Licensed plumbers across Sunnybank and Sunnybank Hills, out the same day, with no call out fee* to get one to your door.
A kitchen tap that has dripped since Easter. A shower that turns lukewarm the moment the dishwasher starts. A floor waste that burps every time the laundry empties. Small faults, and none of them get better on their own.
Ring us and you speak with our professional team, and you get a real arrival window instead of a vague half day. The plumber who turns up is one of ours, working under QBCC licence 15578913, because we do not pass jobs to whoever happens to be free that morning. There is no call out fee* to get them to your door. Once they have had a proper look you get the options, a straight recommendation on which one we would choose ourselves, and one fixed price for the whole job that is agreed before anything begins. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Sunnybank filled up quickly and then stopped. The census counted 620 people here in 1954 and 7,473 by 1976, and the suburb has hovered around that figure ever since. Underground it matters, because most of these homes share a build era and the same faults arrive street by street: galvanised steel supply lines scaled up from the inside, earthenware sewer runs that sixty years of established garden has worked its way into, and original wet areas well past the life of their waterproofing. Then there is the retail and dining precinct where three centres face each other across Mains Road and McCullough Street, which puts a commercial kitchen drainage load into a suburb that otherwise reads as purely residential. Sunnybank Hills sits immediately to the south and we cover it on the same run.
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. The Clean-Up Guarantee handles the other half of it, which is leaving your place the way we found it.
If you are looking for a plumber in Sunnybank 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.
Word travels quickly on this side of town, and a fair share of our work here starts with somebody asking a neighbour or a colleague first. The reviews below come from homes and small businesses right across Brisbane’s south. What people write about is rarely the plumbing itself. It is the part around it, being given a time and having that time hold, hearing what the job actually needs in plain words, and getting an invoice that matches the figure we quoted.
One licensed team covering the lot, for houses, units and the shops and kitchens around Mains Road. The everyday jobs a house throws up make up most of it, from worn taps and mixer cartridges to pressure and pipework. Getting a blocked drain flowing again and hot water repairs and changeovers are the two we are called out to most often.
Beyond those we handle gas cooktops, ovens and hot water, shower leaks fixed without a full retile, finding a leak that has not shown itself yet, and lining a pipe rather than digging it up where a drain has cracked under an established garden. Every job starts with no call out fee* and one fixed price agreed up front.
Perished washers, cisterns that refill on their own, mixers that will not hold a temperature, and pressure that sags the second another outlet opens. The plain, unglamorous list that keeps a house working properly.
On a lowset brick home from the sixties or seventies the runs tend to be short and reachable, which keeps the diagnosis quick and the bill honest.
Gurgling floor wastes, a gully that fills after rain, and the smell that always arrives before the overflow does. Older earthenware lines running under mature gardens give roots plenty to work with.
We put a camera down before quoting. That tells you whether it is roots, a fractured section, a belly holding water or a build-up in a branch line, and each one carries a very different price.
Electric, gas storage, continuous flow and heat pump, repaired where the unit still has life in it and replaced plainly where it does not.
As a rule of thumb a storage tank runs eight to twelve years and a continuous flow unit fifteen to twenty, though how often it has been serviced shifts that a good deal further than the brand on the front ever does.
Seized spindles, worn washers, ceramic cartridges that have given up, pans that rock underfoot and cisterns that refill through the night. Far more of it is repairable than most people expect.
Where a set has genuinely had its day we supply and fit new, or install what you have already bought once we have checked it suits your set-out. More on toilets that run all night.
Cooktops, ovens, gas hot water, space heaters and outdoor bayonet points, connected and tested properly whether your place runs on reticulated natural gas or on bottled LPG.
Gas is not where you want the cheapest job on the street. We test what we connect, and if an older run has been extended piece by piece over the years and no longer stacks up, you will hear that from us.
A damp skirting board in the next room, a tile that has started to lift, or carpet outside the bathroom that never quite dries. A shower can leak for a long time before it announces itself.
Most of them can be sealed from inside the recess rather than stripped back to the frame, which is a very different job, and a very different price, to rebuilding the bathroom.
Nobody sticks with a plumber because of the advertising. They stick because the second visit is as good as the first one was.
We are small enough that the standard does not drift between jobs, and we do not hand work to subcontractors. There is no hourly rate quietly climbing while somebody works out what is wrong, and no gap between the number we quote and the number on the invoice. Have a read of reviews from customers on the southside, or see everything else we handle.
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.
Nothing to get us there. Tell us what it is doing, we will work out what it needs, and you get one written price before a tool comes out of the van. That holds right across Sunnybank, in 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:
Sunnybank has a high share of owners who have been in the same house a long while, and it shapes the questions. Owners want to know whether a thing is worth repairing properly or replacing now, and would rather hear that straight than be sold the larger job. Renters and property managers want the opposite of a drama, booked once, done once and invoiced once. We work to both.
The commercial side here is busier than in most residential suburbs, because the shops and restaurants around the centre run kitchens that load drainage never designed with them in mind. That work gets fitted around trading hours wherever the job allows. When something truly cannot wait, that is what the team we send when it cannot wait is for.
The same six steps every time, from a dripping mixer through to a sewer line that has to be opened up. Nothing gets started until you have heard what the job involves and what it will cost.
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 garden looked after. Where a line has to be opened up in an established Sunnybank yard, putting the ground back is part of the job.
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.
The things people ask us before they book a plumber in Sunnybank. Short answers, no sales pitch.
Getting us there costs nothing. There is no call out fee*, so you are not charged simply for having a licensed plumber come and look at the problem. What you pay is one fixed price for the job, agreed with you before anything starts rather than added up afterwards.
Most days, yes, 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.
Not usually, but it is worth knowing what is under there before anyone quotes. Most of Sunnybank went up between the mid-1950s and the mid-1970s, so the supply lines, the sewer runs and the wet areas are all much the same age, and a fault in one is a fair reason to look at the others. We tell you what we can see and what we cannot, then price the work in front of us rather than the work we imagine.
Yes. A commercial kitchen puts far more through a drain than a household does, and plenty of these lines were never built with that in mind. We clear them, camera them, and tell you whether the trouble is the line itself or what is going into it. Work gets fitted around trading hours wherever the job allows, and the price is agreed before we start either way.
One visit will usually 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 page covers Sunnybank and Sunnybank Hills together, because for us they are one run rather than two. Everything else nearby sits close enough that a van already booked on this side of town can pick up the next job a few minutes away without anyone making a special trip.
South-east of here we work right through Runcorn, and to the east there is Eight Mile Plains. Up to the north-east is Mt Gravatt, and directly south we cover Calamvale. All four are the same trip for us.
Directly north, Robertson is only a few minutes away as well.
Everywhere else we cover is listed on our whole service area. Not sure 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.
