When a café loses hot water or a shop's only toilet blocks, the invoice is the smaller number. We schedule planned work around trading and we treat breakdowns as the trading interruptions they are.

Commercial plumbing covers plumbing, drainage and gas work in business premises: shops, offices, warehouses, cafés, restaurants and industrial units. It differs from domestic work mainly in scheduling and consequence. Work that interrupts trading has to be planned around opening hours or done after hours, food premises have grease and hygiene requirements that residential kitchens do not, and a breakdown costs the business revenue on top of the repair. B&M Advanced Plumbing does commercial maintenance, breakdowns and fit-out plumbing across The Hills, the North Shore and the Northern Beaches.
The work splits into breakdowns, planned maintenance and fit-outs.
If you run a food business, the single most valuable thing on this page is the idea of putting your grease lines on a jetting schedule. Almost every emergency grease blockage we clear was predictable.
Opening hours, busy periods, what can and cannot be interrupted, and who on site can authorise work. A café at 7am and an office at 7am are different problems.
We tell you what has to be off, for how long, and when we would recommend doing it. For a lot of commercial jobs the schedule matters more than the price.
Early mornings, evenings, weekends or a shutdown period. It costs more per hour and it usually costs far less overall than closing during trade.
When something fails during trade, the first goal is to get you operating again, even if the permanent repair happens later at a better time.
Customers, staff and stock are around. Barriers, drop sheets, no tools left where the public can reach them, and everything cleaned up before we go.
Invoices that make sense to a landlord or a head office, gas compliance certificates, and reports where a compliance requirement or an insurance claim needs them.
Commercial work is priced on the job and on when it has to happen. The main factors:
For sites we maintain regularly we will give you a schedule and a realistic annual figure so it can be budgeted. Unpredictable plumbing costs are a nuisance for a business, and most of that unpredictability is avoidable.
For a business, the plumbing bill is rarely the expensive part. The expensive part is the trade you did not do while the toilet was out of action, the food you threw away when the kitchen closed, or the stock that was under the box gutter when it backed up.
Almost every planned commercial job has a right time and a wrong time. The wrong time is during trade. The right time is early, late, on a quiet day, or during a shutdown. Out-of-hours labour costs more per hour, and against a lost day of trading it is nearly always the cheaper decision. We will put both options in front of you rather than assuming you want the lowest hourly rate.
In residential drainage, most recurring blockages are roots. In commercial food premises, it is fats, oils and grease. It coats the inside of the drainage line, hardens, narrows the pipe and eventually stops it. No amount of care in the kitchen eliminates it, because it is a by-product of cooking.
Which means it is predictable, and predictable problems should be scheduled rather than suffered. High pressure jetting at an interval matched to how hard the line works keeps the pipe near its full diameter. Every emergency grease blockage we have cleared at 9pm on a Friday was, in hindsight, a maintenance interval that was never set.
Plumbing in a fit-out is not difficult. Getting it to happen in the right order is. Rough-in has to go in before walls and floors are closed up, and fit-off has to happen after the finishes. A fit-out where the plumber is called after the tiler has finished is a fit-out where somebody is about to lose money. The fix is boring: give the plumber the programme early and realistic notice of both visits.
Commercial sites through Norwest, Bella Vista, Castle Hill and the Hills business parks, along the North Shore including Hornsby, Gordon, Lane Cove and the Epping and Eastwood centres, and across the Northern Beaches, where Brookvale is the main industrial and commercial precinct alongside the retail strips at Manly, Dee Why, Mona Vale and Avalon.
