Your local Maylands plumbers for homeowners, landlords and tenants, plus the local shopfronts, property managers included, with upfront quotes and 24/7 cover.
Maylands Plumbers You Can Count On
The gas heater won’t light, the pipes bang every time a tap shuts off, or the bath takes forever to drain. These are the jobs people put off until they can’t. You want them looked at properly, by someone who explains it plainly.
We’ve worked on houses like these long enough to know where to look first. Call any time: when a job is pressing, we can typically be there within 60 minutes; if it can sit till the afternoon, we aim for a same day response. You see what we found, get a fixed written price, and decide before work begins.

Our Commitment to Maylands Customers
Co-owners Michael Heinrich and Colin Archer-Bourke didn’t set out to build a big company. They started as two mates with a van, tired of hearing about plumbers who never turned up or padded the bill, and they decided to run things the opposite way. That approach has grown into a team of six and more than 260 five-star Google reviews.
In Maylands the commitment is usually tested inside older houses: a second bathroom tied into original drainage, or a gas heater in a high-ceilinged room where the flue route takes some thought. We explain the options honestly, work to AS/NZS 3500 and AS 5601, and back the result with our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee. Straight quotes, careful work and a clean floor when we leave.
Plumbing, Gas & Hot Water Services Across Maylands
Most of Maylands is freestanding period housing under historic and character overlays, so older homes here tend to be updated rather than knocked down. That shapes our work: new bathrooms joined to old drains, hot water moved to suit an extension, gas heaters serviced and replaced. The main roads add commercial work, from the pub kitchen on Phillis Street to shopfronts and offices on Magill Road. Bigger jobs can be spread out with payment options through Humm, and every quote is fixed before work begins.
General Plumbing
Water hammer in old pipework, a laundry tucked into a lean-to, a garden tap leaking beside a verandah footing. Everyday plumbing for Maylands homes, quoted onsite before we start.
Blocked Drains & Tree Roots
House drains on bigger Maylands blocks pass more garden and more roots on the way to the boundary. We clear the roots out of the line and tell you honestly if the pipe needs more than a clean.
Hot Water Repairs & Replacements
A tank in a lean-to laundry, or a new unit needed once a rear extension moves the kitchen. Repaired when that's the sensible call, replaced when it isn't, with Adelaide's hard water taken into account.
Emergency Plumbing, 24/7
A burst pipe under an old timber floor, a toilet overflowing at midnight, a smell of gas near a heater. Ring at any hour and we'll get a licensed plumber on the way, weekends included.
Taps & Toilets
Period-style tapware on a new vanity, a cistern that won't stop running, a tired toilet suite swapped for a new one. Tidy work, with no dust left on the floorboards.
Bathroom Renovations
Adding a second bathroom to an older Maylands house usually means new drainage meeting pipes laid long ago. We take care of bathroom plumbing from strip-out to handover.
CCTV Drain Inspections
A camera shows exactly where roots or a cracked joint sit under a Maylands garden, so the repair can target one spot instead of trenching past established trees and old paving.
Gas Heaters
Big rooms in older homes are commonly heated with gas. We service or replace a gas heater, check the flue and ventilation, and leave you a compliance certificate, because carbon monoxide is not worth a gamble.
Blocked Sinks
Commercial kitchens, from the corner pub on Phillis Street to food shops on Magill Road, send grease down the sink waste every day. We clear blocked sinks in homes and kitchens alike.

Why Maylands Homeowners & Business Owners Choose Us
Ask what’s in our 260+ five-star Google reviews and the honest answer is: not much drama. People mention a plumber who turned up on time, a price that didn’t budge and a bench wiped down before we left. Rarely exciting, and exactly the point.
Maylands houses are often bigger than people expect, and most have been altered more than once. The council’s historic area statement records a greater share of larger allotments and larger homes here than in Stepney, which in practice means longer drain runs, extensions built onto original rooms and newer bathrooms relying on older pipework. Business owners on Magill Road get the same approach: we find the fault before we price it, and the quote is fixed before anything starts. All of it is backed by our Lifetime Workmanship Guarantee.
We Service Maylands & Surrounding Suburbs
Maylands shares real borders with only a few suburbs. Stepney sits across Bennett Street to the west, and Evandale starts on the far side of Janet Street, which is why Frederick Street changes suburbs partway along. Norwood is over Magill Road and Trinity Gardens over Portrush Road. Further west, beyond Stepney and across Payneham Road, are St Peters, College Park and Hackney, the suburb that is home to St Peter’s College. Inside Maylands itself we work along Augusta, Phillis, Dover and Clifton Streets, most of Frederick Street, and the streets around Cruickshank Reserve.
Our plumbers work right across this part of Adelaide, in homes and in shopfronts, and a Maylands job gets exactly the same fixed quote as anywhere else. If your street sits on a boundary and you’re unsure which suburb you’re in, it makes no difference to us. Just call.
Questions Maylands Locals Ask Us Most
Most of what Maylands customers ask us comes back to older houses and what’s hidden inside them: drains under established gardens, pipes behind original walls, heaters that have been running for years. The questions below cover what comes up again and again. Can’t see yours? Call 08 8152 9100 at any hour.
Do You Work On The Homes Inside The Old Tram Depot On Magill Road?
Yes. The former tram depot at 179 Magill Road is now a group of homes inside one building on the State Heritage Register. Homes created inside one heritage building commonly share services somewhere along the line, so we trace which pipes belong to which dwelling before we start, keep changes to the original fabric to a minimum, and deal with the strata or community corporation where common property is involved. Give us the unit number when you call.
Why Does My Big Maylands Block Keep Getting Blocked Drains?
Size is part of it. The council’s historic area statement notes that Maylands has a greater share of larger allotments than neighbouring Stepney, so the drain from the house to the boundary is often longer and passes more garden on the way. Tree roots and Adelaide’s shifting clay soil both find their way into older joints over time. A camera inspection shows where the trouble is, so we can clear or repair that section rather than guess.
I'm Adding A Bathroom To My Older Maylands Home. Where Do We Start?
With the drains you already have. Before any layout is locked in, we inspect the existing sanitary line to see its condition and where a new bathroom can connect. Then we work with you or your builder on the rough-in, set the hot water up to reach the new room, and fit off once the tiling is done. Much of Maylands sits under historic or character overlays, so if the work changes the outside of the house, check with council before you commit.
Do You Look After Pubs, Shops & Clinics In Maylands?
We do. Maylands has a corner hotel on Phillis Street, shopfronts and offices along Magill Road, and a medical clinic and church halls on Portrush Road. Food premises need their grease arrestors and trade waste lines working, and SA Water requires a trade waste authorisation before trade waste is discharged, under the Water Industry Act 2012. We schedule commercial jobs around trading hours and tell you in advance if the water needs to go off.
Will I Know The Cost Before Any Work Starts?
Yes. Our team gives an upfront quote on every job before work begins. Our receptionist doesn’t have a price book to quote from, since their role is keeping the team on schedule, dispatching plumbers and looking after customers. Instead a plumber quotes onsite, with a few options laid out so you never feel pressured one bit.
Is There A Plumber Available After Hours In Maylands?
Yes, around the clock. We can typically be there within 60 minutes for an urgent job, and we aim for a same day response for anything that can wait a little. Burst pipes, overflowing toilets and gas smells don’t keep office hours, so neither do we. Call 08 8152 9100.
