What Commercial Work Do You Take On?

From a single tenancy to a small centre with shared services:

  • Greasy kitchen drains, sewers and stormwater pipes, opened with the jetter or eel and filmed
  • Hot water units in kitchens, staff rooms and amenities, repaired or replaced
  • Gas connections for commercial cooktops, fryers and water heaters by a licensed gas fitter
  • Tracing leaks on supply pipes to toilets, basins and laundries
  • Agent-managed tenancies, with photos and a detailed invoice on each job

A café floor waste backing up, a takeaway with no hot water, a clinic basin that drips all night: each is priced before it starts. If a job needs another trade as well, you hear about it at the start.

How We Run a Commercial Job

  1. 01

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4063 1093 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 02

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 03

    Work planned around trade

    Water shut-offs and noisy clearing are timed for the quiet periods you nominate, and the work area is left clean.

  4. 04

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

What Drives the Cost of a Commercial Job?

The size of the job leads: more fixtures and more pipe mean more time than a single repair.

  • Getting to the pipe, as a floor waste under a fitted kitchen is harder to reach than an open amenities room
  • Timing, with before-opening or after-close work charged as after-hours
  • The condition of what is there, since rusted steel or broken drains under an older building add work

Where the Commercial Work Sits Here

Neighbourhood-scale premises

Shortland's commercial buildings are small: the Shortland Shopping Village strip on Sandgate Road, a private hospital, a golf club and several schools. That suits a plumber who can arrive, price the job and finish without the doors closing.

The same wet ground

Commercial sites sit on the same low floodplain as the houses, where groundwater close to the surface keeps outdoor pits and gullies damp. Grease from food premises settles fast in drains with so little fall, which is why kitchen lines here benefit from scheduled jetting.

What Customers Say

Came in with smiles and did the job efficiently and during the morning rush in the cafe, mind you. No hindrance to our operations.

When We're Not the Right Call

Fire sprinklers, hydrants and fire hose reels are specialist work with their own licences, so we refer those on. A commercial cool room or refrigerated display that is leaking water needs a refrigeration mechanic first. Disagreements over who pays for a shared line sit with the owners corporation.

FAQs

Do you handle plumbing for the shops in the local shopping village?

Yes. A shop, café or takeaway in the village strip gets the same service, whether it is a choked floor waste or a dead hot water unit behind the counter. Work is planned so you can keep trading where possible, at a price agreed first.

Can you work around business hours so we don't have to close?

Yes. We are Available 24/7, so noisy or disruptive work can be booked before opening, after close or on a weekend. Those slots count as after-hours, which is built into the price you approve.

Do you service schools and medical premises here?

Yes. Clinics, consulting rooms and school buildings get work planned around patients, students and staff, with water shut-offs agreed beforehand and noisy clearing kept to quiet periods.

Do you offer maintenance contracts for commercial properties?

Yes. A maintenance contract can include scheduled drain camera checks, hot water servicing and gas appliance safety checks, so a small fault is found before it shuts the doors. Scope and price are set together at the start.
