A Colliery Cottage Grid With Colliery Pipes

Built around a bridge

Tighes Hill took shape after a colliery bridge crossed the creek in the 1870s, and the housing that followed is weatherboard and brick from the Victorian and Federation years. Census figures put 683 dwellings here, and 86.5 per cent of those are separate houses.

The drains are as old as the houses

Sewers here go back to the 1890s, the era of the tram, and the old earthenware sections give way one joint at a time beneath the cottages. The street trees that shade the grid push roots into cracked lines under the front gardens, so drain work here starts with the camera rather than the cable.

The water side has its own story

Plenty of the weatherboard stock was piped in steel that has since furred solid with rust, and renovators opening walls find supply runs that need renewing back to the boundary. Because the ground drops to the creek on two sides, a lower trench fills with water fast, and we price that in from the start rather than spring it on you.

The Work We Do Here

Four hubs cover the trade, and each one suits something this suburb throws up:

Blocked drain clearing

From the cottage grid to the commercial strip on old industrial land

Hot water repairs and systems

Including heat pump installs for the older stock

Gas fitting

From cooktops to leak checks

Emergency plumbing

For burst galvanised risers and gullies surcharging on the flat falls

What the Jobs Look Like

The heritage grid sets the work

Victorian and Federation cottages and brick terraces fill the core, with the TAFE campus on the western side and newer commercial buildings on former industrial land by the eastern boundary.

The faults follow the housing

A blocked clay sewer under a terrace row, an external electric tank rusted through behind a laundry, and flexi hoses in renovated bathrooms whose braid gives out early in the salty air.

Whatever the fault, the process holds. We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

Common Questions

Do you clear the old clay sewers under the cottages here?

Yes. Parts of this suburb still drain through earthenware lines from the 1890s, and those joints crack and drop one at a time. We clear the blockage, run a camera through to show you the pipe wall, and quote the lasting fix, whether that is relining or a sectional repair.

Can you replace the galvanised water pipes in an older house here?

Yes. Renovators in this suburb pull off walls to find steel supply lines rusted shut, which shows up as weak flow to a back bathroom. We renew the corroded run back to the boundary and quote the whole job up front before the wall comes off.
