Any recommendations for a qualified plumber around TKO? I won't deal with any more of the so-called 'handyman' clowns with limited skills or 'jack-of-all-trades' types - they are the reason I now require a plumber...

Obvious question, not knowing where you live - Have you asked your building management for a list of recommended plumbers?
from past experience dealing with the muppets who 'manage' our building, that would be a waste of time...i would prefer referrals from expats who have dealt with major plumbing system problems involving pipes within concrete...(i can fix a leaky faucet and then some...) also no time for online diagnoses...just a phone number would be much appreciated

...and master of none! Handymans' are only really good at doing the DIY jobs that we can do ourselves.
I have a reliable plumber contact in NT but I will need to check whether he goes out to TKO.
In HK, u have to be careful with qualified electricans that try to diversify into plumbing, them lot can be an expensive alternative for a handyman.
re your contact in NT, frustrating how some won't make the effort...i had the wife call a local plumber in Sai Kung who basically said Hang Hau is too far lol...
I use Alan Engineering. They are pretty reliable and reasonably priced.
I think they are in North Point so you could see if you could lure them over to TKO!
I called Alan Engineering today and one of the guys came out to TKO to fix both my toilets (Which strangely stopped working at the same time ---spooky).
The guy was very efficient and very reasonably priced. No problem speaking English either.
Would definitely feel comfortable calling them again if I have a plumbing problem.
Could you give us an indication of what "reasonably priced" means to you? Experience tells me that it means very different things to different people!
Yes would be happy to. 400 call out charge to check whats the problems then about 500 to fix both toilets. Just under 900 for the job altogether. Bear in mind I am pretty useless at handyman stuff.

thanks for the suggestions...in the end I found a skilled expat (German) plumber in Sai Kung who shared my manic attention to detail, and did a first rate job...my new go-to guy.
