouses and businesses right across the district. The thing people write about is almost never the plumbing. It is that the arrival window held, the job was explained in plain words, and the invoice matched the quote.
One licensed team for the whole list, on post-war houses, newer townhouses and the shopfronts along Logan Road. The bread and butter repairs make up most weeks, taps and cisterns and pressure and the pipework behind them. Chokes, slow drains and root damage and hot water that has given up are the two calls we take most often. We also cover cooktop, oven and gas heater connections, bathroom fit-offs and resealing work, and putting a number on where the leak is when a bill jumps. No call out fee* to start, and one fixed price agreed first.
Leaking taps, cisterns that never stop filling, mixers that lose their temperature halfway through a shower, and pressure that drops away when a second outlet opens. The unglamorous work that keeps a house liveable.
On a post-war home the supply lines have often been added to three or four times over seventy years, so we trace what is actually feeding what before recommending anything.
Gullies that pond after rain, a floor waste that burps when the machine drains, and the smell that gives it away first. On a sloping block a partial blockage can hide for months, because the fall keeps pushing just enough through.
We put a camera down before quoting, so you find out whether it is roots, a fractured section, a sag holding water or grease, and price only the fault you actually have.
Gas storage, continuous flow, electric and heat pump, serviced, repaired or swapped out. Treat eight to twelve years as a fair innings for a storage tank and fifteen to twenty for continuous flow, keeping in mind that servicing shifts those numbers more than the brand ever does.
If it can be repaired we repair it. If the cylinder has gone we tell you and quote the changeover.
Tapware, pans, cisterns and vanities, supplied and fitted or installed from what you have already picked out. In a house of this era the set-out under the sink rarely matches anything sold today, which is where fit-offs come unstuck.
Send a model number ahead of the day and we will check it first. See worn spindles and leaking mixers or toilets that rock, run or block.
Cooktops, ovens, gas hot water, space heaters and outdoor points, along with the lines that feed them. A lot of kitchens around here picked up gas during a renovation rather than being built with it, so the run to the appliance is often the newest pipe in the house.
Everything we connect is commissioned and tested to the standard, and the paperwork comes to you with the invoice.
Dark marks creeping up the skirting in the next room, tiles that sound hollow, or a grout line that stays wet long after the shower is off. Original bathrooms of this age were often waterproofed to a standard nobody would accept now.
We work out whether it is a tired silicone joint or the membrane underneath before quoting, because a shower that is leaking into the next room can be either.
Plumbers do not earn repeat work with advertising. They earn it on the second visit, when the standard turns out to be the same as the first.
We keep the team small enough that it does not drift. Nothing gets handed to a subcontractor, no hourly rate creeps upward while the fault is being worked out, and the number quoted is the number invoiced. Have a look at the feedback customers left us, or the rest of the list.
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 to the door. Describe what it is doing, we will work out what it needs, and one written price comes back before anything is touched. That is the same on the hillside streets as it is in a Logan Road unit block.
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:
The older streets are mostly owner-occupied, and long-held. People here have usually lived with a quirk in the plumbing for years and want to know whether it is finally worth fixing properly or whether it will keep. We answer that honestly, even when the honest answer is that it will keep.
Upper Mt Gravatt shifts the work again. Townhouses and unit blocks mean the isolation valve may not be yours alone and the fault can sit on common property, which is a body corporate conversation before anyone lifts a spanner. The retail and office tenancies through the centre need work slotted between trading hours, and where something has already let go, a pipe that has split gets treated as urgent rather than scheduled.
Six steps, and they do not change between a blocked gully and a hot water changeover. You will know what is happening and what it costs before a tool comes out of the van.
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 yard protected and the gate left as we found it. On a sloping block that includes making good any ground we had to open along the way.
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.
Six things people ask us before they book. Straight answers, no sales pitch.
Nothing for the visit itself. There is no call out fee*, so having a licensed plumber come and look at the problem costs you nothing. The job is then quoted as one fixed figure for the whole job, agreed in writing before we start, and that is what you pay at the end.
Yes. This page covers Mt Gravatt and Upper Mt Gravatt together, because we work both as one area and the drive between them is a few minutes. Whether you are on the hillside streets or up near the shopping centre, it is the same team and the same pricing.
Usually, and there is a guarantee attached. If we do not reach you the same day, you get $65 off the job. Booking early in the day helps. If water is actively going where it should not, ring 0487 037 290 instead of using the form.
In a house built in the decades after the war, the usual answer is the supply pipe itself. Galvanised steel corrodes from the inside and the bore closes up gradually, so the pressure fades over years rather than dropping overnight. It can also be a partly closed stop tap, a blocked aerator or a failing pressure limiting valve, and those are far cheaper. We check the simple causes first and only talk about repiping if the pipe is genuinely the problem.
Regularly. There is a lot of that stock along Logan Road and through the streets behind it. The thing to know is that the isolation valve for your unit may also serve others, and a fault can sit on common property rather than inside your lot. We work out which side of that line the problem is on, talk to the body corporate or building manager where we need to, and keep you out of the middle of it.
One of our own licensed plumbers. We hold QBCC licence 15578913 and we do not subcontract, so the person at your door is someone we employ. The Plumbing and Drainage Act 2018 requires regulated plumbing work in Queensland to be done by a licensed plumber or drainer, and the work we do is backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee.
One visit is often enough to 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.
This is a compact part of the southside, and the suburbs around the mountain run into one another without much of a gap. If our van is already on a street here, the next suburb over is the same trip rather than a second one.
There is more on the slab-built family homes of Wishart, the ridge streets and older housing through Tarragindi, the mix of houses and units across Sunnybank, and the newer estates and business parks at Eight Mile Plains. Everywhere else is on our full run of suburbs.
North of the mountain, Holland Park is the same trip again.
