Plumbing done properly since 2005
Tidewater is nine plumbers and gasfitters working out of Avondale. We do the unglamorous half of the job properly: drains that stop blocking, hot water that stays hot, and gas work certified the day it is finished. We have been doing it for twenty years, which mostly means we have seen your problem before and can tell you on the phone roughly what it will cost.
Opening hours
Monday to Friday, 7am - 6pm Saturday mornings by arrangement 24-hour emergency line
How a job runs
Four steps, whether it is a dripping tap or a full re-pipe.
Tell us what is wrong
Ring or send a message. Most problems we can price roughly over the phone before anyone drives anywhere.
We take a look
A proper diagnosis on site, including when the honest answer is that it does not need replacing yet.
You get a fixed price
In writing, covering parts and labour. If something else turns up, you get a call, not a bigger invoice.
We do it and certify it
Booked for a day that suits, tested before we leave, and the gas or backflow paperwork sent through.
