Straightforward Service for Local Properties

Newtown has Victorian terraces, shopfronts, apartments, restaurants and renovated homes, each with different plumbing needs. One property may have ageing pipes, while the next has a modern fit-out handling heavy daily use.

As a plumbing company based in Redfern, Sydney, we’re close to Newtown and familiar with the types of properties and businesses across the area. Our plumbers assess the system properly, pinpoint the cause and recommend the right repair from the start.

For businesses along King Street and around Newtown’s busy retail and dining precincts, timing is just as important. We plan work carefully, minimise disruption and explain what needs to be done before starting.

    A Little Local Colour: 5 Facts About the Area

    1

    King Street is the suburb’s best-known strip

    It is lined with restaurants, shops, pubs, theatres and long-running local businesses that give the area much of its character.

    2

    Terraces are a big part of the streetscape

    Many residential streets are filled with older terrace homes, which is one reason a plumber often comes across a mix of original and upgraded services.

    3

    Newtown sits close to the city

    Its inner-west location makes it a busy residential and commercial pocket with strong links to surrounding suburbs.

    4

    The area is known for live entertainment

    Venues around King Street and nearby Enmore have helped build a long-standing reputation for music, comedy and nightlife.

    5

    Street art is easy to spot

    Murals and painted walls are part of the visual identity of Newtown and change regularly as new work appears.

    Had a plumbing issue come up at the worst possible time and gave Civic Plumbing a call not really expecting anyone to pick up. They actually answered after hours and talked us through the whole thing with honest advice. Really refreshing dealing with someone who's not trying to upsell you on stuff you don't need. Would definitely recommend them to anyone around Sydney. 👍

    Water was comin up through all the drains in our bathroom, and even though I called up late afternoon Chris was still able to come out within a couple of hours. Pulled out a blockage the size of a small cat and was sorted without any fuss. This is the second time Civic has come through for us, we'll be sure to call them next time they're needed!
