Meet the plumber
Hi, I’m Lleyton, leak detection 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.
Leak detection
Narrow down the leak before opening up
An unexplained water bill or a damp patch is worth investigating. Meter checks and isolation help narrow the affected area before access is opened, reducing unnecessary disruption to walls, paving or garden beds.
Hidden & underground leaks
Meter testing and isolation to narrow the leak down before we start opening things up.
Wall, slab & ceiling leaks
Located and repaired with as little cutting as possible.
Leak detection
Repair the damaged pipe, not just the symptoms
Not every damp patch comes from a water supply pipe. We check the likely source, explain what we've found and discuss the appropriate repair, including replacing failed sections and testing the repaired connections.
Roof & downpipe water
Sorting out whether it's plumbing or stormwater before you pay to fix the wrong thing.
Proper repairs
Failed sections replaced rather than patched so it doesn't come back.

FAQs
Questions we get asked

Turn everything off and watch the meter — if it's still moving, something is leaking.

Sometimes, but we isolate the area first to keep it as small as possible.
Can you help with an insurance claim?
We can provide a written report on what we found and repaired.
