Anthony Martin Plumbing & Gas Fitting

Anthony Martin Plumbing is based in Lake Cathie and works across the whole Mid North Coast, including Bonny Hills, Laurieton, North Haven, Dunbogan, Camden Head, West Haven, Kendall, Kew and Lakewood, plus the southern side of Port Macquarie.

Being local matters for more than convenience. Response times are shorter, travel costs stay out of your bill, and Anthony knows the housing stock in the area, from older fibro cottages on galvanised pipe through to new builds in the estates. If you are just outside these areas, call anyway. If the job suits, Anthony will travel for it.

Yes. Anthony holds NSW contractor licence 283413C covering both plumbing and gas fitting, and carries full public liability insurance.

That combination matters. Plenty of handymen will quote on jobs that legally require a licensed plumber, and if something goes wrong the insurance consequences land on the homeowner. Every job Anthony Martin Plumbing does is compliant, insured and, where the work requires it, backed by a compliance certificate you keep for your records and your insurer.

Yes. Emergency work is a core part of the business, and urgent jobs get priority across the Mid North Coast. Burst pipes, gas leaks, blocked sewers and failed hot water are the common ones.

When you call, describe what is happening and Anthony will tell you what to shut off straight away. Water off at the meter or gas off at the bottle can save you thousands in damage before he arrives. Being licensed for both plumbing and gas means one call covers either kind of emergency.

You get a clear quote before work starts, not a surprise afterwards. For straightforward jobs Anthony can usually quote from a phone call and a photo or two. Bigger jobs like renovations, septic systems or tank installations get a site visit and an itemised written quote.

If something unexpected turns up once the work is open, you hear about it and approve the change before it happens. Where a repair is only going to buy you time, Anthony will tell you that up front, with rough costs for the longer-term fix, so you can make the call with real numbers in front of you.

Yes. Anthony is a licensed gas fitter as well as a plumber, covering both natural gas and LPG. That includes new appliance installations, cooktops, heaters and hot water, gas line runs, leak detection and repairs, pressure testing and compliance certificates.

Having one licence holder for both trades means jobs that involve water and gas, like a kitchen renovation or a hot water changeover, are done in one visit by one person instead of juggling two trades.

Usually within the day for common electric and gas storage systems, subject to supplier stock. Anthony carries the fittings for standard changeovers and sources tanks from local suppliers, so a like-for-like replacement is often running again the same day you call.

If your system is repairable, you will be told that too. Sometimes a valve or element fixes it for a fraction of the cost of a new unit. Where replacement is the honest answer, the old unit is disconnected and taken away as part of the job.
