Balgownie Plumbing, Family Homes and Share Houses

Balgownie sits in the foothills a few minutes north-west of the Wollongong CBD, an old village with its own small strip of shops and streets that climb toward the escarpment. The housing is mostly post-war brick and fibro, much of it now renovated, and its position near the university means a lot of it is rented to students.

Rentals shape our work here. Properties turn over every year or two, so we do a lot of one-visit lists for agents: cisterns, mixers, showers, slow drains. Underneath that sit the usual foothills problems, sloping blocks that send stormwater through yards, earthenware sewers with roots in them, and hot water tanks doing hard service in busy share houses.

Questions

Balgownie Questions, Answered

How fast can you get to Balgownie?

Very fast. It sits a few minutes from our northern crew's base, so genuine emergencies in 2519 are usually attended within 45 minutes* and other jobs same-day. *Subject to availability.

Can you work directly with my property manager?

Yes. Most Balgownie rental work is booked by agents. We quote to them, fix the job, and send photos and the invoice straight back.

Our share house runs out of hot water every morning. Can that be fixed?

Almost always. The tank is usually sized for a couple, not five adults. We size the replacement for the household and fit it the same day where possible.

I'm a student renting a room. Can I call you?

Please do, but the booking has to come from your landlord or agent. Send them our number and tell them it's urgent.

Do you fix stormwater on sloping blocks?

Yes. Foothills runoff is a Balgownie regular. We camera the line, clear or replace it and redirect water away from the house.
