Licensed Wellington Point plumbers, same day service, and a $0 call out fee* to get one to your door.
A toilet that will not stop running. A hot water unit that gave out overnight. Water still pooling out the back two days after the storm. None of it improves with waiting.
When you ring you get our team, and 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. There is no call out fee* to get them to your door, so nothing is charged simply for having someone look at the problem. Once they have found the actual fault you get one written price for the whole job, agreed before anyone picks up a tool, and that figure is the one on the invoice. Where there is more than one sensible way to fix something we will lay out the options and tell you which one we would choose, including when the cheaper repair is the right call.
Wellington Point is a headland, and that shapes the work here more than anything else about the place. Moreton Bay wraps the locality on three sides and Hilliards Creek closes the eastern edge, so very little drains far before it meets tidal water. On the lower sections that leaves stormwater lines with almost no fall to play with, and a partly blocked line will sit and hold rather than clear itself. The slopes at the northern end are mapped for land movement, so we look at where a pipe has shifted rather than only where it is wet. Most of the housing went up between the mid 1980s and the mid 2000s, which puts the original fixtures and hot water units squarely in replacement territory.
Everything we install or repair carries our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee, and our Clean-Up Guarantee means the site is left tidy and the old parts go with us.
If you need a plumber in Wellington Point 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.
Out this way a plumber lives or dies on what the last customer told the neighbour, and we are perfectly happy with that. The reviews below come from homes and businesses right across Redland City. The theme is rarely the plumbing itself. It is that we arrived when we said we would, explained what we found, and sent an invoice that matched the quote.
One licensed team for the whole property, from a single spindle to a full stormwater run. Everyday repairs and maintenance make up most weeks, and clearing blocked drains with hot water units repaired or replaced are the two we are called to most often. Because so much of the ground here drains straight to tidal water we also do a lot of gutters, downpipes and stormwater, plus tracking down a hidden leak when a bill jumps for no reason.
When something has already let go there are urgent plumbing call outs as well. Every one of them starts with no call out fee* and one fixed price agreed before we begin.
Dripping taps, cisterns that run on, mixers that will not hold a temperature, pans that rock, and pressure that drops away the moment a second outlet opens. The quiet list that decides whether a house feels well kept or merely lived in.
Most of it is an hour or two of work, and almost all of it costs less the sooner it is looked at, so we would rather do three small things in one visit than return for each.
Gullies that empty slowly, floor wastes that gurgle, and the smell that arrives before the overflow does. On ground this close to tidal water a partial choke can hold for months without ever backing up.
We run a camera before quoting rather than after. Roots at a joint, a fractured section and a belly holding water look identical from above, and none of the three costs the same to put right.
Gas storage, continuous flow, electric and heat pump, repaired where that makes sense and replaced 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.
Servicing shifts those numbers further than the brand on the front does. If a unit still has years in it we repair it, and if the cylinder has gone we say so and quote the replacement.
Gutters, downpipes, box gutters, flashings and the buried lines they feed. On flat ground near the bay, water that leaves the roof perfectly well can still back up further down the run, and the first sign is usually a wet wall rather than a full gutter.
We follow the whole path to the discharge point before quoting, because a new gutter fixes nothing when the line underneath it is the part that has failed.
A water bill that climbed without a change in use. A meter still turning with every tap shut. A warm patch underfoot, or paint lifting along a skirting board where nothing has been spilled.
We trace it with acoustic and thermal gear rather than opening walls on a hunch, which keeps the repair to the pipe and not the room it happens to run behind.
Burst pipes, blocked sewers and hot water units that let go rarely pick a sensible moment. If water is coming in, shut the main off at the meter and ring us, and we will talk you through anything else worth doing before we get there.
You still get one fixed figure agreed before any work starts, so an urgent job is never an open cheque and never an hourly rate.
Nobody stays with a plumber because of the advertising.
They stay because the second visit is as steady as the first was. We are a small enough team that the standard does not wander, there are no subcontractors, no hourly rate quietly climbing while we work out what is wrong, and no daylight between the number we quote and the number we bill. You can read our customer reviews, or see the full 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 on site. Tell us what it is doing, we will work out what it needs, and you get one written price before anything starts. That holds anywhere in Wellington Point, on the peninsula or back off the water, and for urgent work just the same.
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:
Wellington Point is overwhelmingly owner-occupied and it shows in the questions we get. Owners want to know whether a thing is worth repairing or worth replacing properly, and they would rather be told straight than sold the larger job. Property managers want the opposite of drama, booked once and invoiced once. Both are easy to work with when the price is fixed before anyone starts.
The larger blocks toward the creek bring their own list, with long service runs, irrigation tied into the house supply, and stormwater that has to cross a good deal of ground before it gets anywhere. Along the shops and the school run the work has to fit around trading and drop-off times, which we book around wherever we can. When it truly cannot wait, that is what our round the clock team is for.
Six steps, and they do not change whether it is a slow gully or a full stormwater replacement. You will know what is happening and what it costs before anyone touches anything.
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 protected. Where a line has to be dug up, the ground goes back the way we found it.
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 around here ask before they book. Short answers, no sales pitch.
Nothing to get us there. There is no call out fee*, so you are not charged simply for having a licensed plumber come and look. From there it is one fixed price for the job, written down and agreed before we pick up a tool, and that is the figure you pay.
Usually, and we back it. If we do not reach you the same day, you get $65 off the job. Booking earlier in the day gives us the best run at it. If water is actively getting in, ring rather than waiting on a reply.
It changes how we diagnose it. On the lower parts of the locality the drainage has very little fall and the outfall sits close to tidal level, so a line can be badly obstructed and still appear to drain. We put a camera through and work out how much fall is genuinely there before quoting anything.
Yes, and on a lot of properties here the two are the same job. Gutters, downpipes, box gutters and flashings are only half of it, because the buried line they feed is where the trouble usually is. We check the run from the roof to the discharge point and price the part that is actually failing. There is more on the roof plumbing page.
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.
Age is a guide rather than a rule. A storage tank generally gives eight to twelve years and a continuous flow unit fifteen to twenty, and regular servicing shifts that more than the brand does. A great deal of the housing here went in from the mid 1980s onward, so we see plenty of second and third units. If the cylinder has gone we say so and quote the replacement. If it has life left, we repair it.
Call. The form is the right way to book something that can wait a day, and our team will be in touch to organise getting a plumber to you. If water is running where it should not be, ring 0487 037 290 and shut the main off at the meter while you wait.
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.
The peninsula is the end of the road rather than a through route, so a Wellington Point job usually means we are already parked out this way for the rest of the day.
Birkdale starts on the other side of the creek line and Ormiston is barely further, so either one is the same trip for us. The same goes for Alexandra Hills up the rise and Cleveland further round the bay. Capalaba sits a little further inland and is on our regular route through the week.
Everywhere else we cover is listed on the full area we cover. Not sure whether you are 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.
