The Team Behind the Number
Carrington Plumbing Co is the plumbing and gas team for Carrington, Tighes Hill and Maryville in Newcastle. The work runs from sewer clears and hot water swaps to gas fitting and night-time bursts. At the last census Carrington held 856 dwellings, 61.6 per cent of them separate houses, with Victorian and Federation cottages at the core. Fixed prices come first; the About page explains who we are.

How Quotes Work Here
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
It costs nothing to get us out to your door (excluding after-hours).
The price on a Carrington job comes down to four things:
- Access A cottage with a tight subfloor or a paved yard takes longer to work in than an open one.
- Pipe material Cutting out a rusted galvanised supply line costs more than fixing newer copper.
- Parts The unit or fitting chosen, from a replacement cylinder to a section of pipe.
- After-hours A night or weekend visit costs more than a weekday one.
When we're not the right call: a switchboard fault needs an electrician, and a crumbling retaining wall around a drain is a builder's job, and both get referred on to that trade.

Common Questions From the Peninsula
Do you cover all of Carrington?
Yes. The whole peninsula sits on one run, from the harbour side to the creek side, and out over the bridge to Tighes Hill, Maryville, Newcastle West and Wickham. One crew covers blocked drains, gas work, hot water units and emergency callouts across all of it.
What will the job cost before work starts?
You approve a fixed price first, and the invoice matches it. Access, pipe material and parts all shift the price, and so does the hour you call. Nothing begins until you say go.
Are you available after hours?
Yes. Nights, weekends and public holidays are all covered, so a burst at 3am or a blocked sewer on a Sunday gets the same crew. Work outside business hours costs more, and the extra is built into the fixed figure you approve.
Can you work on both water and gas?
Yes, our plumbers are licensed gas fitters as well, so a job that touches both, like a gas hot water changeover, is handled by one crew. Gas leaks, appliance installs and pipe work sit alongside the usual water-side plumbing.
Can you find what is wrong with a drain without digging?
The drain camera is pushed through the pipe and shows the fault on screen, whether it is tree roots, a displaced joint or a collapsed section. The footage decides the fix, from jetting to relining, before any shovel comes out.
Which nearby suburbs do you cover?
Tighes Hill, Maryville, Newcastle West and Wickham, all of them sitting the far side of the Throsby Creek bridge. Each has its own page on this site with local pipe and drainage detail, and the same fixed quoting and warranty apply.
