How We Look After College Park Properties
Before there was a team, there were two mates and a van. Co-owners Michael Heinrich and Colin Archer-Bourke had spent years in the trade watching customers get vague quotes, late arrivals and jobs left half done, and they started this business to do the reverse. It has grown into a team of six with more than 260 five-star Google reviews, and Michael and Colin tell the longer version themselves.
In College Park, doing the reverse usually means restraint. A garden decades in the making, a stone wall, an old tiled floor: we find the fault before anything is lifted, keep the disturbance to what the repair actually needs and work to AS/NZS 3500. Every job carries our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee and a price you agreed to before we began.
Plumbing Services for College Park Homes & Heritage Shopfronts
Most College Park homes are separate houses set back in long gardens, so most of our jobs are one property with its own long drain to the street. Rentals and the homes above the Payneham Road shops get the same fixed quote, and the shops, offices and cafés get commercial plumbing planned around trading hours.
General Plumbing
Weeping joints, sticking valves and tired pipework in older houses that have been added to over the years. Repairs made neatly, with the fault explained and the price agreed before we start.
Blocked Drains
Long private drains cross College Park front gardens, and the roots of established trees find the joints along the way. We clear the line and show you where the trouble starts.
Hot Water Systems
Big College Park households, more than one bathroom and Adelaide's hard water all take a toll on a hot water system. We repair and service the one you have, or replace it with a better fit.
24 Hour Plumber
A burst pipe behind a stone wall, a blocked toilet in a café before opening, water where it shouldn't be at midnight. Call any hour and a licensed plumber is sent out.
Taps & Toilets
Period bathrooms often keep worn tapware and old cisterns long after the rest of the house has been updated. We repair or replace them and leave original tiles as undisturbed as we can.
Pipe Relining
When a cracked drain runs under a heritage front garden and a pillared fence, trenching is the last resort. We put a new pipe inside the old one and leave the garden as it was.
Leak Detection
Bluestone and sandstone walls hide a leak well, and opening them up is slow and costly. We pinpoint hidden leaks before a wall or floor is touched, then quote the repair.
Heat Pump Hot Water
Plenty of College Park homes are big family houses, and that is a lot of showers on one system. We plan and install heat pump hot water with the outdoor unit sited out of the street view.
Blocked Sinks
Every busy family kitchen, and the cafés on Payneham Road and Torrens Street, send grease down the sink. We clear the waste pipe and trap properly, not just the plughole.
Trusted by College Park Households & Shopkeepers
Our plumbers cover all of College Park, from Torrens Street and Twelftree Reserve to Marlborough Street and the even side of Harrow Road. What follows is feedback from customers all over Adelaide.
On a horrible night, Aidan came out and did an amazing job. Following him, Michael and Mitch couldn’t have done more to sort out the problem. I would recommend them to anyone. The fees were very reasonable too. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Much thanks to Adelaide Expert Plumbing for coming out at short notice today. Thanks to Sammy who took our call and organised everything, and Aidan who showed up to do the job. Aidan was friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job plumbing our new fridge when it turned out not
Thank you Michael and Ross for your very speedy and professional service (emergency gas hot water system replacement). Reasonably priced and excellent quality installation. I definitely recommend these guys photos of before and after.
Michael was excellent in his work, located the leak behind my wall tiles and fixed it leaving minimal damage in his method of getting to the leak. Very knowledgeable and was great for information on what to do going forward. Highly recommend for anyone that needs a good plumber.

Why College Park Homeowners Choose Us
We have 260+ five-star Google reviews, and what they describe is mostly routine. The plumber was on time. The job cost what the quote said. The house was left tidy. Nobody writes a review like that for the drama. They write it because the day went the way we said it would.
College Park asks for care. Homes sit well back in gardens the council’s historic area rules recognise, so a drain from the house to the street can run under decades of lawn, paving and planting. We put a camera through first, reline where it suits so the garden and front fence stay where they are, and give you a fixed price agreed onsite before anything starts. The shops and offices on Payneham Road get the same approach, timed around their trading hours.
