The suburb keeps the work varied. Cottages near the old tram route still draw water through galvanised steel, while the apartment blocks around the QUT campus run modern pipework packed with flexi hoses. Our plumbers handle both ends of that spread, from gas fitting in older housing through to bathroom renovations in the units.
Plumber, Drainer and Gasfitter Licences Explained
Queensland licenses the person and the business separately: the tradesperson holds an occupational licence proving the skills, and the business carrying the job needs a contractor licence showing it can run jobs properly. The QBCC grants both.
Plumber
a plumber's licence authorises the plumbing work on fixtures and pipework, outside anything that needs an endorsement of its own.
Drainer
a drainer's licence authorises below-ground drainage, again outside endorsed work.
Gasfitter
gas work needs a gas work licence, and only a licensed gasfitter may install, alter, service, test or certify a gas system.
Regulated jobs sort into three buckets: minor work, notifiable work and permit work, and a licensed plumber or drainer has to do every one. The QBCC says that keeps the house safe, the owner healthy and their rights intact.
Who Checks Plumbing Work and What You Receive
Oversight splits between two bodies: the QBCC licenses plumbers and keeps the notifiable work records, and the City of Brisbane assesses applications, grants permits and inspects. You can check a licence yourself through the QBCC's online registers, and searching by address shows whether a Form 4 has been lodged for your property.
The paperwork you receive depends on the job:
Form 4
after notifiable work, the owner or the person who engaged the plumber receives the Form 4 copy, and the QBCC can supply a replacement if it never arrives.
Gas certificate
when gas work finishes, the gasfitter hands you a gas compliance certificate straight away and forwards a copy to the gas network inside 5 days where the system runs off one.
An owner can also request a council check of notifiable work whenever they like, with the occupier agreeing, if the council makes contact within 1 year of the notice.

Questions Locals Ask About Us
Call (07) 3523 7121What is the difference between a plumber and a drainer?
A plumber's licence covers the pipes and fixtures above ground; a drainer's licence covers the below-ground side, such as sewers and stormwater lines. Many tradespeople hold both classes, and plenty of jobs need the pair together.
Does gas work in a Kelvin Grove home need a separate licence?
Yes, gas work sits with licensed gasfitters only. Fitting, altering or signing off a gas system is theirs alone. Ask to see the gas work licence before the job begins; you are entitled to.
Who inspects plumbing work in a Kelvin Grove home?
The City of Brisbane issues permits and inspects, while the QBCC handles licensing and the notifiable work register. Owners can ask for a council inspection of notifiable work at any stage, and the QBCC can provide a missing Form 4.
Does the team work on units and rentals as well as houses?
Yes, we work for owner-occupiers, landlords, tenants and unit owners alike. Approval differs: a rental needs the owner or property manager to sign off, and a unit may need body corporate approval.
