A strata plumbing problem is rarely just a plumbing problem. It's a resident who has been without hot water since Friday, a committee waiting on a quote before it can approve anything, a compliance certificate due, and three buildings that all need something this week. Fenech Plumbing & Gas is a licensed plumbing and gas fitting company working with strata managers and owners corporations across Sydney Metro, the Hills, the Hawkesbury and the Nepean. Around half our work is already strata and property management, so a common property job isn't a one off for us. It's business as usual.
You call one number and deal with one business. We liaise with the resident, the tenant or the on-site caretaker directly, so you're not stuck relaying technical detail between an owner, a resident and a trade who have never spoken to each other.
Every job comes back to you documented: what we found, where it sits, and what we did about it. We answer 24/7/365, because plumbing emergencies don't wait and neither do the calls you get about them.
This is the question that holds up more strata plumbing jobs than any actual repair. As a general rule the owners corporation is responsible for plumbing on common property, which covers shared pipes, risers, mains and stormwater, while the lot owner is responsible for the pipes and fixtures inside their own lot.
In practice plenty of jobs cross the line. A leak showing up in one unit's ceiling often starts in a shared riser or in the lot above. A blocked branch can sit inside a lot while the cause sits in the common line it feeds into. We don't guess at it and we don't decide it for you. We document exactly what we found and where it sits, with photos, so you have something concrete to allocate the cost against and something to show an owner who disagrees.
Compliance work is the part of the calendar that quietly becomes a problem when it slips. We handle it as scheduled work rather than as a scramble, and the certificate lands with you for your records.
The cheapest strata plumbing job is the one that doesn't happen at 11pm on a long weekend. Where we can see it coming, we tell you early and let you budget for it rather than react to it.
Tell us about your buildings and what you need covered, whether that's ongoing maintenance, compliance testing or after-hours cover. We'll come back to you with a clear quote and a single point of contact.
As a general rule the owners corporation is responsible for plumbing on common property (shared pipes, risers, mains and stormwater), while the lot owner is responsible for pipes and fixtures inside their own lot. Many repairs cross both, so we document exactly what we found and where it sits to help the strata manager allocate the cost correctly.

We appreciate Peter’s guidance through our home-buying process.. He helped us follow up on possible plumbing issues highlighted in our building …
Peter & his team have twice done work at our house. The most recent was blocked drainage. He was professional, genuine & turned up when he said he was going to. Would recommend him without a doubt.
Peter is reliable and trustworthy. No pipe work is too difficult for him. He went the extra mile to reconfigure the pipework so the filter is easily accessible, allowing us to replace it ourselves in the future. Great engineer and excellent plumber.
