For strata and property managers
Strata is most of what we do
We know the paperwork as well as the plumbing. Reports for the committee, the insurer or NCAT, clear answers on common property, and access organised without the phone tag.
Who we look after
- Strata managers
- Building managers
- Property managers
- Owners corporations
- Real estate agents
Written reports
Findings, photos and recommendations you can send to the committee, the insurer or use in an NCAT matter.
Common property or lot owner?
We work out where the problem actually is and whose responsibility it is, so the right party pays.
Insurance claims
We deal with loss assessors and give insurers the detail they ask for.
Access sorted
We book in with tenants, owners and building managers so you're not stuck playing phone tag.
WHS compliant
Workers comp and unlimited common law cover. Certificates on request.
Leaks traced first
Water ingress and burst pipes tracked down before anyone opens up a wall or a ceiling.
How we work
We find the problem before we quote on it
No guessing and no padding the job out. Here's what you can expect.
Find the real cause
We trace leaks and blockages properly before quoting. Pipe locators, acoustic gear and drain cameras, not guesswork.
Quote on the fix
We only quote on what will fix it, not what might. You know the price before we start.
Do it properly
Licensed plumbers and gas fitters, work done to Australian Standards, and we clean up after ourselves.
Back it up
A lifetime guarantee on our workmanship, plus photos, footage and written reports when you need them.

What our customers say
These plumbers are great. They come on time, they know what they're doing and the prices are fair. We have used them for strata work and I have also used them myself. Highly recommended!
We have been using McElroy Plumbing for close to 20 years, their response to our calls has been immediate and the problem fixed promptly in a first class manner and the costs reasonable. We recently had a hot water failure and a new one installed within 24 hrs. We would recommend McElroy for any plumbing job.
All the plumbers that have been sent out to our place from McElroy Plumbing are professional, friendly, on time and get the job done. They explain what the issue is and provide solutions. Very proactive, great work and affordable. What more do you want in your plumbers?
Amazing service from the girls in the office to the plumbers. On time and very professional and polite. Very experienced at what they do, can't thank McElroy enough. Highly recommend!
Great old-school plumber. Came and swapped out my failing sump pump with no problems. Quick, courteous and efficient. Nice bloke too. Would recommend.
We've used McElroy Plumbing several times and are very happy with the service we have received. Staff have been helpful, on time, polite, professional and have done a great job. The prices have also been very competitive.

Local since 1930
You've probably seen our vans around
We've been working out of the same office on Avoca Street in Randwick since 1930. Our vans carry drain cameras, high pressure jetters, pipe locators and a good stock of parts, so most jobs get sorted on the first visit.
The McElroys have been plumbing in Sydney since the 1860s. Six generations later, it's still a family business and we still answer the phone ourselves.
