Emergency Plumbing & Gas issues? Call or text 0404 823 184 for 24/7 service
If you live or work in Hamilton, there’s a good chance your plumbing is either older than you’d like or newer than your warranty paperwork suggests, and both come with their own headaches. Between the character Queenslanders up on Racecourse Road and the newer apartment developments down near Portside Wharf and Hamilton Northshore, my team and I have pretty much seen it all in this suburb. We’re a dual-licensed plumbing and gas fitting business, which means whatever’s gone wrong, whether it’s a tap, a toilet, a gas appliance or a hot water system, we can sort it in one visit instead of you having to find two different tradespeople.

Hamilton’s housing mix means we get called out for a bit of everything. In the older character homes closer to the river and up around Kingsford Smith Drive, we’re regularly dealing with ageing copper and galvanised pipework, slow leaks under raised floors, and hot water systems that are well past their best. Those homes often need a careful hand, because older plumbing doesn’t always behave the way a newer system does, and rushing a repair can turn a small job into a bigger one.
Down in the newer builds and apartment blocks near the river, the work looks different again. We handle gas cooktop and continuous flow hot water installations, backflow prevention testing for strata and body corporate buildings, and the kind of day-to-day repairs that come with higher-density living, like blocked drains from shared stacks or tapware that’s had a lot of use. Because we hold both a plumbing licence and a gas licence, body corporates and property managers in Hamilton deal with one team for both trades instead of juggling two contractors and two invoices.
We also cover blocked drains and toilets, leak detection, CCTV drain inspections, hydro jetting, and full bathroom and kitchen plumbing for renovations, which come up often in a suburb where plenty of older homes are being renovated or extended.
We’re a family-owned Brisbane business, not a call centre with a fleet of vans and a different face every visit. When you call Alexander Gas & Plumbing Co, you’re talking to someone who actually knows the Hamilton area, not reading off a script. Our team is fully qualified and certified, I’m a registered Master Plumber with the Master Plumbers Association of Queensland, and we hold current plumbing, gas fitting and QBCC licences. We turn up when we say we will, we quote honestly before we start, and we clean up properly afterwards, which shouldn’t be a selling point but, after what some customers tell us about other companies, apparently it still is.
We offer 24/7 emergency plumbing and gas fitting across Hamilton and the surrounding Brisbane suburbs, including Ascot, Albion, Clayfield and Newstead, so if a hot water system fails on a Sunday night or a gas smell has you worried, you can actually get someone out.
