Plumber Clarkson

Clarkson WA 6030, City of Wanneroo. About 34 km north of the Perth CBD.

Clarkson is an outer northern suburb thirty-four kilometres north of the Perth CBD in the City of Wanneroo, serving as a major satellite town centre with a railway station and public transport hub on the Yanchep line. It is named after the Clarksons, a family of sheep farmers who held leases in the area from 1888 as the Mindarie Pastoral Company. The suburb was originally gazetted as Mindarie in 1979, with the two names transposed in 1985. The ruins of the Clarksons' first homestead are preserved in Riverlinks Park on Connolly Drive.

• A major town centre and transport hubClarkson's shops, station and transport facilities carry public amenity blocks and food tenancies used by people from across the northern corridor. Those toilets, grease traps and floor wastes take far heavier use than domestic fixtures and need servicing on a much shorter cycle.
• A high proportion of rental housingRapid growth has left Clarkson with a lot of tenanted property, so a leaking tap or a blocked drain usually has to be quoted in writing and approved by an agent or owner before the repair can proceed. We provide that rather than leaving a tenant relaying messages.
• Two kilometres from the coastClarkson sits back from the beach far enough that salt is not the factor it is in Mindarie or Quinns Rocks, so external tapware and hot water units here generally reach closer to their rated life. An early failure is usually age or sizing rather than corrosion.
• Land held as pastoral lease until the 1950sThe Mindarie Pastoral Company leases covering this area were sold in 1952 and the land stayed undeveloped for years afterward. Where old rural bores and stock water lines were left in the ground rather than removed, they turn up during excavation, so we locate before digging on the older lots.
