Perth Plumbing FAQs
Last updated 17 September 2026.
1. What areas of Perth do you service?
Perth Plumbing Services (Freshwater Services) is based in Padbury and services Perth's northern suburbs, including Joondalup, Hillarys, Duncraig, Kingsley, Wanneroo, Currambine, Sorrento and surrounding areas. We also travel further across the Perth metro area for commercial plumbing and water filtration installations — Call telephone number (08) 9401 0144 to confirm coverage for your address.
2. Are your plumbers licensed in Western Australia?
Yes. We hold current WA Government licences for plumbing (PL6928), gas fitting (GF010223) and backflow prevention (BF5435). All plumbing and gas work in WA must legally be carried out by a licensed tradesperson, and we provide compliance documentation on request.
3. Do you handle both residential and commercial plumbing?
Yes. We service homes, offices, warehouses, gyms, schools and hospitality venues across Perth. Commercial work includes water cooler and boiling unit servicing, backflow testing, and plumbing fit-outs; residential work covers everything from leaking taps to full bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovations.
4. Do I need a plumber for a bathroom or kitchen renovation in Perth?
Yes. In WA, any work that alters water supply, drainage or gas lines must be done by a licensed plumber. We manage the plumbing side of bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovations — relocating pipework, installing new tapware, connecting appliances and ensuring everything complies with the Plumbing Code of Australia.
5. Is Perth tap water safe to drink, and why would I need a water filter installation?
Perth's scheme water meets Australian Drinking Water Guidelines, but it is chlorinated and naturally hard due to the region's groundwater and limestone geology. A water filter reduces chlorine taste and odour, sediment, and scale that damages appliances. We supply and install AquaCo undersink filters, reverse osmosis systems, whole-house filtration and water conditioners.
6. What's the difference between an undersink filter and a whole-house filter?
An undersink filter treats only the drinking water at one tap, usually the kitchen sink. A whole-house filtration system is installed at the mains inlet and treats every tap, shower and appliance in the home, reducing sediment, chlorine and scale throughout the property. Undersink is best for taste; whole-house is best for protecting plumbing and appliances from Perth's hard water.
7. How often should I replace water filter cartridges?
Most undersink and whole-house filter cartridges should be replaced every 6 to 12 months, and reverse osmosis membranes every 2 to 3 years, depending on water usage and quality. We stock AquaCo replacement filters and offer a scheduled servicing program so you never miss a change.
8. Do you service Zip and Billi boiling and chilled water systems?
Yes. We are Zip and Billi specialists in Perth, offering sales, installation, servicing and repairs of boiling, chilled and sparkling water systems for offices and homes. Regular servicing keeps filters fresh, maintains water quality and extends the life of the unit.
9. What is backflow testing and does my business need it?
Backflow testing checks the device that stops contaminated water flowing back into the mains supply. In Western Australia, properties with medium- or high-hazard backflow prevention devices must have them tested annually by a licensed backflow plumber and the results submitted to Water Corporation. We hold a backflow licence (BF5435) and carry out testing, reporting and replacements.
10. Can you install an office water cooler or drinking fountain?
Yes. We supply and install office water coolers, undersink chillers, boiling water dispensers and water fountains or bubblers for workplaces, gyms, workshops and schools across Perth. We'll recommend a system based on staff numbers, available plumbing and whether you need boiling, chilled or sparkling water.
11. How do I know which water system is right for my home?
It depends on whether your priority is drinking-water taste, scale protection for appliances, or both. Use the "Discover the Best System for Your Home" guide on our website, or phone us for a free recommendation — we'll consider your water usage, kitchen layout and budget before suggesting an undersink, reverse osmosis, conditioner or whole-house option.
