Plumber Adelaide - Premier Residential and Commercial Service

Our plumber Adelaide projects such as commercial office fit-outs, cafes, schools, universities and extensions of aged care facilities require the knowledge of how to design and install plumbing systems which are compliant to the Australian Standards and National Construction Code. Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting offer an in-house consulting service which enables us to have projects designed and constructed under the one umbrella alleviating the middle man and ensuring a project then moves at faster pace.

The use of water for fire protection in commercial properties is very common in Adelaide. Fixtures such as Hydrants, Sprinklers, and Hose Reels are all common items you will see being used to help protect a building during the case of a fire. Mayfair Plumbing and Gasfitting are skilled in all areas of fire protection, including pump repairs and maintenance. We have been involved with some land mark projects across the state including locations where tanked water in the country is used as large mains water is not available. After a project has been handed over, we will then continue with routine maintenance on items such as backflow devices and hydrant testing to ensure these items all continue to work in the case of a fire ever happening.

With a highly skilled plumber team with years of experience, it also means we have intimate knowledge of the unique nature of Adelaide homes and buildings. For example, our roof plumbing experts understand the roof void areas and older roof plumbing systems in the city and suburbs.

Energy Efficient Projects

A moving trend in all areas of building is the need to become more energy efficient with all aspects of the building and plumbing is no stranger to this. Over the past 10 year particularly our plumbers have seen many things develop in the plumbing and gas industries. Below are a few items which are certainly becoming greener in the plumber industry today:

• Hot water services today are a minimum of 5-star energy rated with some manufacturers achieving 7-star ratings
• Toilet systems have come along way with the reduced amount of water being flushed each time with most cisterns using a maximum of 4.5 litres per full flush
• Tap ware will now have flow restrictors installed in the outlet limiting the volume of water that comes out of the spout ensuring a reduced amount of water being used in a building
• Rain water tanks and pumps for flushing toilet and watering of vegetation has become a mandatory requirement on all new buildings today and in commercial buildings you will see they have large storage facilities to enable use of rain water for all toilet and urinal flushing services.
• Solar boosting for hot water plant rooms has been a big improvement for all large-scale plant rooms. With the pre-heating of the water via solar panels on a buildings roof the overall gas consumption can be dramatically reduced a big positive for the environment and the end user who must pay the utility bill.

Above are 5 of the more common changes the plumbing industry has seen over the past 10 years and I’m certain that there will be more to come.

Introduction Of Plumbing Technology And Product Styles

Not only have we seen a growing awareness for greener building, but we have seen a big change in styles and finishes of plumbing products. Today there many different colours of tapware and basins being offered matt black has certainly hit the market hard over the past 2 years and HUGE free-standing bath tubs are another big-ticket item which many are opting for if room persists. Boiling and chilled water systems are another luxury item which we are seeing more of in kitchens today and even the added option of sparkling water direct from your kitchen faucet a very nice touch but at a hefty price tag!!

With the introduction of plastic water piping systems such as Rehau, Auspex, Shark Bite and Profit to name just a few it is vitally important to ensure each service vehicle has the right part of every repair. All our vehicles used in emergency plumbing call outs carry a variety of every brand on the market today to ensure that your plumbing emergency can be fixed right there and then. It has been the introduction of plastic products which enables owners to save costs on not only the product but also the installation times. It is very rare that you will see a buildings water supply installed copper or brass fitting as it is purely to labour intensive and very costly. Even with the introduction of press fittings by manufacturers such as Viega, B Press and Kembla the costs is still higher.
