Keppel Sands 4702 · Capricorn Coast
Keppel Sands is the small, quiet community at the mouth of the Fitzroy, reached by one road in. We are a licensed plumber and gas fitter based in Yeppoon, covering the water and the gas from the one trade.
Keppel Sands is the most isolated place we cover, and that shapes how we work here rather than what we find. There is one road in, it is the longest run on the coast from our Yeppoon base at around forty kilometres, and there is no plumbing supplier around the corner. So a Keppel Sands job gets planned properly before we leave: we want to know the make and the age of the unit, what the fitting looks like and what the fault is actually doing, so that the part comes with us the first time rather than on a second trip. Ringing us with a photo saves more here than anywhere else we go. The village itself is low-lying and sits beside tidal flats, which means high salt exposure and stormwater that has to work with very little fall. The housing is small in number and mixed in age, with a good share of older, modest homes and holiday places that are not lived in year round.
Salt on everything outdoors, and drainage with almost no fall to work with. The bigger practical issue is parts: the fault is usually simple, the logistics are not.
One road in, and it is a fair run. That is exactly why we ask more questions on the phone before a Keppel Sands job, so we bring the right part the first time.
That figure is a distance, not a promise about the clock. Our local emergency team is ready to respond promptly during all active business hours. Ring us and we will tell you what we can actually do and when.
Six things, and the three at the top are what Keppel Sands rings us about most. Every one of them is done by a licensed plumber and gas fitter, and the site gets cleaned up before we leave.
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.
More on hot water
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.
More on blocked drains
Water is going everywhere and it is not stopping on its own. Our local emergency team is ready to respond promptly during all active business hours. Burst pipes, water leaks, blocked drains and suspected gas leaks.
More on emergency
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.
Renovations
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.
Gas fitting
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.
Backflow and TMVWe work across Capricorn Coast from Yeppoon, but we are not going to put a made-up job or a borrowed photo on this page to prove it. If we have done work at your place in Keppel Sands, a Google review helps your neighbours far more than anything we could write here.

Yes. What we would rather not do is come twice, so we will ask more questions on the phone than we would for a Yeppoon address: what the make and model is, how old it is, and what it is actually doing. If you can send a photo, send it. That is what gets the right part in the ute the first time.
Almost always. If there are two or three things around the house that need doing, it makes far more sense to do them in one visit than to have us drive out three times. Write the list before you ring.
Three fields we need, two that help. If it is urgent, ring instead, it is faster.
