Kensington is home to the main UNSW campus and one of the highest concentrations of student and share-house living in the Eastern Suburbs. Sterling Gasfitting & Plumbing has worked across this mix of unit blocks, share houses and family homes for close to two decades, and we understand the heavier day-to-day use and higher rental turnover that comes with a university suburb.

Plumbing in Kensington

Kensington’s housing is dominated by older brick unit blocks and share houses close to Anzac Parade and the UNSW campus, alongside family homes on the quieter surrounding streets. We handle general plumbing repairs, blocked drains, and bathroom and kitchen plumbing, and we’re used to working around busy share-house schedules and tight rental turnaround times. We also carry out end-of-lease plumbing checks for landlords and agents who need issues resolved quickly before a new tenant moves in.

Hot Water Systems & Repairs

High-occupancy share houses and student rentals place extra demand on hot water systems, so reliable, correctly-sized units matter here more than most suburbs. We install, service and repair gas, electric and heat pump hot water systems, and can advise landlords on the most cost-effective way to upgrade ageing units.

Gas Fitting & Compliance

Our licensed gas fitters handle installations, servicing and compliance certificates throughout Kensington, including the cafes and shops along Anzac Parade. With high rental turnover near the university, gas compliance certificates for new tenancies are a regular part of our work in this suburb.

Leak Detection

Share houses and rental unit blocks can mask leaks for longer than owner-occupied homes, so early detection matters for both water bills and building condition. Our non-invasive leak detection equipment locates hidden leaks in walls, slabs and gardens without unnecessary demolition.

Heat Pump Installation

Landlords and owners in Kensington are increasingly switching to heat pump hot water systems for the running-cost savings, particularly across multi-unit properties. We handle supply, installation and any applicable rebate paperwork.
