The St Ives plumbers for mid-century homes
St Ives is the odd one out on the Upper North Shore. When the railway came through in 1890 and the other Ku-ring-gai suburbs filled with Federation homes, the train never reached St Ives, it stayed orchards and farms until it boomed after the war. That’s why most St Ives homes are post-war, 1950s, ’60s and ’70s houses, plenty of them project homes. Those homes are now fifty to seventy years old, which is exactly when the original copper and galvanised pipework, the first hot water system and the old wet areas start to give out. That’s a lot of what we do here. Ready Set Plumb is based just across in Roseville, in the same council area, Ku-ring-gai. Here’s why St Ives homeowners call us:
Our Services
Services provided by our St Ives Plumbers
St Ives is a suburb of mostly post-war homes, 1950s to 1970s houses and project homes on leafy blocks, stretching north into the bush at St Ives Chase against the national parks. Homes of that age reach a point where the plumbing needs bringing up to date, original pipework, ageing hot water systems, and kitchens and bathrooms due for a refresh. We handle all of it.
Truly local plumbers
Covering St Ives and St Ives Chase, the suburb the train never reached
Ready Set Plumb is based in Roseville, in the same council area as St Ives, Ku-ring-gai, and connected to it by the Eastern Arterial Road that runs from Boundary Street, Roseville. So we’re a genuinely local team, a short drive across.
St Ives has an unusual history for the North Shore, it’s the one Ku-ring-gai district the 1890 railway never reached, so while its neighbours filled with Federation homes along the line, St Ives stayed orchard country until the 1950s. It was only rezoned from rural to residential in 1959, and most of the suburb was built in the two decades after,1950s, ’60s and ’70s family homes and project homes. For plumbing, that shared age matters, across St Ives, original copper and galvanised pipework, first-generation hot water systems, and 1960s and ’70s bathrooms and kitchens are all reaching the end of their life at around the same time. Repipes, hot water replacements, leak detection and bathroom plumbing are the bread and butter of our St Ives work. Further north, St Ives Chase sits right against Ku-ring-gai Chase and Garigal National Parks, so out there we also know the drainage that comes with a home on a big bush block.
Ready Set Plumb services St Ives, St Ives Chase and North St Ives, plus the surrounding Ku-ring-gai suburbs including Pymble, Gordon, Turramurra and back to our Roseville base. Explore our full North Shore plumbing services.
