Meet the plumber
Hi, I’m Lleyton, subsoil drainage specialist
I'm Lleyton, the owner and licensed plumber behind Rose Plumbing. I've been in the trade for over seven years and I started this business because I wanted to give Newcastle locals a plumber they could actually rely on — someone who turns up when he says he will, does the job properly and doesn't dress it up in jargon.
Every job gets the same care, big or small. I'll explain what's going on in plain English, give you a clear price up front and leave your place tidy. I work across Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter, and most of my work comes from repeat customers and word of mouth — which is exactly how I like it.
AG drains & subsoil drainage
A drainage system beneath your lawn
Subsoil drainage collects water held in the ground rather than just surface runoff. We assess the wet areas and available outlet, then set out slotted pipe with clean aggregate and geotextile to reduce soil entering the system.
Proper fall & design
Trenches set out with the right fall so water actually leaves the yard.
Slotted pipe & aggregate
Geotextile sock, clean aggregate and the correct backfill so the drain doesn't silt up.
AG drains & subsoil drainage
Water away from walls and garden beds
Behind retaining walls and around saturated garden beds, the drain needs a suitable fall and discharge point. We discuss the trench layout and reinstatement with you before excavation so the installation suits the site.
Retaining walls & garden beds
Drainage behind walls and beds to relieve pressure and stop constant saturation.
Connected correctly
Discharged to a legal point, not just tipped into the neighbour's yard.
