Plumber Northwood: Fixed-Price Plumbing on the River Peninsula
1000+ five-star reviews
Northwood is a tiny riverside peninsula of barely 900 residents at the last census. It grew around Edmund Blacket's 1878 Northwood House, with substantial detached homes stepping down sandstone blocks toward Woodford Bay. Our Greenwich plumbing team works these streets constantly, from Kellys Esplanade up to the River Road ridge.

Repair or replace? The question Northwood's older homes keep asking
Tightly held family homes, many going decades between sales, still run original galvanised water services behind heritage brick and weatherboard fabric. Victorian and Federation-era stock around the Northwood House precinct hides pipework and hot water units well beyond typical replacement age.
So the honest question on most jobs here is not "can it be patched?" but "should it be?" We answer it straight:
- A worn valve gets repaired A corroded steel service that has thinned for decades gets replaced before it fails over timber floors.
- An ageing hot water unit gets a clear call Where a swap is due, replacements get carried down the steep Cliff Road driveways by plumbers who plan for that access before they arrive.
- Either way, the price is fixed You receive the written price before any work begins.
What we cover across Northwood
Whatever the fault, it routes through one of our four service hubs:
- Emergency plumbing Burst lines, blocked mains after rain, toilets overflowing, no hot water and gas leaks, answered day and night.
- General plumbing Tap and shower repairs, bathroom and kitchen work, leak detection and everything an owner-occupied house needs.
- Drainage Blocked drains, sewers, stormwater and CCTV diagnosis for the root-choked old lines threading down to the foreshore.
- Hot water Repairs, replacements and new installations sized to how your household actually lives.
Why the peninsula's plumbing behaves the way it does
Heavy tree canopy on the big riverside blocks feeds roots into ageing clay and earthenware sewers, the standard cause when drains here choke. The peninsula also drops steeply from the ridge down Cliff and Upper Cliff Roads toward the Lane Cove River.
Stormwater accelerates down those grades in heavy rain
The brackish river air keeps foreshore homes mildly salt-exposed
Why Northwood locals call us

Good questions, straight answers
Questions Northwood homeowners ask
Can you replace hot water systems on steep blocks?
Yes. End-of-life systems in the tightly held peninsula homes fail suddenly, and our vans are stocked so the replacement is usually done on the first visit, carried down steep driveways safely.
Do you clear tree-root blockages without digging up gardens?
Yes. We cut roots with mechanical cutters and jet the line clean, then a camera inspection shows whether the cracked joints need relining, which repairs from inside without trenching.
Can you help after hours on the peninsula?
Yes. A licensed plumber answers the phone day or night, every day of the year, including weekends and public holidays.
Are your prices fixed before you start?
Yes. You receive a single fixed written price before any work begins, and the call out fee is $0 whether you proceed or not.
