Plumber Stirling

Stirling WA 6021, City of Stirling. About 10 km north of the Perth CBD.

Stirling changed substantially through the 1960s and 1970s, and its postal district was approved in 1976. Most of the housing followed over the next eight years, and the Mitchell Freeway along the western and southern boundaries was completed in 1983 and 1984. Stirling station now puts the CBD about nine minutes away.

• A suburb built inside eight yearsBecause almost all of Stirling went up between 1976 and the mid 1980s, the houses share the same original fittings and reach the end of their life together. We see the same failures repeating street to street, which means we usually know what we are looking at before we arrive.
• The Mitchell Freeway on two boundariesThe freeway runs along the western and southern edges of the suburb, which makes Stirling fast for us to reach from the city or the north at any hour, including for an after-hours emergency.
• The station precinct and its densityStirling station puts the CBD nine minutes away, and the land around it carries denser housing than the rest of the suburb. Shared supply lines and common sewer connections mean a single burst pipe or blockage can affect several dwellings at once, so we isolate carefully rather than shutting off the whole building.
• Established gardens on 1970s blocksThe gardens planted with these houses are now mature, and their roots have had four decades to reach the joints in the original drainage. Root intrusion is a common call here, and we camera the line to confirm it before quoting a repair.
