Licensed local plumbers, on the Lower North Shore.
Blocked drains, hot water, leaks, gas and emergency repairs for Henley homes, businesses and strata — with a fixed price agreed before the work starts.
No callout fee on eligible jobs · Free quotes
A small residential pocket on the Parramatta River frontage of the peninsula.
75.6% separate houses and 20.5% semis or townhouses, with almost no apartment stock (2.6%), across 156 dwellings.
Mostly private house drainage, with a fifth of the suburb on shared walls — and at 156 dwellings there is very little of anything else.
These jobs come up here more than they come up elsewhere. They follow from what Henley is built from, when it was built, and what it sits on.
20.5% semis and townhouses with effectively no apartment stock — so the shared-line question is between two private owners, with no building manager to arbitrate.
One of the smallest suburbs on this site. Blocks sit close to the Parramatta River, and the lower ones work near the water table.
Mature planting on the older blocks means roots into private lines, and reinstatement that costs more than the repair.
Most repeat blockages are a pipe problem, not a blockage problem. We look before we quote.
Every job below is handled by a licensed plumber, quoted before it starts, and covered by the lifetime labour warranty on eligible work.
Cleared properly, with a camera down the line to find out why it blocked.
Fix a cracked or root-damaged pipe without digging up the garden.
Burst pipes, sewage overflows and gas faults — 24 hours a day.
Repairs and replacements across electric, gas, solar and heat pump.
Find a hidden leak before anyone opens a wall or a slab.
Licensed gas work — appliances, new lines and suspected faults.
See what is actually in the pipe instead of guessing at it.
Isolate, repair and make good — usually the same day.
Get roof and surface water away from the house properly.
Describe what’s happening at your Henley property and we’ll tell you straight — including when the simple fix is the whole job.
What a job looks like here depends on what the suburb is built from and built on. Start with how people actually live in it:
On the southern riverfront of the Hunters Hill peninsula, between Huntleys Cove and Gladesville.
Established garden planting and river frontage reserves.
Henley sits in the Municipality of Hunter’s Hill, postcode 2111. Work needing a compliance certificate is lodged the same way across the LGA.

Nobody likes ringing for a price and being told “it depends”. These are typical ranges across the Sydney market — not Voyager’s price list, but a realistic yardstick to judge any quote against, including ours.
| Drains and pipes | |
|---|---|
| Clearing a simple blockage | $150 – $400 |
| Clearing a blocked main sewer line | $300 – $600 |
| High-pressure jetting | $250 – $600 |
| Cutting tree roots from a line | $400 – $1,200 |
| CCTV drain inspection | $250 – $550 |
| Pipe relining, per lineal metre | $450 – $800 |
| Pipe relining, typical whole job | $4,000 – $10,000 |
| Excavate and replace, per metre | $300 – $600 |
| Repairs | |
| Leaking tap — washer or cartridge | $120 – $250 |
| Burst pipe, accessible | $250 – $500 |
| Burst pipe, underground | $800 – $2,500+ |
| Hot water, leaks and emergencies | |
| Hot water repair (element, thermostat, anode) | $150 – $550 |
| Hot water replaced, supplied and installed | $1,200 – $3,500 |
| Water leak detection | $250 – $600 |
| After-hours emergency attendance | $400 – $900 |
Hot water replacement above is supplied and installed — labour-only quotes look cheaper because they are not the same thing. And relining costs more per metre than digging, but that comparison ignores excavation, spoil removal and putting your driveway back, which is where dig jobs get expensive.
Voyager prices by the job, not by the hour, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
Henley is 75.6% separate houses — but 20.5% of its dwellings are semis, terraces or townhouses, and only 2.6% are flats. That middle group is where the ownership question actually gets difficult.
On a freestanding block the line is simple: you maintain the wastewater pipes between your property and the point of connection, and Sydney Water maintains the main.
On a shared wall it often is not. A party-wall property frequently shares a drainage line with next door, and unlike a strata block there is no owners corporation to decide who is responsible or how a repair is split. That has to be agreed between owners — and it is far easier to agree before the work than after the invoice.
Some problems wait for a booking. Burst pipes, sewage backing up, a hot water unit emptying itself into the floor and any suspected gas fault do not.
Voyager runs a 24/7 line for Henley and the rest of the Lower North Shore. When you call, say what’s happening, where it is, and whether water, sewage or gas is involved — that’s what decides how fast someone needs to be there.
Before we arrive: turn off the affected supply if it’s safe to do so, and move what you can away from the water. Don’t pour drain chemicals down a blocked line — it makes the pipe unsafe to inspect and rarely clears the blockage.
Small riverside blocks with tight side access on the semis, and short street frontages throughout.
We assess access before quoting rather than discovering it on the day. On constrained sites it often decides which repair method is realistic, and that changes the price.
Storm season finds every drain that was never quite right. Better to know before it rains.
A short call is usually enough to tell whether it’s urgent, and what’s likely to be involved.
Where it matters, that means a camera down the line rather than a guess from the surface.
Priced by the job, not the hour. You approve it before anything starts.
You get told what caused it and whether anything else needs attention — including when the answer is nothing.
Voyager covers the whole Lower North Shore. These are the closest to Henley:
Voyager runs 24/7 for urgent work in Henley. How fast depends on where crews are at the time, but genuine emergencies — burst pipes, sewage overflows, suspected gas — are prioritised over booked jobs. Call 0485 028 787 and describe what’s happening.
A fifth of the suburb on shared walls. 20.5% semis and townhouses with effectively no apartment stock — so the shared-line question is between two private owners, with no building manager to arbitrate.
It depends whether you share a wall. Henley is 75.6% freestanding houses, where you maintain the pipes from your property to the point of connection and Sydney Water maintains the main. But 20.5% of dwellings here are semis, terraces or townhouses, and those frequently share a drainage line with the neighbour — with no owners corporation to settle who pays. We establish what the line serves before any work is authorised.
There’s no callout fee on eligible jobs, and quotes are free. You get a fixed price for the work before anything starts — priced by the job, not by the hour, so a job that takes longer than expected doesn’t cost you more.
Usually because the blockage was cleared but the cause wasn’t found. Mostly private house drainage, with a fifth of the suburb on shared walls — and at 156 dwellings there is very little of anything else. A camera inspection shows whether you’re dealing with a one-off or a damaged pipe that will keep catching.
Small riverside blocks with tight side access on the semis, and short street frontages throughout. We work that out before quoting, because on constrained sites it decides which repair method is realistic.
Often not. One of the smallest suburbs on this site, and one of the few with a real semi share but effectively no apartments — so the ownership question is between two owners, not a building manager. Relining repairs the pipe from the inside, which leaves driveways, paving and established gardens intact. Whether it suits your pipe depends on its condition — that’s what the camera inspection determines.
Across the Sydney market a simple blockage runs $150–$400, jetting a main line $250–$600, and pipe relining $450–$800 per lineal metre with most whole jobs landing between $4,000 and $10,000. Those are market ranges rather than Voyager’s price list. Reinstatement over established gardens on the detached blocks, and a second owner in the conversation on the semis. Locating the fault accurately is where the saving is either way. Voyager prices by the job, not the hour, and the price is agreed before work starts.
