Plumber and gas fitter in Melville
Post-war and sixties homes, a lot of them on the original drainage with a newer kitchen and bathroom sitting on top. Galvanised pipe still turns up in the walls here more often than anywhere else we work.

What Melville rings us about
The three faults this suburb produces more than its share of, which is a function of when it was built rather than of anything anybody did wrong.

What Melville says
- Burst pipe repair
“Fixed the leak properly and it has been fine since. Took two visits rather than one because a part had to come from the east, which was a nuisance, but they rang me each day to tell me where it was up to instead of leaving me wondering.”
15 to 20 minutes
The yard is in Willetton, which is the reason this list stops where it does. We would rather cover twelve suburbs properly than forty on a map.
For an emergency
You get a time on the phone rather than a four-hour window, and a text if we are running behind. Typically under an hour into Melville.
For booked work
Booked against the River run, so you get a morning or an afternoon rather than a day. Nothing extra for a Saturday.
The rest of the River run
A plumber for Melville, at any hour
15 to 20 minutes. You get the price before anything comes out of the van, and the same plumber stays on the job until it is done.
