Which one is yours in Norman Gardens?
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 Norman Gardens
Six things, and the three at the top are what Norman Gardens 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.
Bathroom and kitchen renovations in Norman Gardens
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 in Norman Gardens
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.

Hot water systems in Norman Gardens
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 in Norman Gardens
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.
Blocked drains
Backflow and TMV testing in Norman Gardens
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 TMV

Jason was incredibly efficient, friendly, reliable and professional. Workmanship is spot on. Absolutely recommend and will be using him again for our home Reno project.
Terri Thornton Google review, March 2024
I recently had the pleasure of working with Jason from Flowtek services for the installation of two new toilets. I cannot express enough how helpful and knowledgeable he was throughout the process. Unlike other plumbers who simply gave me a quote, Jason took the time to educate me on my purchases and ensure that I made informed decisions. He was prompt, reliable, and patiently addressed every question I had. It is evident that he takes great pride in his work and places a strong emphasis on providing exceptional customer service. I highly recommend Jason and Flowtek services for all your plumbing needs.

Norman Gardens questions we actually get asked
Our 1990s bathroom is due. What is the plumbing side of a refit?
On a Norman Gardens house of that age the drainage is generally sound, so the work is the rough-in for the new layout, replacing tap ware and mixer bodies that are past it, and getting the falls and the waterproofing detail right before the tiler starts. The cost driver is whether you are moving the fixtures or keeping them where they are.
Water sheets across the yard in a downpour. Is the stormwater blocked?
Not necessarily. In Norman Gardens it is more often a capacity question than a blockage: a large roof area on a flat block delivers a lot of water very fast. We will check whether the line is clear first, because that is cheap, then look at whether the surface drainage has anywhere adequate to take it.
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 Norman Gardens
Norman Gardens is newer than the suburbs around it, mostly built out from the 1990s onwards with a solid band of 2010s houses on top. That gives it a very particular plumbing profile for Rockhampton: the pipe in the ground is modern, the drainage was designed rather than inherited, and we are rarely there because something has failed. What we are there for is what a newer suburb generates: second bathrooms, kitchen and bathroom renovations on the earlier 1990s houses now due for their first refit, gas cooktops going in, and hot water changeovers as the first round of units reaches the end. The one thing the modern build does not solve is Rockhampton rainfall. Big roof areas on relatively flat blocks put a lot of water into a stormwater system very quickly during a summer downpour, so downpipe and surface drainage capacity is the thing that gets tested here rather than the sewer.
What we do most in Norman Gardens
Renovation and upgrade work rather than repair. The failure work that does come in is hot water, and the drainage complaints are about surface water in a downpour, not blockages.
