## What we do not take on
- We are plumbers and gas fitters. We do not do asbestos removal. Where a job requires cutting into material that may contain bonded asbestos, the removal is referred to a licensed asbestos removalist before we continue.
- We do not do roof replacement, tiling, waterproofing membranes as a standalone trade, or electrical work beyond disconnection and reconnection of the systems we install.
- We do not quote plumbing sight-unseen on a job that needs a camera or a pressure test. Where a phone diagnosis is not honest, we say so.
- We do not service commercial kitchens, industrial process pipework, or fire services.
- We do not charge an after-hours surcharge that was not disclosed on the phone before attending.

## Local knowledge (Cherrybrook specifics)
- **The defining local fact: this suburb was plumbed before water efficiency existed.** Cherrybrook was built out as a planned suburb on former orchard land, largely through the **late 1970s and 1980s**. The **Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards scheme (WELS)** began in **2005 and 2006**. The two dates do not overlap.
- **WELS requires showers, tap equipment, lavatory equipment, clothes washing machines and dishwashers to carry a star rating and a water consumption figure at the point of sale.** It governs **what is sold, not what is already installed**, so nothing in an existing house is non-compliant because it is old. It simply means nobody had to publish the numbers when those fixtures were made.
- **The differences are not marginal.** An old **single flush cistern was commonly 11 or 12 litres** per flush. A modern **4 star dual flush is nominally 4.5 litres full and 3 litres half**. A **3 star showerhead flows no more than 9 litres a minute**, and older heads can flow well above that.
- **The honest limit, stated plainly: we will not promise a saving figure.** That depends entirely on the household and any number we invented would be dishonest. We can tell you what the old fixture uses and what the new one uses.
- **The most expensive leak in these houses is silent.** A cistern passing water into the pan runs continuously, makes no sound, and leaves nothing on the floor. **Two free checks find it**: lift the lid and see whether the water is at or above the top of the overflow tube, and put a few drops of food colouring in the cistern, leave it twenty minutes without flushing, and watch the bowl. The repair is usually an inlet valve, an outlet valve or the cistern-to-pan seal.
- **A showerhead is half of why a hot water tank runs out.** A shower draws hot and cold together, so the flow rate of the head sets how fast the stored volume disappears. **Changing the head is minutes and a fraction of the cost of a system**, and it is worth trying before anybody quotes a bigger cylinder. It also matters for sizing: sizing against old flow rates buys a bigger system than the house needs.
- **The drainage is usually sound, and that is the answer.** Laid across the suburb in one program, to one set of practices, with the materials of that period, it is unusually consistent. A blockage here is far more likely to be about what went down the pipe than about the pipe. **Film it once. A clean result is a real result** because it ends the spending rather than starting it.
- **Where it is the pipe, it is usually a junction.** On a house that has had a rear extension or a second bathroom added, the new waste was cut into the original line, and a badly formed junction leaves an edge or an intrusion that collects. The pipe either side can be perfect while that one fixture blocks every winter. **The repair is lining the section and reinstating the junction**, cut back open from inside once cured.
- **Gas: the barbecue hose is a consumable that nobody replaces.** It is a flexible rubber and fabric assembly living outdoors, coiled and uncoiled, in sun and weather, bent in the same place every time. Check for cracking near the fittings and hardness where it was supple. **Soapy water on the hose and connections with the gas on and the appliance off is a real test**: bubbles mean gas is escaping. If you cannot remember buying it, it is old enough to look at closely.
- Sydney's water is soft, so a failed hot water system here is a spent anode or element rather than limescale.
