Big plumbing emergency or small repair, Plumberoo is here to keep Kensington's homes and businesses flowing. From blocked drains and hot water repairs to gas fitting and emergency plumbing, we'll fix it fast, fix it properly and get your day back on track.
Between heritage homes with ageing pipework, modern apartments, busy commercial properties and the constant activity around UNSW, you need a plumber who knows the area and can deliver the right solution without the guesswork.
Working with homeowners, landlords, businesses and strata managers, we tackle everything from everyday repairs to urgent plumbing emergencies with the same attention to detail and commitment to quality.
Burst pipes, overflowing toilets and gas leaks need attention fast. Our emergency plumbers are available day and night to make your property safe, minimise damage and get your plumbing back up and running as quickly as possible.

Slow-draining sinks, overflowing drains and recurring blockages are no match for our team. Using CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure water jetting, we'll find the cause of the blockage and clear it properly, not just temporarily.

Cold showers aren't much fun. Whether your hot water system needs a repair or it's reached the end of its life, we'll diagnose the problem, talk you through your options and get your hot water back with the right solution for your home.

Hidden leaks aren't always obvious, but they can cause serious damage over time. Our plumbers use advanced leak detection technology to accurately locate the problem and repair it quickly, helping protect your home from unnecessary damage and expensive water bills.
When it comes to gas, safety comes first. Our fully licenced gas fitters handle everything from appliance installations and gas bayonet fittings to leak detection, repairs and compliance testing, giving you complete confidence that the job has been done safely and correctly.
A dripping tap today can become a bigger problem tomorrow. Whether you're dealing with leaking taps, faulty toilets, low water pressure or worn shower fittings, we'll get everything repaired quickly and working as it should again.

Cracked or damaged pipes don't always mean your garden or driveway has to be dug up. Our trenchless pipe relining technology repairs pipes from the inside, creating a strong, long-lasting new lining without the mess of traditional excavation. It's a quicker, cleaner solution.

Your roof plumbing plays a big role in protecting your home from the elements. Whether it's leaking gutters, damaged downpipes, faulty flashings or poor stormwater drainage, we'll make sure rainwater flows where it should, helping prevent costly water damage before it starts.
Recurring blocked drains usually mean there's more going on below the surface. Using advanced CCTV drain cameras, we inspect the inside of your pipes to pinpoint cracks, tree root intrusion, collapsed sections and stubborn blockages, saving you time, money and unnecessary guesswork.
Creating your dream bathroom or laundry starts with plumbing you can rely on. We'll handle every stage of the plumbing installation, working closely with you or your builder to deliver a seamless result that's designed to look great and perform for years to come.
From busy cafés to multi-unit apartment buildings, commercial plumbing is essential. We provide repairs, maintenance and ongoing plumbing support for Kensington businesses and strata properties.

Kensington's mix of Federation-era homes, apartment buildings and student accommodation creates a few common plumbing challenges. We regularly attend blocked drains caused by tree roots, ageing pipework in older properties, hot water issues and plumbing repairs for busy rental and strata buildings.
Kensington's established street trees are a major cause of recurring drain problems. Tree roots naturally seek moisture and can work their way into older clay pipes through small cracks, causing slow drainage and repeated blockages. We use CCTV drain inspections and professional clearing equipment to find the cause and provide a lasting solution.
Many older Kensington properties still have original or ageing plumbing systems that can become more prone to leaks, corrosion and drainage issues over time. Our team regularly works on Federation-era homes and understands how to repair older pipework while minimising disruption to your property.
Yes. We regularly assist strata managers, landlords and property owners across Kensington with emergency repairs, maintenance and larger plumbing projects. From apartment blocks near UNSW to commercial properties along Anzac Parade, we provide reliable service designed to minimise disruption for residents and tenants.
Yes. Plumberoo is fully licenced under NSW Licence No. 289252C, carries $20 million public liability insurance and is backed by industry accreditations including Master Plumbers NSW. You can have confidence that your plumbing work is completed safely and to Australian Standards.
The cost depends on the type and complexity of the job. We provide clear starting prices for many common services, and for larger repairs or installations, we'll inspect the issue and provide a fixed-price quote before starting work. This means you know the cost upfront, with no hidden surprises.
If it's safe to do so, turn off the gas supply at the meter, open doors and windows, leave the property and avoid using electrical switches or naked flames. Then call Plumberoo on (02) 9191 8787. Our licenced gas fitters treat suspected gas leaks as urgent and will respond as quickly as possible.
