New Home & Renovation Plumbing

Earlier than most people think. For a new home, the plumbing starts before the slab is poured, with drainage laid to match the plans. For renovations, getting Anthony across the design before you lock it in can save real money, because moving fixtures a small distance on paper is cheap and moving drainage after the fact is not.

Send through your plans at quoting stage and you get an itemised price plus practical feedback: where the hot water should go, whether the gas supply suits the new appliances, and anything in the layout that will fight the plumbing later.

Yes. Being licensed for both plumbing and gas fitting means one contractor covers water, drainage, gas lines and appliance connections across the whole build: rough-in, fit-off, hot water, cooktop, heating and any LPG or natural gas work.

One licence holder across both trades keeps the schedule simple for your builder, keeps responsibility in one place if anything needs revisiting, and means the compliance certificates for the plumbing and the gas both come from the person who actually did the work.

Yes. Anthony regularly works alongside builders and owner-builders on new homes and renovations, from slab rough-in through to final fit-off and certification.

He turns up at the stage the build needs him, coordinates with the other trades on site, and flags anything in the plans that will cause plumbing grief before it gets built. For owner-builders that experience is worth a lot, because the plumbing and gas stages are sequenced properly and certified as the build progresses rather than patched up at the end.

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 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.

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.
