Servicing Yeppoon, Rockhampton and the Capricorn Coast

Let it flow

The local plumber with a human touch. Hot water that has gone cold, a drain that will not clear, gas that needs doing properly. We are based in Yeppoon, we are licensed for water and gas, and we clean up before we leave.

  • We turn up on time.
  • We do the job well (and clean up afterwards).
  • We talk to you (and have a laugh).

Six things, done properly

Whether it is a blocked dunny, leaky taps, gas issues or more, we have got you covered for all your plumbing maintenance and upgrade needs.

Hot water systems

You turn on the tap and wait for it to warm up. And wait. And wait. We install energy efficient hot water systems and troubleshoot the one you already have. Instantaneous gas, solar and heat pump, plus repairs on whatever is out there now.

Blocked drains and maintenance

Water coming back up through the plugholes, and the plunger has given up. Blocked dunnies, leaking taps, corroded pipework and water pressure that is either a dribble or a rumble. This is the bread and butter service call.

Bathroom and kitchen renovations

Creating your dream bathroom, kitchen or laundry? The plumbing you cannot see is the part that ruins a renovation. We cover the water and the gas on the same job, so a kitchen with a gas cooktop takes one trade instead of two.

Gas installation and gas fitting

Make sure you are (safely) cooking with gas. Gas is the licensed, higher risk work a handyman cannot legally touch. Hot water systems, stovetops and ovens are the speciality, domestic and commercial, including commercial kitchens.

Backflow and TMV testing

The test is annual, and the reminder never comes at a good time. Backflow valves stop contaminated water flowing back into the drinking supply. Thermostatic mixing valves blend hot and cold to a safe temperature so nobody gets scalded. Both need testing, and we test and repair on the spot.

Hi, we're Flowtek

Plumbing is a funny business

Imagine standing in a yard with water up to your ankles. It is moments like these where you have got to find the humour in the job.

At Flowtek we embrace that. Sure, we are professionals who do a bang-up job, turn up on time and communicate effectively, but we also like to bring a human touch to every project, whether that is helping to create your dream bathroom, installing an energy efficient hot water system, or unblocking your dunny.

So if you are in Yeppoon, Rockhampton, the Capricorn Coast or anywhere in between, we are here to help, and have a laugh while doing it.

We are hiring a plumber and gas fitter. Have a look at the job.

Before we get there

    1. Turn off any appliances.
    2. Open the doors and windows to ventilate the area.

    4. Then call us. Do not use a light switch or a phone inside the room.

    2. Call us.
    3. Then contact your home insurer.

More on emergency plumbing

For business owners

Commercial work, and the test that comes round every year

We do commercial fitout, gas fitting for commercial kitchens, and routine maintenance for businesses across Rockhampton and the Capricorn Coast.

The one that matters most is the one that runs on a calendar rather than on a breakdown. Backflow prevention devices and thermostatic mixing valves have to be tested, and if we find a problem we fix it on the same visit rather than booking a second one. You get the report for your records.

Questions we get asked

Which suburbs do you actually come out to?

Yeppoon, Rockhampton, Taranganba and the Capricorn Coast, and the suburbs in between. Every suburb with a page on this site has one because there is something specific to say about the plumbing there. If your suburb is not listed, ring us and ask rather than guessing.

Do you do emergency work?

Our local emergency team is ready to respond promptly during all active business hours. That is the offer, stated plainly, and we are not going to dress it up into something we cannot keep. If you have water going everywhere right now, turn it off at the main and ring us on 0448 726 474.

Do you do both plumbing and gas?

Yes, and that is the useful part. Gas fitting is licensed work, so a kitchen with a gas cooktop normally takes two trades. We are licensed for both, which means one visit, one person responsible, and no waiting for the other trade to turn up.

How do I get a price?

Ring, text or fill in the form. Tell us what has gone wrong, and for a hot water job the make and rough age of the unit. We will tell you what the job involves before we start it rather than after.

Are you licensed?

Flowtek is a licensed plumber and gas fitter. If you want the licence details for your own records, ask us on the phone and we will give them to you.
