Plumber Gilberton
Licensed plumbers for Gilberton homes, apartments, rentals and offices, with landlords and property managers kept informed, written quotes and a Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee.
Gilberton Plumbers for Every Home, From the River Up
The kitchen tap won’t stop dripping. A damp patch is spreading under the bathroom vanity. The toilet takes three flushes to clear. None of it is an emergency yet, but you’d like it fixed by someone who tells you what is actually wrong.
We pick up 24/7. If water is spreading across a floor, we can typically be there within 60 minutes. For a slow leak under a vanity, we aim for a same day response. The plumber works out the cause, then writes the price down as a fixed quote, options included. Nothing gets started until you say so.

The Promise Behind Every Gilberton Job
Co-owners Michael Heinrich and Colin Archer-Bourke started with a van, a set of tools and a view that plumbing customers deserved better: a plumber who arrived when promised, a price that didn’t change and a job that stayed fixed. On that same view the business has grown into a team of six with more than 260 five-star Google reviews, and you can read those reviews in full.
Gilberton puts the idea to work on old fabric. Front gardens, fences and paths sit under heritage protection across much of the suburb, and the council’s heritage survey records stone and brick gutters in the northern streets. We repair from inspection openings wherever we can, work to AS/NZS 3500 and cover every job with our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee. The price is set before we begin.
Plumbing Services for Gilberton Homes, Units & Local Businesses
Gilberton has a good share of apartments, units and townhouses, so leaks between neighbours and strata approvals are an ordinary part of plumbing here. The large houses on the slope bring their own work: long private drains under mature trees, kitchens rebuilt in rear additions and, often, gas heating. Then there are the non-residential sites, from the council offices on the Stephen Terrace corner to a private hospital and consulting suites on Park Terrace, which need commercial plumbing that works to their timetable.
General Plumbing
Dripping taps in an older home on Gilbert Street, poor pressure in a big house on the slope, a laundry trough that drains slowly. Everyday repairs, found and priced before we pick up a tool.
Blocked Drains
Substantial street and garden trees send roots into old private drains, especially on the long runs north of Walkerville Terrace. We clear the blockage and show you what caused it.
Hot Water Systems
Compact units in apartment cupboards and larger systems for the big Gilberton houses up the slope, all working against Adelaide's hard water. We repair or replace them, quoted onsite.
24 Hour Plumber
A burst pipe in an upstairs unit, an overflowing toilet in a home with one bathroom, a leak at an office after hours. Call us any time of the day or night.
Taps & Toilets
Worn washers, noisy cisterns and old toilet suites in Gilberton homes, apartments and office washrooms. Small jobs, finished tidily at the price we agreed.
Pipe Relining
Where a cracked drain runs under a heritage front garden or path, we reline the pipe from the inspection opening and leave the street frontage exactly as it was.
Kitchen Renovations
Kitchens moved into rear additions on older homes, and big-house kitchens opened up to the garden. We handle the plumbing for a new kitchen from rough-in to final connection, working to your builder's timetable.
Stormwater Drains
Thames, Severn, Tyne, Mersey and Stour Streets run down to the Linear Park at the low end of Gilberton's fall. We sort out silted pits and cracked stormwater lines on your property.
Gas Heaters
Large, high-ceilinged houses north of Walkerville Terrace commonly still rely on gas heating. We service, repair and replace gas heaters, because a heater that goes unchecked is a carbon monoxide risk.
Hear from Our Happy Clients in Gilberton
Our plumbers work right through Gilberton, from Edwin Terrace and Gilbert Street down to Severn and Thames Streets. The reviews here come from customers across Adelaide.

Why Gilberton Homeowners, Tenants & Managers Choose Us
More than 260 five-star Google reviews, and hardly a dramatic one among them. People mention the plumber turning up on time, explaining things clearly and leaving no mess behind. We think that’s the right thing to be known for.
Gilberton’s two halves ask different things of that routine. South of Walkerville Terrace, access is tight and neighbouring drains can run close together, so we check whose line it is before anything is opened. North of it, a drain may run the length of a big garden under old trees, so the camera goes in first and relining is on the table before digging is. Either way you get a fixed quote agreed onsite, and strata managers, landlords and office managers get findings they can pass straight on.