Servicing College Park & Every Suburb Along Its Edges
College Park’s longest edge is Harrow Road, and it is split down the middle: the even-numbered side is College Park and the odd side is St Peters. The western edge isn’t a road at all. It follows back fences and lanes such as Eton Lane, and beyond them is Hackney. Payneham Road forms a short south-eastern edge with Stepney on the far side, and Kent Town sits across North Terrace. Inside College Park we work along Torrens, Marlborough, Trinity and Baliol Streets, down rear lanes such as Oriel and Merton Lanes, and around Twelftree Reserve.
At its northern tip the suburb reaches the Linear Park, and across the River Torrens is Gilberton. Maylands doesn’t touch College Park, but it is a short way east beyond Stepney. Our plumbers work across all of them, so homes, rentals and businesses on either side of each of these lines get the same team and the same fixed quotes.
Frequently Asked Questions From College Park Locals
Owners of College Park’s older homes tend to ask how we can fix something without disturbing what makes the house worth keeping. Shopkeepers on Payneham Road want to know how long the water will be off. Both sets of questions are answered below, along with the ones everyone asks. Anything else, call 08 8152 9100.
My House Is In A Historic Area. Can You Fix The Drains Without Digging Up The Front Garden?
In most cases, yes. The council’s College Park Historic Area recognises homes set well back in landscaped grounds, open front gardens and low masonry-pillared fences, and the drain from the house to the street usually runs under all of it. We start with a camera to find exactly where the damage is. Where the pipe is suitable, we reline it from the inside through the existing openings, so there is no trench across the garden. If a repair would change anything visible from the street, we tell you before any work is booked so you can check with the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters.
My Shop Has A Flat Upstairs. What Happens If A Fault Affects Both?
Some of the heritage buildings on Payneham Road, the Bon Marche row among them, combine shops below with residences above, and in buildings like that the two can share some pipework. When a fault reaches both, we work out where it starts, tell the tenant, the resident and the owner what we found, and plan the repair so the shop can keep trading and the home upstairs keeps its water for as long as possible. The quote covers the whole job, agreed before we start.
Our Water Bill Jumped But We Can't See A Leak. Can You Find It Without Pulling Walls Apart?
That is exactly the situation leak detection is for. Many College Park homes have solid bluestone or sandstone walls and old tiled floors, where a slow leak can run for a long time without showing. We test the system and trace the water to its source before anything is opened up, so the only wall or floor that gets touched is the one hiding the problem. You get the finding and a price for the repair before any work begins.
Where Should A Heat Pump Go On A Heritage-Style Property?
Usually behind the front of the house, out of view from the street. College Park’s historic area rules pay attention to what the streetscape shows and favour carports and outbuildings sitting behind the building line. The same thinking suits an outdoor unit, so it usually belongs down the side or at the rear. We check the space, the distance to the bathrooms and the noise near bedrooms, then give you options with a fixed price for each. If the upfront cost is a concern, a Humm plan can take care of it in instalments.
Is My Harrow Road Home In College Park Or St Peters?
It depends which side of the road you are on. The even-numbered side of Harrow Road is College Park and the odd-numbered side is St Peters. Both are in the City of Norwood Payneham & St Peters, so the council side of your stormwater is handled by the same authority either way, and we work on both sides of the road with the same team.
Will I Know The Price Before Work Starts?
Yes. Our team provides an upfront quote on every job before any work begins. Our receptionist doesn’t have a price book, because their job is to keep the team running on schedule, dispatch plumbers and look after our customers. The quote is given onsite instead, with multiple options, so you never feel pressured one bit.
How Soon Can You Get A Plumber To College Park?
For an urgent job we can typically be there within 60 minutes, and for everything else we aim for a same day response. The phones are answered around the clock, weekends and public holidays included. Call 08 8152 9100 and tell us what’s going on.
As Well As Homes, Do You Work On The Shops, Offices & Cafés On Payneham Road?
Yes. College Park is not only homes. The heritage row on Payneham Road holds shopfronts, small offices in former homes and cafés, from the Bon Marche Building near the five-ways junction up to Harrow Road, and there is another café on Torrens Street. For a business we plan the work around trading hours, isolate only the section we need and tell you before the water goes off. Café and food businesses also need their grease arrestors and trade waste lines to suit SA Water’s trade waste requirements.
