What outdoor plumbing covers
Anything outside that carries gas, water or waste.
- Gas for BBQs, outdoor kitchens and patio heaters.
- Water and drainage for outdoor sinks, showers and bathrooms.
- Pool and spa connections, including automatic top-up.
- Garden taps and irrigation points, with backflow prevention.
- Rainwater tank tie-ins for garden, pool and toilets.
- Stormwater around new paving and decks.
Scope, plainly: we do the plumbing and the gas, not the appliances. We do not supply or install BBQs, bar fridges or patio heaters; we run and connect the gas and water they need.
For taps, toilets and everyday jobs, see our general plumbing page.
Gas for BBQs and outdoor kitchens
Yes, we can run natural gas to a BBQ or a built-in burner set. It is licensed gas fitting work, finished with a compliance certificate. A bayonet point suits a freestanding BBQ that plugs in and unplugs; a built-in burner set gets a fixed connection and an isolation valve.
Sizing decides whether it works. A six-burner hood pulls far more gas than a portable BBQ, so we size the pipe on the appliance rating and run length, then check your meter carries the load. Appliances are rated for natural gas or LPG, not both, so a BBQ set up for bottles needs a conversion kit or a different model.
Outdoor kitchens: sinks, taps and drainage
An outdoor sink needs hot and cold water, a trap, and a waste to the sewer, not a stormwater pit or the garden: scraps and grease belong in the sewer. That run usually decides where the kitchen can sit, so settle it before the slab is poured.
Frost is not the Sydney problem. Sun and salt air are, so we protect exposed pipework from UV and specify fittings that survive coastal air. Run the hot line at rough-in: chasing one through finished paving costs far more. Indoors, the same crew does your.
Outdoor showers and outdoor bathrooms
An outdoor shower drains to the sewer, the same as one inside, and needs tempered hot water where the rules require it. The common version is pool-side: hot and cold, a mixer, a floor waste or channel drain, and a waste to sewer.
Outdoor bathrooms and pool-house toilets are bigger: a sewer connection at the right fall, venting and hot water, through the same rough-in and fit-off stages as an indoors. Privacy screening and approvals vary by council, so check yours before you fix a position.
Pools, spas and irrigation
We do the water side: top-up lines, equipment connections and irrigation points with backflow prevention. Top-up is a dedicated line to a float valve, so the pool holds its level through summer. Around the plant we connect the pump, filter and heater.
Backflow prevention is not optional. Any connection to irrigation, pool water or a tank needs the right device for the hazard, so nothing siphons back into drinking water, and testable devices need annual testing. A tank can feed irrigation, garden taps and pool top-up, with a mains switchover for dry months.
Drainage, garden taps and stormwater
New paving and decking change where water goes, so sort drainage before the surface goes down. Extra hose taps are cheapest while the trenches are open.
Paved areas and decks need falls, grates or a channel drain, and a real connection into the existing stormwater, not a pipe that stops under the deck. On older properties stormwater rarely runs where the plan says, so we check first. Paving over an inspection opening becomes a problem the first time a line blocks.
Working with your landscaper and builder
We come in twice: rough-in before the slabs and paving go down, fit-off at the end. At rough-in we lay the gas, water and waste lines, pressure test them and photograph every run before it is covered.
Once there is concrete over a line, moving it means cutting it out, so being in the program early keeps this job cheap. At fit-off we connect the tapware, BBQ, shower and pool equipment, test the lot and issue the gas compliance certificate. Call us when the landscape plan exists, not when the pavers arrive.
Pricing
No call-out fee in business hours. After-hours, weekend and emergency call-outs carry a call-out fee, always quoted upfront before we dispatch a plumber.
Outdoor work is quoted after a site visit and itemised in writing, so the gas line, the sink waste and the pool connections are separate lines. Upfront fixed price before any work starts. You only pay for the work we do. Interest-free payment through Payright is available on larger jobs. Our Instant Quote tool gives a starting figure on standard plumbing work.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can you run natural gas to my BBQ?
Yes, in most cases. We run a line from your meter to a bayonet point or a fixed connection, size it for the burner set, test it and issue a compliance certificate.
Do I need a licensed gas fitter for an outdoor kitchen?
Yes. Gas work in NSW must be done by a licensed gas fitter, outdoors included, and it finishes with a compliance certificate. It is not work for a handyman or a landscaper.
Can an outdoor shower drain into the garden?
No. Shower water is waste water and goes to the sewer, with a trap and the correct fall, the same as a shower inside. Draining it to the garden or a stormwater pit fails inspection.
Can you connect my pool top-up and irrigation to the rainwater tank?
Yes. A tank can feed pool top-up, irrigation and garden taps, with a mains switchover for when it runs dry. Both need backflow prevention, so tank or pool water cannot siphon back into drinking water.
Do you supply the BBQ, the bar fridge or the patio heater?
No. We run and connect the gas and water; the appliances come from your supplier. Tell us the make, model and gas type before rough-in and we will put the connection where it belongs.
Can you connect a new cooktop, oven, heater or outdoor bayonet?
Yes, with the correct regulator, isolation valve and a compliance certificate, at a fixed price before we start.
Do you provide a gas compliance certificate?
Yes. Gas work in NSW must be done by a licensed gas fitter, and we issue the compliance certificate for the work we do. Keep it with your property records; agents, strata managers and insurers ask for it.
How does your fixed pricing work?
Upfront fixed price before any work starts. You only pay for the work we do. The online quote tool gives you a guide price in about a minute; the plumber confirms the exact price on site before touching anything.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No call-out fee in business hours. After-hours, weekend and emergency call-outs carry a call-out fee, always quoted upfront before we dispatch a plumber.
Do you attend emergencies after hours?
Yes, every night from 6pm to 7am. Call 1300 111 007 and the on-call plumber answers, tells you whether we can get to you tonight, and quotes the after-hours call-out fee before we dispatch. We aim to be on site within 60 minutes for emergencies in the Inner West, St George and the Shire.
Which areas do you cover?
From our Earlwood base we cover the Inner West, St George, the Sutherland Shire, the Eastern Suburbs and the North Shore, and greater Sydney for larger jobs. Tell us your suburb and we tell you the real travel time.
