Plumber in Woolloongabba, Brisbane
Woolloongabba is a busy junction suburb. Stanley Street, Logan Road and Ipswich Road meet at the Fiveways, the Gabba cricket ground and the Princess Alexandra Hospital are both here, and the Cross River Rail station is being built beneath the area. Behind the main roads are streets of timber workers’ cottages, newer townhouses and apartment towers, along with warehouses that now hold showrooms, cafes and offices. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, and does residential and commercial plumbing in Woolloongabba. Phone 0450 963 633.
Workers’ cottages
Small timber cottages on narrow lots are common between Logan Road and East Brisbane. Many still have the original galvanised water pipe, and some have bathrooms that were added on the back verandah decades ago with very little fall on the waste pipes. We replace corroded pipe, sort out slow drains and plumb new bathrooms and laundries when these homes are renovated or raised.
Apartments and townhouses
Newer buildings near the Fiveways and along Stanley Street have their own issues: leaking shower wastes into the unit below, failed mixer cartridges, noisy water hammer and hot water units in tight cupboards. For anything in shared pipework we liaise with the building manager or body corporate.
Shops, cafes and showrooms
Woolloongabba’s strip shops and converted warehouses need hand basins, staff kitchen plumbing, hot water and, for food businesses, grease arrestor connections and backflow prevention. We plan work around trading hours wherever possible.

Water and drainage
Urban Utilities provides water and sewerage in Woolloongabba. Parts of the suburb drain toward Norman Creek, and older stormwater connections on low-lying lots can back up in heavy rain, so we check outlets and the legal point of discharge when we work on downpipes.
