    Top Plumbing Tips for Paddington Residents

    1

    Know your water shut-off points

    Locate your main valve before an emergency happens. Quick shut-off prevents extensive water damage while waiting for your plumber in Paddington.

    2

    Be gentle on your drains

    Avoid pouring fats, oils, and coffee grounds down the sink, especially in older Paddington homes. Use drain strainers to catch hair and food particles that are essential for maintaining smooth flow.

    3

    Watch for hidden leaks

    Damp patches, bubbling paint, or high water bills are warning signs. Contact us for accurate leak detection and repairs.

    4

    Maintain your hot water system

    Get your unit serviced annually. Our plumbers can inspect anodes, thermostats, and valves to improve performance and extend lifespan.

    What Our Clients Say

    Best plumbing service I’ve dealt with in a long time. Chris is superb. I was recommended by a family friend. Best to book ahead as he is very busy, but worth the wait. He took into account my mother’s arthritic needs as she had issues with turning the kitchen sink handles and resolved the leaking issue, and took the time to show and explain everything. Thank you, Chris. Hope to deal with you again for further plumbing solutions.

    Suzie Ferreira

    We had a Saturday morning plumbing emergency, with water backing into our downstairs bathroom. Chris arrived within an hour and was able to sort the issue quickly. He explained and demonstrated what the problem had been and provided great advice for possible long term solutions. I chose Civic based on being local and great google reviews and I’m glad we did.

    Ingrid Johnston

    Awesome service. Called up and had my hot water tank replaced. Chris the plumber even helped me out by removing a rusty screw. Great service, from first call to problem being fixed was less than 45 minutes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Explore our FAQs to get quick answers to common questions about our services. If you need further assistance, our support team is here to help.

    What counts as a plumbing emergency in Paddington?

    Emergencies include burst pipes, severe blockages, gas leaks, or major water loss. Our plumbers are available 24/7 to go to Paddington and usually arrive within the hour to prevent further damage.

    Are your plumbers licensed for gas fitting?

    Yes. All our plumbers are fully licensed gas fitters who follow Australian safety standards. We handle cooktop installations, gas leaks, and hot water systems, issuing Certificates of Compliance for all gas work.

    Do you provide fixed-price quotes?

    Absolutely. We assess your issue and give a clear, upfront quote before starting any work — no hidden fees or surprises.

    Why do Paddington homes often have blocked drains?

    A lot of older Paddington terraces still have vitrified clay drainage, and over time the joints can open up, sections can crack and tree roots can force their way into the line. We first clear the root mass and restore flow, then assess whether the damaged section is suitable for trenchless relining. Clay pipes can often be successfully relined with a resin liner that seals cracks and joints from the inside, creating a new pipe within the existing drain without the need to excavate long sections of the property.

    Can you help with renovation plumbing?

    Yes. We provide plumbing for bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovations across Paddington, including relocating fixtures, installing new water and drainage lines, upgrading old pipework, fitting toilets, showers, sinks, taps, dishwashers and washing machines, and making changes to hot water systems where required. We also work carefully with heritage homes and apartments to ensure the plumbing suits the property, meets current requirements and is completed to a high standard.

    5 Interesting Facts About Paddington

    1

    Paddington Town Hall was ground zero for Australia’s gay rights movement.

    The building hosted the planning meetings for Sydney’s first Mardi Gras in 1978, back when homosexuality was still illegal in NSW. It went on to host Australia’s first public meeting on HIV/AIDS in 1983 and the first official Mardi Gras after-party in 1980 — a quiet Victorian town hall sitting at the centre of a movement that changed the country.

    2

    Paddington Markets have run every Saturday since 1973.

    Held in the grounds of Paddington Uniting Church on Oxford Street, the markets host over 150 stalls of local designers, artists and makers. It’s one of Sydney’s longest continuously running weekly markets, with themed pop-ups like a Vinyl Records Fair rotating through the calendar.

    3

    Paddington’s chic reputation was built on illegal rum money.

    Long before boutique galleries and $3-million terraces, Paddington’s first landowners ran Australia’s first legal distillery, producing rum and gin from 1823. Juniper Hall, the grand mansion still standing on Oxford Street, is literally named after the gin that paid for it.

    4

    The suburb was almost entirely bulldozed in 1947.

    Sydney planners drew up an official document called “Paddington Replanning” that proposed tearing down virtually every terrace house in the suburb and replacing them with apartment blocks. It only survived because postwar migrants moved in and started renting the “undesirable” old houses instead.

    5

    The suburb turns purple every spring.

    Oxford Street near Victoria Barracks is one of Sydney’s best-known jacaranda bloom spots, with the flowering trees drawing photographers each spring — not far from the sunken Paddington Reservoir Gardens.

    Found CIVIC online - they responded quickly. Chris was quick on the phone and quick to get his team out. Better yet it was actually a local company not some dirty grifter from the western suburbs advertising in our area to try and get eastern suburbs money. I gave him about 10 things on the list and we agreed a price. The specialist was there early, did each task to a high standard and was very polite and courteous all the way through the work. Cleaned up after himself, checked everything with me and then asked if he could go. Manners - 100 out of 10. Top knotch. The price of the service was reasonable And the professionalism and courtesy was exceptional. I highly recommend them and we will use them again.

    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. 👍
