I think your strata manager is unjustly stalling. If the work has been carried out it should be paid. The plumber attended to your problem in good faith, with an expectation of being paid. The issue of the rubbish is a small reason to withhold the payment.
On the other hand , since you contracted the plumber, you are responsible for the payment of the plumber. Therefore the plumber is within his rights to chase you for payment.
Its an unpalateable situation for both you and the plumber to be in.
If you can, pay the plumber yourself and then seek reimbursement from the Strata manager. You never know when you are going to need a plumber in a hurry in the future.
