Based where we work

Fan coil unit drain pan overflow staining ceilings, usually a blocked condensate line rather than a leak from above

Imported sanitaryware and mixer cartridges with no local parts supply, where the repair depends on sourcing rather than labour

Condenser coils corroding two to three times faster than inland, causing gradual cooling loss that is often misdiagnosed as low gas

Original fan coil units at end of life, where continued repair costs more over two years than replacement

Pool plant corrosion and salt chlorinator cell failure, often needing replacement rather than service

Ducted AC delivering uneven cooling between rooms because dampers were never balanced and have since drifted

Snagging defects that remain the developer's responsibility, where paying a contractor is the wrong move

Galvanised pipework corroded internally, producing recurring pinhole leaks that appear in a new place after each repair

Villa subdivisions where the original single-family electrical and plumbing design now serves several households

Wet-area waterproofing omitted or applied over an untested substrate, showing as leaks into the unit below within two to three years
