Should You Use a Residential or Commercial Plumber?
Not every plumber is right for every job. Here's how to pick the right trade for your Brisbane property.
Residential Plumbers
Focus on homes, townhouses and small strata. Familiar with domestic fixtures, standard hot water systems, gas cooktops, drain unblocking, and renovation rough-ins.
Commercial Plumbers
Larger crews, dealing with fire services, backflow programs, grease traps, commercial kitchens and rooftop plant. Higher hourly rates.
Strata & Body Corporate
Sits in between. Needs someone who understands common vs lot boundary, insurance reporting and after-hours coordination. VM Plumbing & Gas covers this space specifically.
Which Do You Need?
Home + townhouse + duplex + small strata: residential. Restaurants, offices, high-rise, industrial: commercial. If unsure, ring us — we'll tell you honestly.
