About Terry
Terry started fixing pipes in Berala when the going rate was a handshake and a cup of tea. Forty years later, same suburb, same standards, slightly better van.
The Short Version
Terry is a licensed plumber and gas fitter based in Berala, NSW. He's been running his own business since 1986 - that's 40 years of turning up, diagnosing the problem, and fixing it properly the first time.
He doesn't employ a team, doesn't run a fleet, and doesn't operate a call centre. When you call 0415 274 542, Terry answers. When you book a job, Terry shows up. That's how it's been since the beginning and that's how it'll stay.
What He Does
Maintenance plumbing for homes and small businesses. That means:
- Blocked drains cleared (electric eel, jetter, CCTV camera)
- Hot water systems repaired and replaced (gas, electric, solar)
- Leaks found and fixed (including under-slab detection)
- Gas fitting (appliance connections, leak testing, compliance certificates)
- Burst pipes repaired (emergency callouts available)
- Taps, toilets, mixers, cisterns - all the everyday stuff
What He Doesn't Do
Terry doesn't do large new-build projects or commercial high-rise work. He's a maintenance plumber - the bloke you call when something breaks, leaks, blocks, or stops working. He'll also handle the plumbing side of a bathroom renovation, working in with your tiler and builder. If your job genuinely needs a construction crew, he'll tell you straight and point you in the right direction.
The Licence
NSW Plumbing Licence L10959. Covers plumbing, drainage, gas fitting, and backflow prevention. Fully insured. Compliance certificates issued for all gas work.
