Lleyton, owner and licensed plumber at Rose Plumbing

Meet the plumber

Hi, I’m Lleyton, stormwater 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.

Downpipe connected to underground drainage

Stormwater drainage

Roof water with somewhere to go

Stormwater needs a continuous path from collection to a legal discharge point. We assess pipe sizing, falls and the condition of existing lines, then plan new work or targeted repairs around the site's requirements.

  • New stormwater lines

    Correctly sized and graded lines from downpipes to a legal discharge point.

  • Blocked & collapsed pipes

    Cleared, camera-inspected and repaired or replaced where the pipe has failed.

Backyard drainage trenches connected to a stormwater pit

Connect the whole drainage system

Pits, grates and strip drains collect water where it pools. We also install sump pits and pump-out pits where gravity drainage isn't practical, assessing the site levels, pump requirements and suitable discharge point. We check how each part connects so a new grate or pipe doesn't simply move the flooding to another part of the yard.

  • Downpipe connections

    Loose or disconnected downpipes tied into the system properly.

  • Pits & grates

    Surface pits and grated drains installed where water collects, plus sump pits and pump-out pits where water needs to be pumped to a suitable discharge point.

FAQs

Questions we get asked

Why does my stormwater overflow in heavy rain?

Usually undersized pipe, poor fall or a partial blockage — a camera inspection tells us which.

Can you connect to the street?

Where a legal connection point exists, yes.

Do you repair old terracotta lines?

Yes, usually by replacing the failed sections with PVC.
