Yes. Plumbing in a unit block has one question a house doesn't: who owns the pipe. It usually depends on where the leak is and what that pipe serves, so find the leak before anyone agrees who pays.
As a rough guide, pipes that serve only your unit and sit inside it, but not in a wall, floor or ceiling on its boundary, are usually yours. Pipes that serve more than one unit, or run through common property, are usually the body corporate's. Your building's plan and by-laws decide the details, so check them before anyone splits a big repair bill.
Before you renovate a bathroom or kitchen in a unit, check your body corporate's by-laws. Moving a drain through the floor slab, or changing anything on common property, usually needs approval first. Many buildings also limit the hours when noisy work like drilling and cutting can happen. If approval is needed, get it in writing before the work starts.
If your shower is weak on an upper floor, the cause may be the building's booster pump rather than anything in your unit. That pump is usually the body corporate's. We test the pressure at your taps and tell you whether the fault is inside your unit or in the building's supply, so the right people fix it.
We also plumb fit-outs and refurbishments for cafes, shops and offices. Most fit-outs need the water off at some stage, so tell us your trading hours when you book.

Dripping taps, running toilets and new tapware for owners, landlords and property managers.Chris was always on time and professional workmanship, great to use a local trade, would recommend
Would highly recommend Chris, he answered my call promptly and talked me through everything over the phone when my hot water system failed. He arrived on time and replaced the old system without fuss or delay keeping me updated along the way. Left the site cleaner than when he started, took all the rubbish and you wouldn’t have noticed he was there. Down to earth guy and no spin, just got on with it! Thank you.

We would be very happy to recommend Blue Bourke plumbing, Chris installed two toilet suites to our home yesterday, the installations were great and his clean up faultless. We will absolutely be using their services again. Thanks Chris

Tell us the unit number, where we can park and how we get in, whether that's a key, a fob, an intercom or the building manager. Visitor parking is tight in a lot of buildings, so if there's a loading bay or a space we can use for the van, let us know.
If other units will lose water, tell the building manager first so they can warn the owners. Ring 0413 291 781 or send the quote form and we'll book it in.
Send the quote form with your address and unit number, what's happening and a photo if you can. Or ring 0413 291 781, Monday to Friday. If the job touches common property, tell us who your building manager is.
