Which one is yours in Kinka Beach?
Something has stopped working properly
No hot water, a drain that is slow, a tap that will not stop. It can wait a day, but it is not going to fix itself.

Six services
Plumbing and gas services in Kinka Beach
Six things, and the three at the top are what Kinka Beach 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.
Blocked drains and maintenance in Kinka Beach
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 in Kinka Beach
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
Gas installation and gas fitting in Kinka Beach
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
Backflow and TMV testing in Kinka Beach
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.

Kinka Beach questions we actually get asked
How do I check for a leak if the ground never gets wet?
The meter is the only reliable test at Kinka Beach. Shut every tap and appliance off, including the toilets and any irrigation, then watch the dial for ten minutes. If it moves at all, water is going somewhere. On sandy ground it will not show on the surface, so waiting for a wet patch just means paying for it longer.
The house is an old shack. Is it worth repiping rather than patching?
Often yes, on a house of that vintage. If we are finding mixed materials, undersized runs and joints that keep failing in different places, each individual repair is cheap and the sequence of them is not. We will tell you straight which one you are looking at.
No mystery
What happens when you ring
Four things, in order. You could check every one of them the next day.
-
You ring or you text
Tell us the suburb and what is happening. A photo of the unit or the leak tells us more than a paragraph does.
-
We work out what it needs
Sometimes that is a question or two on the phone. Sometimes it is obvious from the photo.
-
We come and look
Nobody prices a job properly down a phone line, so we come and look before anyone talks about money.
-
You get told what it involves
What the job is, what it takes and what happens if you leave it. Then it is your call.
Quicker than explaining it
Not sure what you're looking at?
Take a photo of it and text that instead. The plate on a hot water unit, the fitting that is dripping, the wet patch in the yard. It tells us the make, the age and usually the fault, which saves you describing it and saves us guessing.
Texts get read between jobs. If it's an emergency, ring instead.

What we know about the pipes in Kinka Beach
Kinka Beach is a thin suburb: the highway on one side, the beach on the other, and not much room in between. Two things follow from the ground itself. It is sandy, which makes trenching quick and cheap compared with the clay up on the Taranganba ridge, but it also means a leak in a buried line simply soaks away instead of surfacing. So the classic Kinka Beach fault is a private water line that has been leaking for months with no wet patch to show for it, found on a meter reading rather than by eye. The housing is a mix that tells you the suburb's history: 1960s and 1970s beach shacks that were built as weekenders, sitting next to newer builds on the same street, and a share of properties still on tank supply. On the old shacks the pipework is often the original run with forty years of patches on it.
What goes wrong at Kinka Beach
Buried leaks that never surface, because sandy ground takes the water. After that it is the old weekender pipework: undersized runs, mixed materials, and joints that were meant to be temporary.

Access and parking in Kinka Beach
Easy access off the Scenic Highway, and sandy ground makes digging straightforward. The narrow frontage on some of the older blocks is the only real constraint for a machine.
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.
