Forestville Plumbers Who Turn Up When They Say
A cistern that hisses all night, a laundry tub that fills when the washing machine empties, a cold shower on a winter morning. Nobody wants to wait days for those. You want a plumber who arrives when promised and leaves it fixed.
So when you book, you get a time, and we work hard to keep it. Same day service is what we aim for. The plumber explains the fault, prices each fix in writing, and starts only once you say go.

The Standard Behind Every Forestville Job
Co-owners Michael Heinrich and Colin Archer-Bourke were two mates with a van and a shared belief that Adelaide families deserve better than unreliable tradies and surprise bills. They built Adelaide Expert Plumbing & Gas around turning up on time, explaining things properly and charging what was quoted. Read about how the business began. Today it is a team of six with more than 260 five-star Google reviews.
Forestville asks for care. A pair of older homes that share a wall often share a drain too, and a bakery or café cannot lose its water for long. We explain what we find, work to AS/NZS 3500 for water and AS 5601 for gas, and back every job with our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee. For bigger work, spreading the cost with Humm is an option, subject to terms and conditions the team can explain. Fair prices and genuine care.
Plumbing Services for Forestville Homes, Townhouses & Local Businesses
Forestville’s plumbing ranges from homes more than a century old to townhouses finished in the last few years. We work on older stone and brick homes near the railway, houses along First, Second and Third Avenues, units and townhouses, and the new homes on the old Le Cornu site. On the commercial side, we look after cafés, shops, showrooms and warehouses on Leader Street and Maple Avenue. Every job is quoted onsite at a fixed price.
General Plumbing
Leaking taps, noisy pipes and dripping mixers in Forestville's older homes, avenue houses and townhouses. We find the cause, quote the repair and complete it tidily.
Blocked Drains
Roots from established gardens and old drain joints are common causes in the older streets. We clear blocked drains and use a camera to show you why.
Hot Water Systems
Replacing a system on a heritage-listed home or in a compact townhouse takes some planning about where it can go. We repair and replace hot water systems of every type.
24 Hour Plumbing
A burst pipe, an overflowing toilet or no water at all can happen at any hour. We answer emergency plumbing calls day and night, all year round.
Taps & Toilets
Worn tap washers, running cisterns and loose toilet pans in homes, cafés and shops. Everyday repairs done properly, at a price agreed before we start.
Pipe Relining
When an old drain runs under a heritage-listed home or a shared wall, digging it up is a last resort. We reline the damaged pipe from the inside wherever the line allows it.
Gas Heaters
Many of Forestville's older homes still keep their tall chimneys, and a gas heater beside an old fireplace should not be ignored. We service, repair and replace gas heaters and check them for carbon monoxide safety.
Bathtub Installation
Many older Forestville homes were built small, with the bathroom added later at the back. We install new baths in tight Forestville bathrooms without disturbing more than we need to.
Blocked Sinks
Busy home kitchens and the café kitchens on Leader and Leah Streets both send grease down the sink. We clear blocked kitchen and laundry sinks and tell you what caused it.
What Forestville Locals Say About Us
We work right through Forestville, from Charles and Ethel Streets to Forestville Reserve and the shops on Leader Street. What follows is feedback from customers throughout 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.

Why Forestville Homeowners & Businesses Choose Us
Most of our 260+ five-star Google reviews read the same way. The plumber arrived when we said, explained the problem clearly, did the work for the quoted price and left everything clean. Nobody is writing about a miracle, and that suits us fine.
In Forestville, many older homes share a wall, one drain can serve two households, and the pipework has been added to over more than a century. We take the time to find exactly where a problem sits and explain it to everyone it affects. Shops, cafés and showrooms get work planned around their trading hours. Whoever you are, the price is agreed onsite before we start.
From Forestville to the Suburbs Next Door
Forestville’s edges are a mix of roads, rail and back fences. The Belair and Seaford railway runs along the east, with Goodwood beyond it. To the west, the avenues run into Everard Park, and across the short stretch of Anzac Highway at the north-west corner is Ashford. The northern edge backs onto Keswick and its barracks, the Glenelg tram line forms the south-western edge with Black Forest across it, and the back fences to the south adjoin Millswood. Within Forestville our plumbers cover Charles, Ethel, Leah and Nichols Streets, First and Second Avenues, and Maple Avenue.
We work across every one of those neighbouring suburbs, for homes, rentals and businesses, with the same fixed onsite quote. If you are not sure which suburb your address falls in, give us a call. The answer will not change who comes out.
Common Plumbing Questions in Forestville
Forestville mixes old and new, and the questions we get reflect that. Owners of heritage-listed homes ask about approvals and old fireplaces, buyers of the new townhouses ask whether we look after new builds, and businesses on Leader Street and Maple Avenue ask about commercial work. Below are the ones that come up most often. For anything else, ring 08 8152 9100.
We Live In A Heritage-Listed Home On Charles Street. Can You Work On It?
Yes. The stone pairs on Charles Street and the bluestone homes on Ethel Street are local heritage places, and plumbing work in them simply needs more planning. We look at where pipes, fixtures and any new hot water unit will go before starting, keep changes to the original fabric to a minimum, and talk you through anything that may need council approval.
Is My Address Forestville, Goodwood Or Black Forest?
It depends which line you are near. The railway is the line with Goodwood, and the Glenelg tram line is the line with Black Forest, so Aroha Terrace changes suburb where it crosses the tram. First and Second Avenues are Forestville, while Laught Avenue is Black Forest. Give us the street and we will tell you. We work in all three, so it only changes the address on the invoice.
Do You Do Commercial Plumbing On Leader Street & Maple Avenue?
Yes. Forestville has the bakery on Leah Street, cafés, shops, showrooms and warehouse tenancies on Leader Street, Leah Street and Maple Avenue. We look after kitchens, staff amenities, grease traps, hot water and general repairs, quote onsite, and plan the work around your trading hours.
We Bought One Of The New Townhouses On The Old Le Cornu Site. Do You Look After New Builds?
Yes. Newer homes have their own plumbing needs, including rooftop and courtyard drainage, modern tapware and compact hot water systems. We can handle repairs, maintenance and additions, and we will explain what we find in plain terms. Anything that may be covered by your builder’s warranty, we will point out before starting work.
Our House Has An Old Gas Heater By The Fireplace. Should It Be Checked?
Yes. A gas heater that has not been serviced in years can develop problems you cannot see, and carbon monoxide risk is why gas heater servicing matters. We inspect the heater, the gas connection and the flue, service it if it is sound, and tell you plainly if it needs replacing. Adelaide Expert Plumbing & Gas holds licence PGE #360928, and every plumber on the team holds a current individual licence.
How Do I Get A Price?
We give you one onsite. Our team provides upfront quotes on all jobs prior to commencing any work. Unfortunately our receptionist does not have access to a price book, because their job is to keep the team on schedule, dispatched to jobs and our customers looked after. You will get multiple options, so you never feel pressured one bit.
Can You Help Outside Business Hours?
Yes. We are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. For urgent jobs we can typically be there within 60 minutes, and we aim for a same day response for everything else. Call 08 8152 9100 and let us know what is going on.
