## What we do not take on
- We are plumbers and gas fitters. We do not do asbestos removal. Where a job requires cutting into material that may contain bonded asbestos, the removal is referred to a licensed asbestos removalist before we continue.
- We do not do roof replacement, tiling, waterproofing membranes as a standalone trade, or electrical work beyond disconnection and reconnection of the systems we install.
- We do not quote plumbing sight-unseen on a job that needs a camera or a pressure test. Where a phone diagnosis is not honest, we say so.
- We do not service commercial kitchens, industrial process pipework, or fire services.
- We do not charge an after-hours surcharge that was not disclosed on the phone before attending.
- We do not add a charge afterwards for the distance equipment had to be carried. Access is priced into the quote.

## Local knowledge (Campbelltown specifics)
- One fact shapes most jobs here, and it is about the shape of the street rather than the pipe: a good deal of Campbelltown was built to a layout used almost nowhere else in Sydney.
- **Five estates were built back to front.** The Radburn principles were applied to five Housing Commission of NSW estates in the Campbelltown area between 1972 and 1989: Airds, Macquarie Fields, Claymore, Minto and Ambarvale. Radburn houses are designed deliberately back to front, with the front door facing a pedestrian walkway and common open space and the back door facing the street, and with pedestrian and vehicle circulation separated on purpose. The documented result was a streetscape of high blank fences enclosing backyards.
- **The plumbing consequence, and the most useful thing to tell a Campbelltown resident: the address side and the access side are not the same side.** A van can only reach the fence. Whether there is a gate in that fence, and how wide it is, decides what equipment reaches the job and how long it takes. Three questions on the phone (which door faces the road, is there a gate, how wide) are the difference between one visit and two.
- **A hot water tank is the one thing that will not fit through a person gate.** The old unit has to come out and a new one go in by the same route. Where the gate is too narrow, a fence panel comes off and goes back, priced into the quote, or a wall-mounted continuous flow unit removes the problem permanently.
- **Some drainage runs under common open space.** Pedestrian reserves and shared greens sit between the houses rather than behind them, so a fault can present on land that is not part of any private yard. That section may not be the householder's to pay for, which is why we locate the run and mark where it leaves the boundary.
- **Excavation is a poor option here.** A trench would often cross a walkway or shared green, meaning opening land the owner does not own, getting permission, and closing a path other households use. An excavator cannot reach the front of a back-to-front house anyway, so digging becomes hand digging. Relining goes in on foot through existing access.
- **The layouts change street by street.** From 1995 the state began de-Radburnisation through the Neighbourhood Improvement Program, and Minto and Claymore were heavily redeveloped. Some streets were reversed to conventional frontages and others were left as built, so a neighbour's layout is no guide to any given address.
- **The water meter is at the street, which is the back.** Everything from the meter to the house is the owner's responsibility, and on these blocks that run crosses the whole yard before reaching a tap. It is buried the entire way, so a leak on it produces no visible sign and the meter test is the reliable diagnostic.
- **Winters here are cold and gas heaters are worked hard.** Overnight temperatures drop close to freezing, so heating runs for months rather than occasionally. That makes heater servicing, combustion testing and carbon monoxide testing genuinely important. A cracked heat exchanger is the classic cause and is not visible from the front of the unit; carbon monoxide has no colour, no smell and no taste.
- Campbelltown grew rapidly through the 1970s and 1980s, with sewerage works, rail electrification and the Liverpool-Minto freeway opening the district from 1970.
- Sydney's water is soft, so a failed hot water system here is a spent anode or element rather than limescale.
