About Our Paddington Plumbers
Most weeks, our Paddington plumbers are under pre-1940 weatherboard cottages on the slopes below Government House, or tracing pipes through the terraces above the Rosalie flats. Local Paddington Plumbing holds licence QBCC No: 15024607, and every job is done by a licensed plumber.

Here is what that licence allows, how a visit runs, and which documents end up in your hands. Everything described across the Paddington service pages flows through the same rules.
What a Queensland Plumbing Licence Covers
Queensland splits plumbing licensing in two: the individual doing the work must hold an occupational licence, and the business accepting the job must hold a contractor licence. Both come from the QBCC. The first shows the tradesperson's skills; the second shows the business has the financial capacity and training to run jobs properly.
Three classes matter to a homeowner:
- A plumber's ticket covers the water side: supply pipes, fixtures and fittings, apart from jobs that need an endorsement of their own.
- A drainer's ticket covers the underground side: the sanitary drains carrying waste out to the sewer.
- Gas work sits on its own licence. Queensland permits only a licensed gasfitter to fit, alter, repair, service, test or certify gas systems and their pipework.
Regulated work falls into three buckets: work needing a council permit, notifiable work and minor work, and licensed tradespeople handle every category. The QBCC says that rule protects your house, your health and your rights. Before gas work starts, you are entitled to sight the gas work licence.
How a Plumbing Job Runs From Call to Finish
- 1
You describe the fault
Ring (07) 3523 6484 or use the form. Saying whether the problem sits at one tap or every outlet helps the right gear come on the first trip.
- 2
We diagnose on site
We trace the fault before touching a tool. In a cottage off the Fernberg Road side, that often means checking where an old galvanised length meets newer copper, because those mixed-metal joins corrode.
- 3
Quote, then the work
You get a fixed quote before any work starts, and nothing begins until you approve the figure.
- 4
Test and hand over
We test the finished work, then give you whatever documents the job produced, from drainage forms to gas certificates.

Who Checks Plumbing Work and What You Receive
Checking is split two ways: the QBCC licenses tradespeople and keeps the notifiable work register, while the local council handles permits and inspections for new work. The QBCC also regulates licensees and investigates unlicensed work.
Your paperwork depends on the job type:
- Notifiable work earns you a Form 4 recording what was done, and the QBCC will send you a replacement if it never turns up.
- After new or altered gas work, the gasfitter gives you the compliance certificate straight away, and the network operator gets its copy inside 5 days.
The QBCC's online registers show any plumber's licence status and any Form 4 lodged for your address. You can also have the council inspect notifiable work at any point.

Questions People Ask Before Booking
Call (07) 3523 6484What is the difference between a plumber and a drainer?
A plumber looks after supply pipes and fixtures above ground, while a drainer looks after the below-ground drains running to the sewer. Each trade holds the licence for its own side.
Is every job in Paddington done by a licensed plumber?
Yes, every job is done by a licensed plumber. We are licensed and insured, and the licence number is QBCC No: 15024607.
What does QBCC licensed mean for my plumbing job?
QBCC licensed means the Queensland Building and Construction Commission has issued our licences. One licence covers the person doing the work; the other covers the business running the job.
