North Sydney, 2060

The plumbers North Sydney apartments and strata blocks trust

In a North Sydney apartment, a plumbing problem is rarely just your problem. A leak under your kitchen sink can show up on the ceiling of the unit below, a blocked stack can back up across several floors; a failing hot water system can leave a whole block cold. That’s a different job to a standalone house, and it needs a plumber who understands strata pipework, building access and the paperwork that comes with common property. Ready Set Plumb works in North Sydney’s towers and walk-up blocks week in, week out, licensed, insured for $20 million, and never subcontracted out. Here’s why North Sydney residents, tenants and building managers call us:

  • No call-out fee. You won’t pay just for us to turn up, North Sydney locals get a $0 call-out on booked jobs, so the price you approve is the price you pay.
  • Upfront pricing, guaranteed. You get the price before we start, approved by you, in writing. No hourly-rate creep, no bill shock when the job’s done.
  • Backed for life. Our workmanship is covered by a Lifetime Labour Guarantee, so the fix stays fixed.
  • Licensed and fully insured. NSW Licence No. 266660C, backed by $20 million public liability insurance. That protects your home, and your strata building, if anything goes wrong.
  • Every plumber is ours. We don’t subcontract. The licensed plumber who arrives at your North Sydney job is part of our in-house team.

Sam at Ready Set Plumb has done an amazing job to remedy the plumbing issues at my apartment. It’s been easy to set up appointments, he’s been on time, and the work is top notch. Thanks Sam and team.

Melinda Murray

I called to unblock the drainage in the laundry, blocked by tree roots. Christopher and Mark came and fixed the issue brilliantly! I am very happy with their professionalism.

Georgia Lee

I have used Ready Set Plumb both personally and for our strata block. Ryan and Josh are both very professional, quick to diagnose problems, and provide a fast, efficient service. Highly recommended.

Jenny Reid

I called three plumbers before Ready Set Plumb. One quoted high, the second pretended he got another call and the third said ‘nah’. Ready Set Plumb answered their phone, arrived EXACTLY when they said, quoted fair, and fixed everything.

Aiden Ton-That

Josh found a blockage in the water board main and didn’t even charge me anything, he just reported it to the water board to arrange clearance. I have never had such a fair, honest service and would highly recommend them.

Our Services

Services provided by our North Sydney Plumbers

North Sydney is unlike anywhere else we work, one of the largest office districts in the country wrapped around a dense core of residential apartment towers, with pockets of older harbourside housing in Kirribilli, McMahons Point and Waverton. Most of our North Sydney work is in apartments and strata buildings, shared pipework, riser access, and hot water and drainage problems that affect more than one lot at a time. We handle all of it.

Blocked Drain

From slow-draining sinks to completely blocked sewer lines, we use CCTV cameras and hydro jetters to find the problem and clear it properly, not just push it further down the pipe.

Hot Water

Repairs, replacements, and new installations across electric, gas, solar, and heat pump systems. If your hot water has stopped working or isn’t performing like it should, we’ll sort it out.

Toilet Repair

Running toilets, leaking cisterns, broken flush mechanisms, and full toilet replacements. If your toilet isn’t working the way it should, we’ll diagnose the issue and give you options.

Gas Fitting

Licensed gas fitters for appliance installations, gas leak detection, bayonet fittings, and compliance certificates. Gas work needs to be done right, we make sure it is.

Leaking Tap Repairs

A dripping tap wastes water and money. We handle tap washer replacements, mixer tap installations, and full tap replacements across kitchens, bathrooms, and laundries.

Leak Detection

Hidden leaks cause more damage the longer they go undetected. We use non-invasive detection equipment to pinpoint the source accurately, so we fix the right thing the first time.

Emergency Plumber

Burst pipe? Flooding? Gas leak? We offer same day emergency callouts across Sydney. We’ll get to you fast, diagnose the problem, and give you a clear price before we start any work.

Water Filter Installation

Enjoy the health benefits of cleaner, filtered drinking water in your home. We install a range of water filtration systems designed for different house sizes and budgets.

Strata Plumbing

We work with strata managers and body corporates across Sydney. Common area maintenance, riser access, unit-level repairs, and after-hours emergency response for multi-unit buildings.

Commercial Plumbing

Offices, restaurants, retail, and hospitality. Scheduled maintenance plans, reactive repairs, and compliance work, with minimal disruption to your business and your customers.

Pipe Relining

Trenchless pipe repair without the excavation. Our specialist pipe relining team at Ready Set Reline repairs cracked, broken, and root-damaged pipes from the inside, no digging required.

Pay over time with Brighte

Interest-free payment plans on hot water, repipes & bigger jobs.

Truly local plumbers

Covering North Sydney’s apartments, offices and harbourside homes

Ready Set Plumb is a North Shore plumbing team based in Roseville, and North Sydney is one of the areas we work in most, because it’s where the apartments are.

North Sydney is one of the most apartment-dense suburbs in the state: 2021 Census data shows around 84% of North Sydney homes are flats or apartments, compared to about 22% across NSW, and just 6% are separate houses. Nearly two in three homes (61%) are rented. In practice that means the plumbing here is overwhelmingly strata and apartment work, shared sewer stacks and water risers, hot water systems serving whole blocks, and leaks that pass from one unit to the one below. As Strata Community Association NSW members, we work with owners, tenants and strata managers across North Sydney’s buildings, from the towers around Miller Street and Greenwood Plaza to the older walk-up blocks in Kirribilli, Cammeray and Neutral Bay.

North Sydney is also a major commercial centre, one of Australia’s largest office markets outside the Sydney CBD, so alongside apartments we handle commercial and after-hours work for offices, cafés and retail where a plumbing fault can’t wait until the weekend.

Ready Set Plumb services North Sydney and the surrounding lower North Shore, including Milsons Point, Kirribilli, McMahons Point, Waverton, Wollstonecraft, Cammeray, Crows Nest and Neutral Bay. Explore our full North Shore plumbing services.
