When water is moving or gas is in the air, these are the pages to read first:
Woody Point's fibro and brick-veneer homes often hide clay pipe drainage and ageing hot water systems. Plumber Woody Point clears blocked drains, fixes burst pipes, fits gas and handles general plumbing across Woody Point, Margate and Clontarf.

Plumber Woody Point is a locally owned Queensland plumbing and gasfitting business working the Redcliffe peninsula's south-eastern headland. Every job, from a leaking tap to a burst flexi hose, is done under QBCC No: 15024607.
We look after cottages on the ridge, unit blocks along the esplanade and everything between. Before any work starts you get the full price in writing, and you pay by card or EFTPOS once it is done.

The work splits four ways, from right-now emergencies to planned upgrades. Find your problem below.

When water is moving or gas is in the air, these are the pages to read first:

The everyday repairs and installs that keep taps, toilets and appliances working:

Old earthenware drains and bay stormwater both belong in this group:

Tanks on the peninsula work hard against salt air, and these pages cover both outcomes:
$0 call-out fees, available 24/7, and same-day where we can.

The jetty at the point went in back in 1888, and the streets filled out through the mid-century decades, so the housing runs from 1940s cottages to 1960s-1980s unit blocks.
Figures from the most recent census show 54.4 per cent of local homes were detached houses, 33.9 per cent were units or flats, the population was 4548 and the median age 53. That mix shapes the work:
may still hold original galvanised supply lines that fur up and choke flow, plus earthenware house drains with opened joints that invite roots.
stack more bathrooms per square metre, so one burst flexi hose upstairs can pour water through the flats below.
, a big share of the suburb, treat losing hot water in cool weather as an urgent call, not a wait-until-Monday one.
We open walls in this suburb most weeks, so a street and an era usually tell us what is in them before the first cut.

Something going wrong right now? Do this first:

Each service page below opens its own short guide. Here is what sits behind each one.
covers the jobs that cannot wait: water pouring through a ceiling, a toilet backing up into the bathroom, the tank gone cold overnight, a gas smell you cannot explain. Start with the triage band above, then read the page matching your symptom.
handles what wears out week to week: dripping taps, running cisterns, shower work, kitchen sinks and dishwashers, plus gas appliance installs and repairs. A nuisance rather than a flood lives here.
is where plenty of Woody Point work ends up. These streets sit over ageing clay and asbestos cement drains that crack, open at the joints and trap roots, while the slopes toward the foreshore carry water quickly until a blockage stops it.
splits into two questions: can this tank be fixed, or is it at end of life? The repair page covers valves, thermostats and element faults; the replacement page covers new systems where the old one has rusted through.

Three local factors shape most of the jobs we take on this headland.
Unitywater's sewer mains in this area are mostly vitrified clay plus asbestos cement, running beneath streets such as Georgina Street, Kate Street and Oxley Avenue. Houses joined to those old mains often sit on earthenware branch lines with joints that have come apart, and Council's heritage register notes big cottonwood, fig and palm trees whose roots go looking for exactly those gaps.
Sea breezes off Bramble Bay and Moreton Bay carry salt into most streets here, and it eats brass fittings, steel straps and unprotected copper. Exposed balcony plumbing in the unit blocks corrodes years before the same fitting would inland.
Streets fall from the ridge toward the bay, so stormwater and sewer lines carry steep gradients with little slack in them. Council's flood overlays place streets such as Hawthorne Street and Woodcliffe Crescent within their hazard classes, while the Oxley Avenue ridge falls mostly outside them. Where the gradient flattens near the water, solids drop out and block.
So a "simple" blocked drain here is rarely simple. It is also why we quote before we dig: the fix depends on what is actually in the ground.

No dollar figures here, because no two headland jobs price the same. What stays fixed is the structure:
Once you have approved it, that figure does not move, no matter what we find in the wall.
Digging up an earthenware drain under a garden bed costs a different figure to clearing one from a hatch. Old galvanised pipe, salt-corroded fittings and unit-block access all play their part.
If a job turns out bigger than it looked, we stop, explain, and re-quote before continuing.
The figure for your job comes from a call, not a price list. Ring us, describe what is happening, and we will put it on paper.
The headland is our regular run, but we work well past it. We cover:
