The plumbers Killara homeowners call first

Killara was designed, right from the start, as a garden suburb, big homes on big blocks, no shops cluttering the streets, a green retreat a short train ride from the city. More than a century on, that’s still what it is, some of the largest houses on the Upper North Shore, many with four or more bedrooms, several bathrooms and the hot-water demand to match. Big homes mean more plumbing, more fixtures, longer pipe runs, more that can quietly go wrong, so it helps to have a plumber who’s comfortable working across a large house. Ready Set Plumb is based just down the line in Roseville, in the same council area, Ku-ring-gai, so we’re genuinely local. Here’s why Killara homeowners call us:

  • No call-out fee. You won’t pay just for us to turn up, Killara 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 Killara job is part of our in-house team.

Kristian was experienced and thoughtful. I was especially glad he messaged me a photo of the taps for approval before installing. Happy to recommend.

Ruth Matic

I have nothing but praise for their work ethics, high standards, and exceptional attitude towards their work. Our technician was courteous, punctual, and friendly, and his work was perfect. Couldn’t ask for a better service.

Wendy Chan

I was impressed with Sam’s communication skills when we got him to fix some small things and quote on a larger project. He took the time to think it through and explained the process in detail, which has given me confidence there won’t be unpleasant surprises.

Daniel Snitzer

I love working with this team! Dianne is very responsive and I never have to wait more than one ring to talk with her. The plumbers are great—respectful, knowledgeable, and always on time. Ready Set Plumb has become my plumber service of choice!

Anna Lancerotto

Thank you Chris for coming on time and getting things done so efficiently. Great that you also wandered around and helped me problem-solve and learn as well.

Jane Randall

Chris came to our house at the exact time he advised, was extremely efficient at his job, and left the place clean and neat. Very happy with the excellent service. Would not hesitate to recommend them.

Our Services

Services provided by our Killara Plumbers

Killara is a suburb of large, established homes, many with several bathrooms, generous kitchens and the hot-water systems to keep them running — stretching from the leafy streets around the station out to the bushland edge of East Killara against Garigal National Park. Bigger homes bring more plumbing, and more places for it to fail quietly. We look after 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 Killara and East Killara, between two national parks

Ready Set Plumb is based in Roseville, a few stops down the line in the same council area, Ku-ring-gai, so we’re a genuinely local Upper North Shore team, not a franchise badge or a call centre routing your job to whoever’s cheapest.

When Killara was laid out around its new railway station in 1899, it was planned as a garden suburb, no shops, large allotments often bigger than an acre, and substantial homes set in gardens. That character has stuck. Killara is one of the greenest addresses in Sydney, wedged between two national parks, Lane Cove to the west and Garigal to the east, with some of the largest homes on the North Shore. For plumbing, scale is the theme. A big home means multiple bathrooms, high hot-water demand, and long runs of supply and drainage where a slow leak can go unnoticed for months. We’re set up for exactly that, sizing and replacing hot water for large households, tracking down hidden leaks across extensive pipework, and clearing and relining blocked drains. Out at East Killara, where homes back onto Garigal National Park, we know the drainage and stormwater quirks that come with a block on the bush edge.

Ready Set Plumb services Killara, East Killara and West Killara, plus the surrounding Ku-ring-gai suburbs including Lindfield, Gordon, Pymble and back down to our Roseville base. Explore our full North Shore plumbing services.
