Services
Emergency Plumbing
Our certified plumbers provide urgent plumbing solutions across Sydney 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We handle burst pipes, gas leaks, sewer overflows, and other critical issues with rapid response times and immediate on-site assistance. Our emergency service includes initial phone guidance to mitigate damage before arrival, ensuring minimal disruption to residential and commercial properties.
Pipe Relining
We offer advanced no-dig pipe relining technology for damaged drains and sewer lines. Using CCTV inspections and epoxy resin lining, we restore pipes without excavation, saving time and costs. This method creates a durable, jointless pipe within existing infrastructure, ideal for repairing tree root intrusion, cracks, and corrosion in residential and commercial settings.
Gas Leak Detection
Our licensed gasfitters specialise in detecting and repairing gas leaks using precision equipment. We service residential and commercial properties, ensuring safe installation, maintenance, and emergency repairs for natural gas and LPG systems. All work complies with Australian safety standards, including gas meter isolation and appliance connection checks.
Hot Water Systems
We install, repair, and maintain electric, gas, and solar hot water systems across Sydney. Our technicians diagnose heating issues, replace faulty components, and recommend energy-efficient solutions. We provide same-day service for no-hot-water emergencies and offer maintenance plans to extend system longevity in residential and commercial properties.
CCTV Pipe Inspections
Our high-resolution CCTV cameras inspect pipes up to 150 meters, identifying blockages, cracks, and root intrusion without excavation. This technology enables precise diagnosis of drain and sewer issues, allowing targeted repairs. We provide detailed reports with recommended solutions, supporting both residential and commercial clients in maintaining plumbing integrity.

The GF James Plumbing Services team done a good job for us, recently they carried out repairs to the roof of our high end Pyrmont complex and replaced all screws on the roof sheeting and flashings replacing approximately 20000 screws in total. Every 10m, roof sheet was completely loosened to allow inspection of roof space and any sheets that were slightly raised were pinned with pop rivet or under sealed with UV resistant sealant to prevent any future water penetration.

I had a problem with our hot water heater (the gas turned off) and was quoted over 3k to replace by another local company. I panicked and called GF James for a 2nd opinion and had a very nice man come out immediately to help. We trouble shooted the problem and were able to restart the heater within 30 minutes. Appreciate the time, patience and skill from GF James to investigate properly rather than simply tell us to replace it. Saved us thousands in the end. Highly recommend!
