Very professional, honest and reliable tradesmen. There was regular correspondence and they turned up on time. Jason and Jack were very patient and explained everything in detail to me. They are both very knowledgeable and carried out the work to a high standard. Besides installing a number of taps and basin sets they also installed a tempering valve on my hot water system. They were very tidy and cleaned up afterwards and also took away the old tapware. I would highly recommend them with no hesitation.

Plumbing Services FAQ’S

Some information about plumbing services that a lot of the Rodd Point residents ask for. Looking for something specific? Contact us directly for more information.

Plumbers deal with plumbing issues 24/7 and know the cause by a single inspection, so the answer is YES you should as it will cost you money and time in the long run if you don’t, also if you decide to do your own plumbing and make a drastic mistake, the cost of repairs will be more than the original repair if you had called a plumber in the first instance. It is at all times suggested to call our Rodd Point plumber team.

A gurgling drain occurs when a blockage occurs inside the drain pipes. When your drains are blocked, water drains slower, creating bubbles; this is the source of the gurgling sound.

A sink drains slowly if the pipes in the bathroom, kitchen, or laundry have become clogged. Water cannot freely flow through blocked pipes, so it takes longer for the drain to empty.

As locals, we will make sure you receive our services within a short period of calling us. Our emergency phone number is 1300 237 246.

CANADA GOOSE NESTING ON THE ROCKS
Fort Rodd Hill, Colwood, BC The mother goose waits until all her eggs are laid before she begins to sit on her nest to incubate her eggs. Incubation time usually lasts between 28 and 30 days. Mating season for the geese is usually between February and March, nesting occurs around April and the majority of goslings will hatch between April and May. When egg laying begins the "Father" goose will stand sentinel, on watch nearby. He will not stand so close as to give away location of the nest to a predator. When a solitary goose is seen during nesting season, it is more than likely that a nest is somewhere in the vicinity. The eggs in a nest are called a "clutch" and the average number of eggs in a nest is five. The mother goose will lay one egg at a time and each egg will be laid approximately one day apart, until the full clutch is laid. Eggs that are not being incubated are cool to the touch and when undeveloped eggs (still fluid) are placed in water, they will sink or float vertically with the wider portion of the egg pointing down. Developed eggs will float horizontally or at a slight angle and break the surface of the water. At that point they are one to two weeks away from hatching. If they are wild geese, it is important not to touch the eggs as the parents will be extremely protective over the eggs and may attack. If they do not attack, there is a chance you will scare them off and they may not return to their eggs to care for their young. All of the goose eggs in the single clutch will hatch on approximately the same day and baby geese are called "goslings". Natural predators of geese are foxes, raccoons, owls and snapping turtles. Goslings can fly approximately two to three months after hatching.

CANADA GOOSE NESTING ON THE ROCKS
Fort Rodd Hill, Colwood, BC Canada Geese begin to mate at around two to three years of age. They will mate for life unless one dies, then they will find another mate. The female chooses the nesting spot which is usually on a somewhat elevated ground by water that has an unobstructed view. They want to be able to spot predators nearby. The nest also built by the female, is a shallow bowl made of sticks, grass, weeds, moss, and lined with down feathers. She is the only one to incubate the eggs with the male on guard. Canada Geese have one brood with the female laying anywhere from two to eight creamy white eggs. Incubation takes up to twenty-eight days. Within twenty four hours the young goslings are able to walk, swim, feed, and dive. When the young are about two to three months old they learn to fly.

L2022_2180 - Buckland Abbey - Devon
Sir Francis Drake Heraldic Coat of Arms - the motto reads "Great Things from Small Beginnings". Buckland Abbey is a Grade I listed 700-year-old house in Buckland Monachorum near Yelverton in West Devon. Despite visiting the area for many years and regularly staying at a hotel just 15 -20 minutes drive away this was the first time I have visited Buckland Abbey! A gallery of images of Buckland Abbey can be found here: www.jhluxton.com/England/Devonshire/Buckland-Abbey The house noted for its connection with Sir Richard Grenville the Younger and Sir Francis Drake. It is owned by the National Trust. Buckland Abbey was founded as a Cistercian abbey in 1278 by Amicia, Countess of Devon and was a daughter house of Quarr Abbey, on the Isle of Wight. It was one of the last Cistercian houses founded in England and the most westerly. The Bishop of Exeter episcopal registers show the abbey managed five granges at Buckland plus the home farm at the abbey. A market and fair at Buckland and Cullompton were granted in 1318. In 1337 King Edward III granted the monks a licence to crenellate. In the 15th century the monks built a Tithe Barn which is 180 feet (55 m) long and survives to this day. Of almost cathedral like proportions, it is a Grade I listed building. Buckland remained an abbey until the Dissolution of the Monasteries by King Henry VIII. In 1541 Henry VIII sold Buckland to Sir Richard Grenville the Elder (Sewer of the Chamber to Henry VIII, poet, soldier, last Earl Marshall of Calais) who, working with his son Sir Roger Greynvile (Gentleman of the Privy Chamber of Henry VIII, Captain of the ill-fated Mary Rose), began to convert the abbey into a residence, renaming it Buckland Greynvile. Sir Roger died in 1545 when the Mary Rose heeled over in a sudden squall while the English fleet was engaged with the French Fleet in the Narrow Sea off Portsmouth. He left a son aged 3, also named Richard Grenville, who completed the conversion in 1575–76. After being owned by the family for 40 years, Buckland Greynvile was sold by Sir Richard the Younger to two intermediaries in 1581, who unknown to Grenyvile, were working for Drake, whom he despised. The abbey is unusual in that the church was retained as the principal component of the new house whilst most of the remainder was demolished, which was a reversal of the normal outcome with this type of redevelopment. Drake lived in the house for 15 years, as did many of his collateral descendants including the Dowager Lady Seaton, Born Elisabeth Fuller-Elliot-Drake, who died on 9 May 1937. She left a life interest to Captain Richard Owen Tapps Gervis Meyrick. In 1946 he sold it to Captain Arthur Rodd,] who presented the property to the National Trust in 1947. Following a restoration between 1948 and 1951 which cost around £20,000 (equivalent to £640,000 in 2020), largely funded by the Pilgrim Trust the property has been open to the public since 1951 and is operated by the National Trust with the assistance of Plymouth City Council — the Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery use the building to house part of their collection. The collection is noted for the presence of "Drake's Drum". A number of independent craft workshops are located in the converted ox sheds. The Cider House Garden includes both a wild garden and a kitchen garden. There is also a medieval Great Barn next to the house.] In March 2013 the portrait of a man wearing a white feathered bonnet was re-attributed to Rembrandt by the Rembrandt expert Ernst van de Wetering. In June 2014, after eight months of work at the Hamilton Kerr Institute, the painting's authenticity was confirmed and its value estimated at £30m. (Information from Wikipedia)

