Installation And Maintenance Of Pumps In Your Building

If you manage a building in NSW and a fire safety inspection has flagged your hose reel system, you need a licensed plumber to fix the plumbing side of it. That’s what we do. We handle fire hose reel installations, replacements, and hydrant connections for strata complexes, commercial buildings, and industrial sites across the Sutherland Shire and southern Sydney.

What we do and what we don’t

We handle:

  • New fire hose reel installations (pipework, connections, reel mounting)
  • Replacement of ageing or failed reels and associated plumbing
  • Fire hydrant booster connections and main riser pipewor
  • Pressure testing and flow verification on the water supply side
  • Rectification work flagged after a building inspection or annual compliance check

We don’t do fire sprinkler systems, fire extinguisher servicing, or Annual Fire Safety Statement (AFSS) certification. Those sit with a fire protection contractor. What we do is the licensed plumbing work that feeds and connects the system.

If you’re a strata manager or owners corporation

This is probably where most of our fire hose reel calls come from as many strata complexes built across the Shire in the 1970s through 1990s, think the older walk-ups in Caringbah, Miranda, Gymea, and Engadine, are hitting the age where original reels and pipework need replacing.
The Annual Fire Safety Statement process flags them.
Your fire safety inspector notes the defect. Then someone has to actually fix the plumbing.

That’s where we come in. We work alongside your fire protection contractor, they handle the reel certification and compliance sign-off, we carry out the licensed plumbing rectification. Getting both trades coordinated and on site in a reasonable timeframe is usually the sticking point, and it’s something we’re used to managing.

For strata work, we can provide the scope of works documentation your strata committee will need, and a written quote suitable for committee approval. We understand the approval process takes time. We’re not going to chase you every three days.

If you’re a commercial building owner or developer

New commercial builds in NSW require fire hose reel systems under the NCC for most Class 5, 6, 7, and 8 buildings above a certain floor area. If you’re at the DA or construction certificate stage, your hydraulic engineer will specify the system. Our role is to install the pipework, reels, and hydrant connections to that specification, and to provide the compliance documentation for your certifier.

For existing commercial buildings, many older systems are being upgraded to meet current coverage requirements, buildings being repurposed or subdivided (which changes the required coverage), and rectification work following a fire safety audit. We’ll quote on what’s actually needed, not a blanket scope.

Where we work

We’re based in Kirrawee and work across the Sutherland Shire and southern Sydney: Caringbah, Miranda, Gymea, Engadine, Cronulla, Sylvania, Menai, Bangor, and surrounding suburbs.
Commercial and strata work in the inner south and Georges River area is also within our range.

What the process looks like

We’ll start with a site visit to assess the existing pipework, reel condition, and connection points. From there we’ll give you a written quote. Scope varies a lot depending on building age, existing pipe configuration, number of reels, and whether the hydrant booster connection needs work. We don’t quote over the phone for commercial fire hose reel work — there are too many variables, and we’d rather give you a number we can stand behind.

Once work is complete, we provide the plumbing compliance documentation. You or your fire safety contractor can then complete the Annual Fire Safety Statement process.

What the law says in NSW

Under the NSW Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011 and the work standards set by NSW Fair Trading, any work involving water supply pipework connected to fire hose reel systems must be carried out by a licensed plumber. Full stop.

The National Construction Code (NCC) sets out the performance requirements for fire hose reel systems in Class 2–9 buildings. Australian Standard AS 2441:2005 — Installation of Fire Hose Reels — specifies coverage areas, pressure requirements, reel placement, and connection standards.

Our contractor licence is 93566C, verifiable at the NSW Fair Trading public register. ABN 86 081 868 984.

This probably isn’t for you if…

You’re looking for someone to service, inspect, or certify your fire safety equipment annually, that’s a licensed fire protection contractor, not us. We’re plumbers. The Annual Fire Safety Statement involves fire safety measures beyond plumbing scope, and we’re not the right business for that.
You need sprinkler system work. Different trade, different licence category, different contractor.

Hydrant and Hose Reel FAQs

Common questions about commercial plumbing services answered by licensed Sydney plumbers

Yes. Under the NSW Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011, any work on the water supply pipework connected to a fire hose reel system must be carried out by a licensed plumber. This includes new installations, reel replacements, and any rectification work on the pipework or hydrant connections. The reel itself and its annual certification sit with a fire protection contractor — but the plumbing that supplies it is licensed plumber territory.

Two different trades, two different licences. A licensed plumber handles the water supply pipework, reel connections, hydrant boosters, and pressure compliance. A fire protection contractor handles the reel equipment itself, annual testing, and signs off the Annual Fire Safety Statement. Both are needed. Neither can do the other’s job legally. If a building has a defect notice after an AFSS inspection, you’ll typically need both trades to close it out properly.

AS 2441:2005 is the Australian Standard for the installation of fire hose reels. It sets out the coverage requirements (each reel must cover a 4-metre radius with a 36-metre hose), minimum flow rates, pressure requirements, and reel placement rules. Most Class 2–9 buildings in NSW — that’s everything from apartment blocks to offices, warehouses, and shops above a certain size — are required to have compliant systems under the National Construction Code. If your building was built or significantly renovated after the NCC adoption, it needs to meet these standards.

Call both, but start with your fire protection contractor. They’ll identify whether the defect is a plumbing issue (failed pipework, inadequate pressure, non-compliant connection) or an equipment issue (faulty reel mechanism, hose condition). If it’s plumbing, that’s where we come in. In practice, most rectification jobs need both trades — the plumber fixes the supply side, the fire contractor re-tests and certifies. Getting them coordinated is usually the job that falls to the strata manager, and it’s something we’re used to working through.

We provide the plumbing compliance certificate for the work carried out. This documents what was done, by whom, and to what standard — and it’s what your fire protection contractor and certifier will need to complete the compliance sign-off. For strata, we can also provide a scope of works summary suitable for committee records.

Not every building, but most commercial ones above a certain size do. The National Construction Code requires fire hose reel systems in Class 2–9 buildings where the floor area exceeds the thresholds set out in the NCC and where sprinkler systems are not already installed to cover the requirement. Your hydraulic engineer or certifier can confirm whether your specific building needs one — we can carry out the installation once the specification is confirmed.
