Hot Water
Gas, electric, continuous-flow and heat-pump hot water replacements, including upgrades from older storage systems.
I cover Rowville for hot water replacements and larger plumbing jobs. I'm based in Frankston, so I'm best suited to planned work, like replacing an ageing system before it fails or an upgrade you've been meaning to do, rather than quick emergency call-outs.
If your hot water system is 10 or more years old, replacing it on your terms means you choose the right unit at a time that suits you, without a cold-shower panic. I'll inspect your current setup, recommend the best option and give you a fixed quote. Heat pumps may qualify for a Solar Victoria rebate, and as an authorised retailer I can check that for you.
Gas, electric, continuous-flow and heat-pump hot water replacements, including upgrades from older storage systems.
Repairs for burst water lines, leaking pipework and visible plumbing leaks around the home or property.
Investigation of hidden or hard-to-locate water leaks when the source is not immediately obvious.
Backflow testing, servicing and specialist backflow prevention work for suitable domestic and commercial installations.
Repairs and replacement work for taps, toilets, basins, pipework and common household plumbing fixtures.
Blocked drain clearing, sewer repairs and help with recurring drainage problems.
Replacing an old storage tank with a wall-mounted continuous flow unit frees up space and gives you endless hot water. I do this upgrade regularly across Melbourne's south-east, including upgrading the gas line where the old one isn't big enough for the new unit.
Rowville, plus nearby Lysterfield, Narre Warren and Berwick. I'm based in Frankston, so I'm best suited to planned replacements and upgrades here.

Gas, electric, continuous-flow and heat-pump systems supplied and installed properly — no shortcuts, no guesswork.

"John is friendly, responsive and a great communicator. Most importantly, his work is neat and professional. Super helpful with suggestions and completed the work with a minimum of fuss. Highly recommended."
"had a broken waste water pipe under my bathtub in my bathroom and john came out within 30 minutes of me calling his mobile in the afternoon, he had a wet and dry vacuum and vacuumed up all the overflowing water and saved my bathroom and toilet area from flooding, he located the issues and handled the repairs couldn’t recommend john enough! thank you again"
"John was great! I had a leaking gas pipe under the floor, he attended within the first hour of calling and fixed the issue straight away. I’ll be definitely using their services again!"
"Fantastic service, we had a significant sewer pipe problem buried 2m underground, quite a challenge that others walked away from. Due to the location, this had to be dug out and backfilled manually by shovel and spade. Tough job but John fixed this up in no time. Excellent work, highly recommend."
"John did a fantastic job replacing a portion of my gutters and a downpipe that had corroded. This was an extremely difficult job given the location of the work in an extremely high (6m) part of my house. John made sure he worked in a safe manner given the difficulty. John left the premises in a tidy condition after his full day work."
"John responded quickly to my call out and arrived when he said he would. His quote was accurate and he completed the work in the time he suggested it would take. He was at all times the consummate professional. If you want a good plumber, this is your guy"
"Contacted John as had a broken water pipe in the front yard. Arrived on time and worked and fixed the problem with no issue, very professional and stuck to his quote which was awesome"
Straight answers to the things Rowville customers ask me most.
If it's over 10 years old, getting a quote now means you're ready to go, and you can choose a better system rather than a rushed replacement.
Yes. I inspect your current setup first, then quote the job up front.
It depends on your household and existing setup. I'll give you a clear recommendation and a price for each option.
