We would recommend him to anyone. thankyou for you help stefan! and marcus tooAlicia BlahoAlicia Blaho ★★★★★ I don't even know where to start with my review. Working with Stefan has been nothing short of a blessing. Stefan visited our 50 year old unit about 5 times to complete various plumbing works. Not only was he professional, detailed and extremely competent in completing the works, he was also generous with his time; giving us advice on our future renovations and answering our one million questions. Not once have we felt pushed into anything, rushed, or blindsided with cost.Most importantly, he is a genuine, easy going guy who cares about his clients. Having worked with numerous tradesmen since buying our first property, we realise what a rarity this is. There are many snakes in this industry and we appreciate his authenticity and transparency.Furthermore when our power fuse was cut and needed an emergency electrician, he promptly recommended someone that was just as genuine and skilled to complete the works immediately.We highly recommend Brisbane Plumbing and Gas to anybody considering plumbing works.

FAQs

A pre-purchase plumbing inspection is critical for prospective property buyers as it comprehensively checks the home plumbing system’s condition and compliance, identifies hidden issues, and helps avoid nasty surprises after purchasing the property.

By revealing any existing problems and estimating accurate repair costs, a pre-purchase plumbing inspection empowers you to negotiate repairs or price adjustments with the seller and plan for future upgrades or renovations. Ultimately, it provides peace of mind and ensures a smooth transition into your new property with confidence your new home is functional, safe, and worth the investment.

A building inspection examines the property’s interior and exterior and evaluates safety, compliance with building codes, and potential maintenance or repair needs. These inspections are usually undertaken by a person with Building work experience, i.e. a Builder and not a qualified Plumber – this makes a massive difference.

A plumbing inspection concentrates explicitly on a property’s plumbing system, including pipes, fixtures, drains, water supply, and waste disposal systems. While building inspectors provide a broader assessment of the entire property, they are not always qualified to detect issues with the plumbing.

Our inspections are very thorough, comprehensive and carried out by highly experienced Plumbers.

Plumbing work is subject to various building codes, permits, and regulations to ensure safety and functionality. Licensed plumbers thoroughly understand these requirements and ensure all work complies with the rules. This compliance is vital for your protection and to avoid potential legal issues.

A professional, licensed plumber can accurately diagnose problems, provide practical solutions, and ensure all work is performed to the highest standards. In addition, all qualified plumbers will carry liability insurance that protects you as the homeowner and offers workmanship warranties. So if the same issue needs fixing again, they will come out free of charge.

Accidents can happen at any time – especially during plumbing repair jobs. If your plumber accidentally causes a water leak, flooding or damage to your property, their insurance should cover the cost, protecting you from incurring additional expenses. Furthermore, if your plumber is injured onsite, any medical or legal costs should be covered as well.

We have an initial Inspection Fee which covers up to the first 30 minutes on site. In some cases we can offer a Free Inspection. Please call us to find out more!

We sure do! 10 years in fact.

The actual inspection takes between 1-3 hours on site depending on the package, then another 1-2 hours in our office to compile the information into an easy to understand report (usually emailed within 24 hours)

We offer a variety of different options for customers and a CCTV Inspection can be included upon request
however for buildings older than 25 years old we strongly recommend that a CCTV Inspection is carried out.

This is possibly the most important reason why you should have the inspection carried out in the first place. If the
inspection comes back with significant issues highlighted than usually there are three outcomes here
a. Take the quoted information to the vendor and insist upon a discount.
b. Be thankful that you are fully aware of what you are buying and that it isn’t a nasty shock to you later on.
c. Don’t buy the property and move on – (some people sell the report to the vendor).

A. No, this is mainly because a gas leak test must be carried out as part of a Gas Safety Inspection which is compulsory before a Gas Compliance Certificate can be issued and if a gas leak is found then the gas supply can only be left on after the leak has been repaired – the vendor may not be ok with this. If you move into the property then we recommend that you then have a Gas Safety Inspection carried out and a Compliance Certificate issued – if the house is on LP Gas this will be a requirement in order to have a provider supply gas bottles to the property – obviously we can help you with this at a discounted rate.