You'll Find Our Plumbers in Gilberton & Surrounding Areas
Gilberton has four edges and a different neighbour on each. Across Stephen Terrace is Walkerville, where the shops on Walkerville Terrace are, and across Northcote Terrace is Medindie. Both belong to the Town of Walkerville, the same council as Gilberton. Park Terrace looks out over the Adelaide Park Lands. Within Gilberton itself we work along Gilbert Street, Edwin Terrace and Buckingham Street, and down Thames, Severn and Tyne Streets towards the river.
The River Torrens forms the fourth side, and the swing bridge at the end of Severn Street crosses to St Peters, in Norwood Payneham & St Peters. College Park and Hackney also face Gilberton across the water further along. Our plumbers work throughout all of them, for households, strata blocks and businesses, and every other suburb we cover is listed here.
What Gilberton Customers Ask Before Booking
The questions we get from Gilberton usually depend on which part of the suburb you’re in: the older streets by the river, the houses up the slope or the unit blocks near Park Terrace. Here are answers to the common ones. For anything else, call 08 8152 9100.
Our House Is In A Gilberton Historic Area. Can You Fix A Broken Drain Without Digging Up The Front?
Often, yes. Historic area overlays cover a large part of Gilberton, including Gilberton North above Walkerville Terrace, and they protect the streetscape of front gardens, fences and period houses. We run a camera through the drain to find the damage, and where the pipe suits it we reline it from the inspection opening, so the front path, fence line and garden stay as they are. If something visible would have to change, we tell you first so you can check with the Town of Walkerville.
Is Gilberton In Walkerville Council, & Who Looks After The Stormwater In My Street?
Yes, Gilberton is part of the Town of Walkerville, and the council’s civic centre, Town Hall and library are right here on the corner of Walkerville Terrace and Stephen Terrace. The council looks after the stormwater network in Gilberton’s side streets, while the downpipes, pits and pipes inside your property are yours, and council approval is needed before a stormwater pipe is run across the footpath to the kerb. On the flat streets towards the river, such as Thames, Severn and Tyne Streets, we also check where water from the slope above is ending up.
Water Is Coming Through Our Unit Ceiling From Upstairs. Can You Find The Source?
Yes. Gilberton has plenty of flats and apartments, many of them in the blocks towards Park Terrace, and in stacked buildings a leak often appears a floor below where it starts. We trace it to the source, isolate that section and give the owner, tenant and strata manager a clear account of what we found. The strata manager usually coordinates repairs to shared pipes, and we quote the work before it goes ahead.
We're Renovating The Kitchen At The Back Of An Older Home. What Plumbing Should We Plan For?
Start with the drain. In Gilberton’s older homes the kitchen often moves into a rear addition, and the new sink, dishwasher and any gas cooktop need a waste line with enough fall to reach the existing drain, which may be old itself. We check that line with a camera early, plan the water and waste positions with your builder or kitchen designer, and quote the plumbing before the cabinets are ordered. If the house is in a historic area, confirm any external changes with the Town of Walkerville.
How Do You Price A Job?
Every job gets an upfront quote before any work begins. Our receptionist unfortunately doesn’t have a price book, because their job is to keep the team running on schedule, send plumbers out to jobs and look after our customers. The plumber quotes onsite instead, with multiple options, so you never feel pressured one bit.
How Soon Can You Be In Gilberton?
We can typically be there within 60 minutes for an urgent problem, and we aim for a same day response on everything else. The phone is answered around the clock, 365 days a year. Call 08 8152 9100 and let us know what’s happened.
As Well As Homes, Do You Work On Businesses & Larger Sites In Gilberton?
Yes. Gilberton is mostly homes, but it also holds the Town of Walkerville’s civic centre, a private hospital with consulting suites on Park Terrace, a former chapel now used as commercial premises, and the redevelopment around the heritage Buckingham Arms at the Northcote Terrace corner. Sites like these need washrooms, kitchens and hot water kept running, so we schedule work around the working day and quote it before we start.
