Housing here runs from raised weatherboards cut up in the tram-era estates through to the unit blocks of recent years. At the last census, 59.9 per cent of homes were separate houses and 30 per cent were flats or apartments. Both kinds lean on the same bench-full of pipes.
Where Sink, Dishwasher and Washing Machine Water Goes
Kitchen and laundry plumbing covers the pipes feeding the sink, the dishwasher, the washing machine and the tub, plus the drains carrying the water away. Four parts do the work.
Supply
one hot and one cold line under the bench, each with its own shut-off, feeding the mixer.
Waste
the line running from the basket strainer, through the trap, into the drain.
Trap
a bent length of pipe holding a water seal that blocks sewer smells from coming back up.
Private sanitary drain
the below-ground line linking the building to the point where the sewer takes over.
That last part surprises people. A sink and a toilet can share the one below-ground drain, because each fixture keeps its own seal on its own branch. The two wastes meet out in the yard, not under the bench.
The laundry runs the same system at a smaller scale: a tub or trough, the wall taps feeding the machine, and the drain taking the water out. Unrenovated places on the Glen Kedron estate streets can still hold galvanised steel in the supply, and you notice it as weak flow at the laundry taps long before anything drips.
Shutting Off One Fixture, Not the House
An isolation valve closes the water to a single fixture, so one leaking hose never dries out the whole property. Each appliance in these rooms has its own point of shut-off.
Under the sink
the small valves on the hot and cold lines feeding the mixer.
Dishwasher
its own isolation valve or wall tap on the supply line.
Washing machine
the wall taps behind or beside the machine, closed whenever a hose gets changed.
Nothing closer working
the main shut-off at the meter, turned clockwise, stops everything.
One caution before you use that last one. Check first that nothing in the house depends on the supply staying on, the hot water system in particular. Our guide on turning off your water walks through the whole sequence.
Moving a Sink or Appliance
Notifiable work is plumbing done in a building that already stands: no council permit applies, but the job gets recorded with the QBCC on a Form 4 after the licensed plumber wraps up. Kitchen renovations sit in that category, and so does shifting a fixture.
Say you're reworking a kitchen in a character-overlay weatherboard near Kedron State High School on Park Road. Moving the sink to the other wall is notifiable work, handled by a licensed plumber with no permit and no inspection. The plumber files the Form 4 with the QBCC no later than 10 business days after the work ends.
Your copy of that form belongs to you as the owner, and the QBCC will send one if a form should have reached you and never did. Unit owners have an extra check first, though. Some work in an apartment needs council approval, and any new fixture added where several lots share one drain is permit work every time.
Tap Washers, Filter Cartridges and the Licence Line
The QBCC's unregulated list is short, and only two items from these rooms appear on it. Anyone with the right knowledge and skill may take them on, and the result still has to meet the standards.
The jumper valve or washer inside a tap
a small, defined job the QBCC treats as unregulated.
The cartridge inside a domestic water filter
the same rule covers swapping it under a bench.
Everything past that list is licensed territory. Replacing a sink, moving a mixer, putting in a new waste or reworking the laundry taps are all regulated work. Repairing or replacing a fixture counts as minor work for a QBCC licensee, with no permit and no paperwork, but it stays their job, not yours.
The Kitchen and Laundry Jobs We Take
Two pages sit under this one, and they carry the depth for their own jobs.
Kitchen sink installation
new sinks, mixer swaps, waste and trap replacements, and the supply checks that come with a bench rework.
Dishwasher installation
connection points, drain arrangements and the shut-offs that make a swap a ten-minute job rather than a wet floor.
A slow-draining sink is a different problem with its own page on blocked drains, and a cold kitchen mixer usually points to the system covered on our hot water plumbing page.

Kitchen and Laundry Plumbing Questions
Call (07) 3523 6484What does a kitchen plumber in Kedron actually do?
A kitchen plumber looks after the sink, the mixer, the waste and the trap, along with the dishwasher connection and the water filter hook-up. Laundry tubs and machine taps sit on the same run. Our kitchen sink installation and dishwasher installation pages set out each job in full.
Which taps count towards a rental's water efficiency limit?
Only the indoor cold taps above a kitchen sink or a laundry trough, mixers included, come under the 9 litres per minute limit. Taps feeding a washing machine or dishwasher sit outside it. A landlord charging a tenant for water needs the compliant taps in place first.
Who looks after kitchen plumbing in my Kedron unit?
A pipe serving one lot only, staying inside that lot and running through no shared wall or floor, is yours to maintain as the owner. Anything serving several lots belongs to the body corporate. Report a shared-line fault to the committee.
What affects the cost of kitchen plumbing work?
Four things set the price: whether fixtures stay put or move, whether new water or waste points are needed, how reachable the pipework is, and the fittings on your list. You get the full figure as a fixed quote before any work starts, once the plumber has seen the job.
Do you charge a call-out fee for kitchen jobs?
No, every job comes with $0 call-out fees, and there's no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Does kitchen and laundry plumbing work come with a warranty?
Yes, our labour carries a lifetime labour warranty, and the Fix-It-or-It's-Free guarantee backs it (T&Cs apply).
