These two rooms earn their plumbing. At the last census, 81.9 per cent of Fitzgibbon's dwellings were separate houses averaging 2.5 people each, so the sink, the machine and the dishwasher rarely get a quiet day. We take jobs across the suburb, from homes near the Roghan Road shopping strip to houses along Telegraph Road.
What Kitchen and Laundry Plumbing Covers
The plumbing in these two rooms is the supply, the waste, the traps and the connections for the sink, the laundry tub, the dishwasher and the washing machine. A trap is the bent pipe holding a water seal, and that seal blocks sewer gas from reaching the room.
On the supply side, hot and cold pipes feed each tap, with a valve under the bench for the sink. On the waste side, water drops from the basket waste, passes the trap and joins the waste pipe. From there, every fixture in the house drains into the in-ground private sanitary drain, which runs to the sewer connection.
That drain is shared. Because each fixture keeps its own trap, your sink and your toilet can both empty into the one private drain without either one affecting the other. The laundry tub sits on the same arrangement: its own trap, its own waste, one shared drain.
Tap Washers, Filter Cartridges and the Licence Line
Only two small jobs on the QBCC's unregulated list escape licensing: swapping a washer or jumper valve within a tap, and changing a domestic water filter cartridge. Even those jobs must still meet the plumbing standards.
Everything else in these rooms is work for a licensed plumber. Fixing or swapping a fixture or fitting counts as minor work, which a QBCC licensee does with no permit, no Form 4 needed. Installing a new sink or relocating an existing one goes further up the ladder, as the next section explains.
The short version: a dripping washer is yours to change if you want it. The moment a pipe, a fixture or a connection moves, it's licensed work.
Valves That Protect Each Appliance
An isolation valve shuts off one fixture without turning off the whole house, and each appliance in these rooms has a valve somewhere close by. Knowing where each one sits turns a split hose into a quick shut-off instead of a flooded floor.
Dishwasher
its own isolation valve or wall tap, letting you shut that machine off without disturbing the sink.
Washing machine
the taps behind it, which close both feeds when a hose needs changing.
Kitchen tap
valves under the bench or inside the cupboard, within arm's reach of the trap.
Nothing working
the main stop tap out at the water meter, which shuts the whole property and closes by turning clockwise. Check first that nothing, like the hot water system, needs the water left on.
Fitzgibbon's housing mostly went up from the 2000s onward, so the braided hoses behind its laundry taps are reaching the years where splits begin. A hose that lets go upstairs can soak the ceiling under it before anyone notices, so a valve within reach is worth more than any washer.
Notifiable Work and the Form 4
Notifiable work covers plumbing in an existing building: no council permit is needed, and the licensed plumber reports the job to the QBCC via Form 4 after finishing. Kitchen renovations fall into this category too.
Adding a fixture such as a sink, or moving one, in an existing building is notifiable work. The plumber reports it to the QBCC via Form 4 within 10 business days of finishing, and the owner receives a copy. If one should have arrived and didn't, the QBCC can provide it on request.
Two cases climb above notifiable into permit work. An apartment renovation can require council approval, and adding a fixture where a drain serves several lots always does. Check with us before the job starts and we'll confirm which category yours falls into.
Kitchen and Laundry Jobs With Their Own Pages
Two rooms, several jobs with their own dedicated pages:
Sinks
a new kitchen sink, including the waste, the trap and the connections underneath it.
Dishwashers
a dishwasher installation covers the supply, the waste and the valve that isolates it.
Hoses
the flexi hoses behind these appliances fail more than any other fitting, and replacing them is a small job that prevents a big one.
A sink that will not drain is a different job again, and our blocked drains page covers it.

Kitchen and Laundry Questions Fitzgibbon Homes Ask
Call (07) 3523 6417Can my kitchen sink and toilet share the same drain?
Yes, they can. Both fixtures drain through separate traps into the private sanitary drain, which carries the building's waste out to the sewer connection, so neither one depends on the other.
What does laundry plumbing include?
Laundry plumbing covers the trough, the wall taps filling the machine, and the waste line taking the water away. The tub connects to the same pipework.
Do I need a licensed plumber to move my kitchen sink?
Yes, you do. Relocating a fixture in an existing house is notifiable work: a licensed plumber carries it out and reports it to the QBCC via Form 4 within 10 business days, and you receive a copy.
Does a kitchen renovation in Fitzgibbon need a council permit?
No, it does not. Renovating a kitchen in an existing house counts as notifiable work, which needs no council permit. An apartment or a property whose drain serves several lots can require one, so check with us first.
Is the call-out free for kitchen plumbing work in Fitzgibbon?
Yes, it is. Expect $0 call-out fees in Fitzgibbon, plus no extra charge for nights, weekends or public holidays.
Does kitchen and laundry plumbing work come with a warranty?
Yes, it does. Our lifetime labour warranty covers the work, and our Fix-It-or-It's-Free guarantee (T&Cs apply) sits behind it.
