Guildford's Local Plumber

Guildford is a proper old residential suburb. Most of the homes are post-war brick and fibro sitting on good-sized blocks, with big established gardens and mature trees out the back. That character is lovely to live with, but it is hard on the plumbing.

Big trees, blocked drains

Those mature trees are the number one cause of drain trouble in Guildford. Roots find their way into old clay sewer pipes at the joints and slowly choke them up. The signs are gurgling drains, a toilet that is slow to clear, or a smell in the yard. Terry can clear the roots and, where the pipe is too far gone, talk you through relining or replacing that section.

Ageing pipework

A lot of Guildford homes still run their original galvanised steel water pipe. Over 50 or 60 years that pipe rusts up inside and your pressure drops, especially in the shower. Terry does galvanised pipe replacement, swapping the old steel for modern copper or PEX so you get your pressure back.

Hot water upgrades

Older homes often have an old storage hot water tank that is past it. Terry can replace it with a new storage or instantaneous unit and size it right for the household.

With bigger blocks, there is usually easy access to the drains and pipes, which keeps the job straightforward. Terry covers Guildford Monday to Saturday, with after-hours at a fee. You always get Terry direct. NSW licence L10959, since 1986. Call Terry.
