Lane Cove, 2066

The Lane Cove plumbers for older homes and new apartments alike

Lane Cove has changed faster than almost anywhere on the North Shore. In not many years it’s shifted from a suburb of family houses to one where most homes, around 62%, are now apartments, while the established houses around the village and down toward the river haven’t gone anywhere. Plumbing here means both worlds, ageing pipework and original bathrooms in older family homes, and the shared hot water, drainage and riser systems of newer strata buildings. Ready Set Plumb is a Roseville-based North Shore team that works across both, and turns up when we say we will. Here’s why Lane Cove residents and building managers call us:

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

Wayne and Tom replaced my kitchen mixer tap. They are polite, easy to talk to. The job was finished very well at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Ready Set as a friendly and reliable plumber servicing the Lane Cove area.

Yang Chang

We recently renovated 2 bathrooms. As first-time renovators, we were lucky to have Ryan who gave us great advice, on bathroom layout, what to buy, and where to buy it. He was always polite and punctual, available to answer countless questions, and accommodating of changing schedules.

Stephanie Cain

Kristian and Alex worked hard today installing a storm water pit. Alex and Dave did a great job last week digging another one under the house.

Mary-Louise

Ryan and his team at Ready Set Plumb are terrific. I have used them for a number of years and would recommend them 100%. Always on time, professional, friendly and helpful.

Emma Gray

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

Wayne has done a couple of jobs for us. He arrived on time, listened, was polite, and clearly explained what he would do. He left the area clean and tidy and made sure we were happy with the work before he left.

Our Services

Services provided by our Lane Cove Plumbers

Lane Cove is really a village with a growing skyline. Around the shops on Longueville Road it’s newer apartment buildings and busy strata, a few streets away it’s established family homes on leafy blocks running down toward the Lane Cove River and the national park. We work across all of it, the older houses that need repipes, tap and toilet repairs and hot water replacements, and the newer buildings where a problem is shared across several units.

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 Lane Cove, from the village to the river

Ready Set Plumb is based just up the road in Roseville, so Lane Cove is a short drive for us, you’re getting a genuinely local North Shore team, not a franchise badge or a call centre routing your job to whoever’s cheapest.

Lane Cove’s wastewater pipes are old enough that Sydney Water has singled the area out. The Lane Cove catchment was made one of only a handful of priority areas in Sydney Water’s Wastewater Fix program, and in its final stage crews smoke-tested more than 8,500 properties across the catchment to find where stormwater and tree roots were getting into cracked, ageing pipes. Sydney Water’s own fix for those pipes is exactly the one we use every day, jet the line clean, then reline it from the inside, no digging up the garden. That’s the plumbing reality here, established homes near the river and national park sitting on pipework that’s been in the ground a long time, alongside the newer strata buildings around the village. We work across both.

Ready Set Plumb services Lane Cove, Lane Cove West and Lane Cove North, plus the surrounding lower North Shore including Longueville, Riverview, Northwood, Greenwich, Linley Point and across to Artarmon and St Leonards.
