The plumbers Willoughby calls — day or night
Willoughby is a suburb in two time zones at once. Its tree-lined streets have been established for over a century and right in the middle of them, the old Channel Nine studios on Artarmon Road, where Australian television began in 1956, have become a brand-new precinct of apartments. So on any given week we’re working on plumbing from both ends of a hundred years, original pipework in long-established homes, and warranty-era systems in buildings finished this decade. And because pipes don’t respect business hours in either, we answer emergencies seven days a week. Here’s why Willoughby residents call us:
Our Services
Emergency and everyday plumbing across Willoughby
More Willoughby locals search for an emergency plumber than any other kind and it’s easy to see why. In an established home, a burst pipe or blocked sewer arrives without warning; in a new apartment, a leak can reach the neighbours below before you’ve found the tap. We’re set up for both the 2am emergency and the booked-in job.
Truly local plumbers
Covering Willoughby, North Willoughby and Willoughby East
Ready Set Plumb is based in Roseville, a short drive up the Pacific Highway, a genuinely local North Shore team, not a franchise badge or a call centre routing your job to whoever’s cheapest.
Willoughby gives its name to the whole council area, and it’s one of the oldest-established suburbs on the Lower North Shore, which is exactly what makes its plumbing interesting right now. For 64 years the suburb was best known as the home of Channel Nine, Australia’s first television broadcast went out from the Artarmon Road studios in September 1956, under a 233-metre transmission tower that defined the local skyline. Nine has since moved out, the tower has been dismantled, and the old studio site is becoming a precinct of around 400 new apartments. That’s Willoughby in miniature, century-old homes on tree-lined streets, with the suburb’s newest buildings rising in the middle of them. For us, that means two very different kinds of work in one postcode, ageing pipework, hot water systems and drainage in the established homes around High Street and Penshurst Street, and strata and apartment plumbing in the new buildings. We handle both, around the clock when it can’t wait.
