Somerville Plumber (3912) – From New Estates to Rural Properties
Somerville has new estates going up alongside older homes in town and rural properties around the edges, and I work on all of them. I'm based in Frankston, so Somerville is an easy run down the road.

PLUMBING SERVICES
Hot water replacement in Somerville, including LPG.
Whether you're in a newer estate home or an older house in town, I replace gas, electric, continuous flow and heat pump systems, usually the same day for like-for-like swaps. Rural properties not on mains gas often run on LPG, and I install and convert LPG hot water and appliances. Heat pumps can suit properties without mains gas too, and as an authorised Solar Victoria retailer I can check whether a rebate applies.
Burst Pipes & Water Leaks
Repairs for burst pipes, leaking water lines and damaged pipework in Somerville homes and properties.
Leak Detection
Investigation of hidden or hard-to-locate water leaks when the source is not immediately obvious.
Backflow Prevention
Backflow testing, servicing and specialist backflow prevention work for suitable domestic and commercial installations.
Fixtures & Repairs
Repairs and replacement work for taps, toilets, basins, pipework and common household plumbing fixtures.
Drainage & Sewers
Blocked drain clearing, sewer repairs and help with recurring blockages throughout Somerville.
RURAL AND LARGER PROPERTIES
Rural plumbing around Somerville
Long water and gas runs to sheds, granny flats and outbuildings, LPG bottle setups and regulators, and stormwater and drainage on bigger blocks. I'm set up for the bigger rural jobs as well as everyday plumbing in town.

★★★★★
"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."
Richard Williams
★★★★★
"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."
