Fair prices, price first
We do everything in-house with no big fleet of trucks, so our overheads stay low. Our prices are published below, and you get the price before we start.
Plumbing in Gladesville homes
A lot of Gladesville’s houses are Federation and post-war builds with the original terracotta clay sewer pipes. With big established street trees, roots in the sewer are one of our most common jobs here. Along Victoria Road there are plenty of apartment blocks and shops.
Tree roots and blocked drains
Roots get into old clay joints and catch everything going down the drain. Jetting gets it flowing, but roots come back, so we show you the camera footage and tell you whether a clean-out will do or a section needs repair. More on tree roots in drains.
Hot water and gas
We repair and replace electric and gas hot water systems, often the same day, including in tight cupboards, laundries and balconies. As licensed gas fitters we also fix gas leaks and connect cooktops and heaters.
Apartments, rentals and shops
Blocked stacks, leaking showers, hot water problems and grease-affected drains behind cafes along Victoria Road. We work with owners, strata managers and property managers. See strata plumbing.

Honest second opinions
Told by another plumber that your pipe has collapsed or needs a big dig? We put our own camera down the line and show you the footage. More than once, a much smaller job fixed it.

★★★★★
“I had a major emergency blocked drain in Gladesville caused by aggressive tree root intrusion, and Alex from GT Plumbing was a lifesaver. He didn’t just clear the blockage; he provided a full CCTV drain inspection so I could actually see the damage for myself.”
Van T., Gladesville · Google review
★★★★★
“We live in Gladesville and we called a few plumbers, unfortunately they were either too expensive or not available… He even showed us he had cleared the whole drain 100%. Our family has found a new plumber.”
Suee S., Gladesville · Google review
★★★★★
“Multiple plumbers came out before Alex, but each one left us with a new excuse and no solution… Alex arrived promptly, conducted a thorough investigation, and laid out all the pricing upfront.”