It was named after HMS Fisgard, a British Navy ship that spent time in the Pacific. Fisgard Lighthouse and its sister station Race Rocks Light, were constructed in 1859–60, to ease the movement of naval ships into Esquimalt harbour and merchant ships into Victoria Harbour. The light stations were also seen as a significant political and fiduciary commitment on the part of the British government to the Colony of Vancouver Island, partly in response to the American gold miners flooding into the region: some 25,000 arrived in 1858 for the Fraser gold rush. The cast-iron spiral staircase in the tower was made in sections in San Francisco.Local legend claims that the brick and stone used in construction were sent out from Britain as ballast; in fact local brick yards and quarries supplied these materials, while the lens, lamp apparatus and lantern room were accompanied from England by the first keeper, Mr. George Davies, in 1859. The cast-iron spiral staircase in the tower was made in sections in San Francisco. Fisgard first showed a light from the tower at sunset on 16 November 1860. Colonial Governor James Douglas petitioned the British government to build the lighthouse. Captain Richards supported his position. Construction was supervised by Colonial Surveyor and Engineer JD Pemberton. Architects John Wright and Hermann Otto Tiedemann did the design of the lighthouse and the picturesque gothic red brick residence adjoining it. Permanent steel shutters were added to the landward side of the lantern room some time after 1897, when concussion from the 6-inch guns at newly built Fort Rodd Hill caused cracks to appear in the lantern windows. The last keeper to actually live full-time at Fisgard was George Johnson; Josiah Gosse, Fisgard's final keeper, had permission from the lighthouse authority to live ashore (nearby on Esquimalt Lagoon), and row out to Fisgard every evening. In the early 1940s, the acetylene lamp in Fisgard's tower was replaced by a battery-powered electric light. In 1950–51, a causeway was built out to Fisgard Island from the foreshore at Fort Rodd Hill by the Canadian Army; this was intended as a military obstacle, but also provided direct access to Fisgard Lighthouse.

CANADIAN FORCES BASE (CFB) ESQUIMALT, Vancouver Island
Esquimalt, BC Canada Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt (CFB Esquimalt) is located west of Victoria in British Columbia. Established as a military installation by the Royal Navy in 1855, the base is home to the Canadian Navy Maritime Forces Pacific (MARPAC). CFB Esquimalt includes 1,500 buildings spread over 23 sites on an area of about 5,000ha. The units within the base employ over 4,100 regular and reserve military forces and around 2,500 civilian personnel. Located at the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Esquimalt is linked to the Strait of Juan de Fuca by a narrow channel, Royal Roads. The base is divided into three main areas. The dockyard is the largest area and is located at the end of the Esquimalt Road, about 7km from downtown. The second largest section, Naden, is approximately 2km from the Dockyard. The third area is Work Point, which can be found about 2km from Naden. The naval port at Esquimalt Harbour was christened in 1848. Permanent shore facilities were created in 1855 by the UK forces. The Royal Navy established an alternate base at Esquimalt in 1865 and in 1876 the first major construction began: the Royal Navy graving dock. Built for the Royal Navy’s largest ships, the facility received its first vessel, HMS Cormorant, in July 1887. The graving dock helped to strengthen the navy’s capabilities in the Pacific region.

FORT RODD HILL NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE c. 1895 -1956
Colwood, BC Canada Tour through secret bunkers, military command posts and original 19th century buildings at Fort Rodd Hill, a west coast artillery fortress on active duty from 1895 to 1956. Between the years of 1895-1897, new forts were built at Fort Rodd Hill, across the harbour from Esquimalt Naval Base, and Macaulay Point, which lies between Victoria harbour and Esquimalt Harbour. Both forts were built with 6” disappearing guns and since Fort Rodd Hill was relatively isolated at the time, its construction included defensive walls lined with rifle slits designed to repel land assaults until reinforcements could arrive from Esquimalt’s Work Point Barracks. In 1900, two 12-pounder quick firing guns were placed at the Belmont Battery to prevent small fast torpedo boats from slipping under the larger guns of the upper and lower batteries. During the Second World War, the old 12-pounders were replaced with twin-barrelled 6-pounder guns with a much higher rate of fire.
