Plumbing for Newington's Modern Homes

Terry is a Berala-based plumber who covers the Newington estate up near Sydney Olympic Park. Newington is a planned modern suburb, built for the 2000 Olympics, and the newer homes here throw up different plumbing issues to the old suburbs, which suits Terry fine.

Newington is not like the older suburbs around it. It was built as the athletes village for the 2000 Olympics, so the homes are relatively new and the whole estate was planned from scratch. That means Terry is rarely pulling out rusted galvanised pipe here. The jobs are modern-home jobs.

Modern materials, modern faults

Most Newington homes run PEX and PVC pipework and instantaneous or modern storage hot water. The typical calls are:

  • Mixer and cartridge failures, where a kitchen or bathroom tap starts dripping or gets stiff
  • Hot water units needing a service or a repair
  • Water hammer, the banging in the walls when a tap shuts off
  • Toilet cisterns that run on or refuse to fill

Tight blocks and drainage

The estate was built on compact blocks with homes close together. When drainage plays up here, it is often about the fall on the pipes, or a build-up in the stormwater and sewer lines that were laid on tight gradients. Terry knows how these estates were put together and where to look.

Mains pressure

Some Newington homes get pressure that is either too low or high enough to hammer the fittings. Terry can check the mains pressure and fit or adjust a pressure limiting valve so your taps and hot water behave.

He is near Newington Marketplace and Olympic Park most days, Monday to Saturday, with after-hours available at an extra fee. Always Terry on the phone, never a call centre. NSW licence L10959, since 1986. Get hold of Terry.
