The plumbers Willoughby calls — day or night

Willoughby is a suburb in two time zones at once. Its tree-lined streets have been established for over a century and right in the middle of them, the old Channel Nine studios on Artarmon Road, where Australian television began in 1956, have become a brand-new precinct of apartments. So on any given week we’re working on plumbing from both ends of a hundred years, original pipework in long-established homes, and warranty-era systems in buildings finished this decade. And because pipes don’t respect business hours in either, we answer emergencies seven days a week. Here’s why Willoughby residents call us:

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

The RSP team handled all the council matters and got our job done in a day in a friendly, helpful way. Couldn’t be happier.

Andrew Macourt

Great plumber, gave a full quote before starting on any work. I got a couple of slightly cheaper quotes but Ready Set Plumb came recommended, and because of the quality of work I think it’s definitely worth it. Will go to them again.

Adrian Whitehead

Ryan is professional, punctual and solutions-focused. He was flexible over a really busy time, and helped us get our bathroom done as quickly as possible. We would definitely hire Ryan again for any future plumbing work.

Ant Kelaher

Not afraid to get his hands dirty, he quickly dug around, found the problem and fixed it. Afterwards filling up the hole and leaving the place in a cleaned-up state. A very pleasant experience. I highly recommend them.

Bill Vass

We’ve used Ryan’s services twice now and thought he did a great job on each occasion. He thoroughly explained the issues and talked through the options with our budget in mind. He is friendly, efficient, and professional.

Emily H

I use Ready Set Plumb for all of my plumbing work. My experience is the phone is answered every time, he has always been available that day if needed, and you can rest assured he will get the job done right the first time.

Our Services

Emergency and everyday plumbing across Willoughby

More Willoughby locals search for an emergency plumber than any other kind and it’s easy to see why. In an established home, a burst pipe or blocked sewer arrives without warning; in a new apartment, a leak can reach the neighbours below before you’ve found the tap. We’re set up for both the 2am emergency and the booked-in job.

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 Willoughby, North Willoughby and Willoughby East

Ready Set Plumb is based in Roseville, a short drive up the Pacific Highway, a genuinely local North Shore team, not a franchise badge or a call centre routing your job to whoever’s cheapest.

Willoughby gives its name to the whole council area, and it’s one of the oldest-established suburbs on the Lower North Shore, which is exactly what makes its plumbing interesting right now. For 64 years the suburb was best known as the home of Channel Nine, Australia’s first television broadcast went out from the Artarmon Road studios in September 1956, under a 233-metre transmission tower that defined the local skyline. Nine has since moved out, the tower has been dismantled, and the old studio site is becoming a precinct of around 400 new apartments. That’s Willoughby in miniature, century-old homes on tree-lined streets, with the suburb’s newest buildings rising in the middle of them. For us, that means two very different kinds of work in one postcode, ageing pipework, hot water systems and drainage in the established homes around High Street and Penshurst Street, and strata and apartment plumbing in the new buildings. We handle both, around the clock when it can’t wait.

Ready Set Plumb services Willoughby, North Willoughby, Willoughby East and Middle Cove, plus the neighbouring Lower North Shore including Chatswood, Artarmon, Naremburn, Northbridge and Castlecrag. Explore our full North Shore plumbing services.
