Drainage
Stormwater Drainage
On the steep Paddington streets surface and roof water gathers speed as it runs downhill, so we plan stormwater routes that carry runoff safely past hillside Queenslanders to a lawful discharge point.

A considered approach to drainage enquiries for hillside Queenslanders, renovations and small business properties in Paddington.
Your place. A considered approach.

Renovation drainage should work with the parts of a house you want to keep. For an under-house conversion, deck, extension or bathroom project, identify existing pipe routes and tell us which paving, garden terraces and finishes need protection. A short list of must-keep features is a good place to start.
Many Paddington homes are older timber Queenslanders on sloping, compact blocks, with established gardens, character finishes and tin roofs feeding box gutters and downpipes. Drainage changes need to fit around these features, so explain what the renovation involves, which areas must stay intact and whether new fixtures, downpipes or paving will alter where water travels.

Drainage
Roof and Gutter Drainage
Many Paddington Queenslanders have tin roofs feeding box gutters and long downpipe runs, so we check how roof water is collected before it overflows across decks or sloping gardens.
Drainage
Soakwell Installation
Where a compact Paddington block has a pocket of garden or terrace, a soakwell can take overflow, provided the sloping ground and soil are assessed before installation.
Drainage
Paving and Channel Drains
Renovated entries, carports and paved terraces on Paddington hillsides need channel drains set to the fall, so collected water is intercepted before it reaches the house below.
Drainage
Landscape Drainage
Established Paddington gardens and terraced beds hold water against footings on sloping blocks, so we drain these spaces to protect planting and the timber home above.
Drainage
Drainlayers
Altering drainage under a hillside Queenslander means working with tight side access and existing pipe routes, so our drainlayers map the line before any excavation on a Paddington block.

Bathroom Renovation
An under-house conversion or new bathroom in a Paddington Queenslander calls for careful pipe routing through old timber framing, planned around the finishes and layout you want to keep.
Plumbing
Plumbing and Pipeworks
Older Paddington homes often hide supply and waste lines beneath the floor and down the slope, so we trace existing pipework before planning alterations for a renovation.
Plumbing
Leaking Taps
A dripping tap wastes water in any Paddington home, so we repair or replace worn tapware, matching fittings that suit a character house or a small business premises.
Plumbing
Toilet Repairs
In a renovated cottage or shared workspace, a faulty cistern or pan is a daily nuisance, so we repair toilet connections to keep a Paddington property in service.
Plumbing
Gas Fitting
Paddington cafes, shops and homes rely on compliant connections for cooking and hot water, so we handle gas fitting where certification and tight site access both apply.
Plumbing
Commercial Plumbing
The small shops, studios and cafes along the Paddington ridge need plumbing that keeps trading, scheduled around customers, narrow frontages and limited parking.

Maintenance
Blocked Drains
A blocked drain in a hillside Paddington home can back up quickly as water runs downhill, so we clear the line and check whether roots or old pipe joints are the cause.
Maintenance
CCTV Drain Inspections
Before excavating on a steep Paddington block, a camera survey shows the true condition of underground drains and locates defects without disturbing gardens or paving.
Maintenance
High Pressure Drain Cleaning
Leaf litter, silt and grease build up in drains serving Paddington homes and cafes, and high-pressure cleaning restores flow without opening the ground along a tight slope.
Maintenance
Leak Detection
An unexplained damp patch under a raised Paddington Queenslander can be hard to trace, so we locate the leak within the pipework before any timber or finish is lifted.
Maintenance
Burst Pipe Repairs
A burst pipe beneath a sloping Paddington block can send water downhill fast, so we isolate the supply and repair the line while limiting damage to the home and garden.
Maintenance
Emergency Plumbing
When a leak or blockage strikes out of hours in a Paddington home or shopfront, we respond to make the situation safe before planning a considered repair.

Sewer Connections
Connecting or altering sewer on a compact Paddington site means coordinating with Queensland Urban Utilities and working around tight access, which we plan around existing services.
Civil
Water Main Extensions
A renovated or subdivided Paddington property may need its water supply extended or upsized, which we scope with the authority approvals these inner-suburb works require.
Civil
Subdivision Drainage
Splitting a larger Paddington block on sloping ground calls for drainage designed to the new layout, so we plan collection and discharge where levels and space are constrained.
Civil
Digger Hire
Excavation on a steep, tightly built Paddington street suits compact machines, so our smaller plant can reach side setbacks and rear yards where larger equipment cannot.
Civil
Wastewater Treatment
Some older or detached Paddington premises need on-site wastewater handling beyond standard sewer, so we assess what the property requires and how it fits a sloping block.
Civil
Water Tank Installation
Where a Paddington home harvests rainwater or needs storage on a small block, space is limited, so we plan tank placement that suits the slope and side access.
