The plumbers Crows Nest homes and kitchens count on

Crows Nest runs on its kitchens. Willoughby Road is one of Sydney’s great eat streets, you can stand outside the Crowie and count a dozen kitchens within a two-minute walk and behind every one of them is plumbing working harder than in any house, gas cooktops running all day, floor wastes, grease arrestors, and drains handling a full service every night. Around the village, it’s a different picture again, workers’ cottages, semis and apartment blocks, with brand-new towers now rising above the Metro. We look after all of it, and we know the one rule of hospitality plumbing, the fix can’t shut down dinner service. Here’s why Crows Nest calls us:

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

Ryan was recommended by Reece St Leonards. He was so helpful from the right beginning. He is the most helpful, honest plumber I have ever met. I will definitely call him for any plumbing jobs in the future.

Yoko Timbs

Ryan was on time (actually early!) and communicated beforehand. His invoicing system was efficient and he gave us some great advice, which saved us money. We will absolutely use him again for our clinic.

Sudarsana Fam

Had a blocked toilet at work, I called and got a site visit by Jack. He was professional, cleaned up after himself, polite and friendly, and best of all the toilet was unblocked! Thank you Jack.

K G

Following a disastrous flooding event at my unit due to tree roots blocking the sewerage outlet, I had the good fortune to meet the Ready Set plumbing team, who operated with rapid, quiet efficiency to repair the service.

Paul Murray

Ryan and his team did a great job. Will be getting them back in to assist our business when the need arises!

Land Eco Consulting

Fantastic experience! Arrived exactly on time this morning, was so lovely and polite, left the place nice and clean. Could not recommend these guys more!

Our Services

Plumbing for Crows Nest homes, venues and new apartments

Crows Nest packs three kinds of plumbing into one small suburb, the cottages, semis and older flats around the village, the cafés, restaurants and bars of Willoughby Road and the surrounding streets, and the new apartment buildings arriving with the Metro. We work across all three, homes by day, venues around their trading hours, and strata whenever the building needs us.

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 Crows Nest NSW, from the village to the Metro

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

Crows Nest is changing faster than any village on the Lower North Shore. The new Crows Nest Metro opened in August 2024 on the Pacific Highway between Oxley and Hume Streets, five minutes from Barangaroo, with towers approved to rise above the station and the council has poured $20 million into the Hume Lane walkway and park to knit it into the village. But the heart of the suburb is still Willoughby Road, one of Sydney’s densest dining strips, dozens of commercial kitchens amid the shops, with streets of workers’ cottages, semis and older apartment blocks around it. For plumbing, that mix is the whole story. Venue kitchens need gas fitting, grease arrestor and drainage work done around trading hours, so a blocked line doesn’t cost a night’s takings. The older homes and flats need the usual care of ageing pipework. And the new buildings above and around the Metro bring modern strata plumbing. One suburb, three different jobs, we handle all of them.

Ready Set Plumb services Crows Nest and the surrounding Lower North Shore, including St Leonards, Naremburn, Cammeray, Wollstonecraft, Waverton and North Sydney.

Our Ready Set Plumb Guarantees

The number on your quote is the number you pay. Every job comes with three things in writing, so you’re never relying on a verbal promise.

Fixed Price Guarantee

Lifetime Labour Guarantee

If our workmanship fails, we come back and fix it, for as long as you own the home.

Turn Up On-time Guarantee

We’ll give you a 2 to 3 hour timeslot so you can plan your day as needed and we’ll keep you updated.

How it works

What happens when you call

Four steps, no run-around, from the moment you ring to the lifetime guarantee on your invoice.

1

You ring, we answer

Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. You’ll speak to someone who knows plumbing, not a call centre passing a message along.

2

We book a specific time

We book a 2 – 3 hour timeslot that suits you so you can plan your day. For emergencies, we tell you the earliest realistic arrival before we hang up, often within the hour.

3

$0 call-out & fixed quote

Your licensed plumber, a member of the Ready Set Plumb team, never a subcontractor, arrives at the agreed time, assesses the job, and gives you a fixed price in writing before any work begins.

4

Work done, lifetime guarantee

If you accept the quote, the work is completed, the area is cleaned up, and you receive an itemised invoice. Your lifetime labour guarantee is included on the invoice.

Yes, hospitality is a big part of our Crows Nest work. We handle commercial plumbing across the village, gas cooktop connections and compliance, grease arrestor and floor waste drainage, blocked drains, and hot water. We know a plumbing fault can cost a venue a night’s trade, so we respond fast and can schedule work around your service hours.

Sydney. We service Crows Nest NSW 2065, on Sydney’s Lower North Shore, the village around Willoughby Road, near St Leonards and the new Crows Nest Metro. (There’s also a Crows Nest in Queensland, which we don’t service.)
No, Ready Set Plumb charges a $0 call-out fee on booked jobs, so you’re not paying just for us to turn up. Your plumber assesses the job and gives you a fixed price in writing before any work starts, and that quoted price is what you pay.
