0450 963 633Plumber in Fortitude Valley, Brisbane
Fortitude Valley is mostly commercial and high-density: restaurants and bars around Chinatown Mall and the Brunswick Street Mall, the James Street precinct, offices, and apartment towers that keep rising between them. A handful of older timber houses and brick shopfronts survive in the side streets. Plumbing work here is often about keeping a business trading or a building running. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, and provides plumbing for Fortitude Valley tenancies, apartments and houses. Call 0450 963 633.
Restaurant and bar plumbing
Hospitality tenancies need hand basins in the right places, floor wastes that drain, hot water that keeps up with service and grease arrestors connected correctly. Discharging commercial kitchen waste to sewer generally needs a trade waste approval from Urban Utilities, so when a kitchen is refitted or a new tenant moves in, the arrestor and its connections should be checked against what the approval requires. Blocked arrestor outlets and glass washers on the wrong waste are common call-outs in bar fit-outs.
Apartment towers
In a tower, a leak inside one lot soon becomes a problem for the lots below and the building as a whole. We isolate and repair leaking showers, vanities and dishwasher connections, replace failed mixers and pressure limiting valves, and work with the building manager when the fault is in a riser, pump room or common hot water system.
Heritage shopfronts and older buildings
Older Valley buildings converted to cafes, studios and small offices sometimes still have cast iron stacks and galvanised supply pipe. When those are opened up during a refit, it is usually the right time to replace them rather than connect new fixtures to tired pipe.
