Plumber West Perth

West Perth WA 6005, City of Perth. About 2 km west of the Perth CBD.

West Perth sits immediately west of the Perth CBD within the City of Perth. Once an exclusive residential enclave, it is now predominantly office blocks and high-density apartments, with retail concentrated along Hay Street serving the office population. Parliament House, Dumas House and the original Perth Observatory stand in the parliamentary precinct, and the eastern edge holds Watertown and City West, which was the site of the Perth Metropolitan Markets from 1929 until 1989.

• Predominantly office buildings rather than housingMost West Perth buildings are commercial, and commercial plumbing fails differently to domestic. Amenities carry hundreds of uses a day, risers serve every floor at once, and one blockage takes a whole tenancy out of action. We service these buildings outside working hours so that does not happen during trading.
• Backflow prevention on commercial premisesBuildings with commercial kitchens, cooling systems or irrigation need testable backflow prevention devices, and those require annual testing by a licensed plumber. A great many West Perth buildings carry them. We test, tag and provide the report the water authority expects.
• Pockets of original housing among the towersOrd Street, Outram Street and the surrounding blocks still hold houses from the era when West Perth was a residential enclave. Those buildings carry pipework a century old, often now serving offices or apartments, and they need to be treated as heritage work rather than routine commercial work.
• The former Perth Metropolitan Markets siteThe markets occupied the City West area from 1929 to 1989 before moving to Canning Vale, and the site has been redeveloped since. Ground that carried heavy commercial use for sixty years holds a mixture of retained and replaced water and sewer connections, so we locate the drainage before excavating here rather than working from a plan that may not match.
