What we do
Brigs Plumbing works across general plumbing, drainage, pipe relining and roof plumbing. If a job needs a specialist we will tell you, rather than take it on and learn on your house.
Leaking taps and toilets, burst and leaking pipes, water services, laundry and kitchen fit-offs, and the small jobs nobody else will come out for.
Plumbing repairsJetting, drain machines and CCTV camera inspection, so you find out what actually caused the blockage instead of clearing it again in six months.
Drainage & blockagesDamaged sewer and stormwater pipes repaired from the inside with a cured-in-place liner — no trench across the driveway, no re-turfing the yard.
Pipe reliningRoof leaks traced and repaired, flashings, gutters, downpipes and full gutter replacement in steel to suit the house.
Roofing & guttersRepairs and replacements for electric, gas and heat-pump systems, including tempering valves and relief-valve faults.
Hot water systemsRusted or undersized gutters replaced, with the fall reset so water reaches the downpipe instead of the eaves.
Gutters & downpipesThe plumbing side of a bathroom or laundry renovation — rough-in, waterproofing coordination and fit-off.
Bathroom plumbingBurst pipes, sewage overflows and no water. The phone is answered around the clock — call rather than fill in a form.
Emergency callouts
Real jobs

Brigs Plumbing is Niles Brigden — a sole trader, not a call centre with a roster of subcontractors. The person who quotes your job is the person who turns up to do it.
How a job runs
Describe what is happening. For most jobs that is enough to say what it is likely to be and what it will take to find out for certain.
Diagnosis first — a camera down the drain, a pressure test, a look in the roof cavity. You get a price before anything is pulled apart.
Fixed at the quoted price, cleaned up afterwards, and you are told what caused it so it does not happen again next wet season.
Where we work

Niles and team recently did all the plumbing work for our bathroom renovation and we couldn’t be happier with the quality and service. Fast, efficient and great communication, we will be having him and the team back for our next bathroom plus gutters!
Five stars!!! We had Niles complete our full home gutter replacement and we couldn’t have asked for a better result! Nile’s communication and reliability is second to none, we will definitely be acquiring his skills for future works!
Niles took a job on my roof that no one else wanted to touch. He came out quickly, was thorough and efficient and took photos of the repair. I am happy to consider Brigs plumbing my go to plumber now!
Common questions
It depends on the job and how far out you are, so there is no single number worth quoting here. What is fixed is the process: you are told the price before the work starts, and if the diagnosis changes what is needed you are told before anything else happens.
The Google profile is set to 24 hours and the phone is answered around the clock. Whether someone can be on site immediately depends on where you are and what is already booked — you will get a straight answer rather than a maybe.

Sometimes. A drain that blocks repeatedly usually has a cause — roots through a joint, a collapsed section, a belly holding water. A camera inspection shows which, and only some of those are worth relining. If clearing it is the sensible answer you will be told that.
Brisbane City and the four surrounding councils — Redland, Logan, Moreton Bay and Ipswich. The suburbs nearest Thorneside are the daily run; the outer parts of that area are worth a phone call first so the timing can be sorted honestly.
Call and describe the problem. If it can be sorted over the phone, it will be.
