Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in South Yarra, Toorak, Prahran and Malvern

South Yarra and the suburbs around it are some of Melbourne's grandest, full of period homes, mansions and older apartment blocks. We work right across South Yarra, Toorak, Prahran and Malvern, and it's a busy part of town for us.

Over the last two years we've done more than 250 jobs around South Yarra. Blocked drains top the list, with taps and leak detection close behind. The area is a mix of large period homes and established flats, which throws up everything from aging pipework to the wear-and-tear of apartment living.

When a drain blocks here, tree roots are behind it about one in eight times, less than the leafier outer suburbs but still worth checking. We find out whether roots are the cause rather than just clearing the blockage, so the problem's properly sorted.

Whatever the job, from a blocked drain to a hidden leak or a hot water system, we fix the cause, not just the symptom. That's been the Fix-It Right way since Richie started the business in 2007.

Brendan came out to our newly acquired, old house and repaired a very bodgy washing machine pipe and drainage arrangement. He took the time to ask questions and analyse what would best fit in a tight, difficult space. Courteous and very tidy, I would highly recommend him and his work.

Lee Baker
Josh is a top bloke. From the moment he arrived at our place he kept us informed, did a great job and was very reasonable and accomodating with the pricing. Highly recommend him and to be honest wouldn’t trust anyone else but Josh in the future for our plumbing work. Cheers legend.
Edward Taylor
Arron was extremely helpful and responsive with a difficult toilet repair which required sourcing an interstate part during lockdown. Excellent communication and workmanship. Definitely recommended.
Michael Schwarz
Great service, pricing was up front and very reasonable, gave us options to simply repair or do a full replacement with 10 year warranty - the price difference for a full replacement wasn't even much more so it was well and truly worthwhile. Daniel the plumber was really professional and friendly and did a great job.

The same plumber, start to finish

The plumber who comes out and works out what's wrong is the one who fixes it, and he stays with your job from start to finish until it's done properly, top to bottom. We don't send one person to look and another to do the work, and we never pull your plumber off your job to chase the next call. Not many plumbing companies anywhere are that strict about it, and it's why the job gets done right the first time.

South Yarra plumbing questions

Do you work on the big period homes around South Yarra and Toorak?

Yes, often. South Yarra, Toorak and Malvern have a lot of large older homes and mansions, and the original plumbing in them can be complex and worth looking after properly. We use leak detection to find problems exactly before we touch anything, which matters in a home where you don't want unnecessary damage.

Who's my water authority in South Yarra?

South East Water covers most of South Yarra, Toorak and Prahran. Malvern is Yarra Valley Water. Either way, if the trouble is at the meter or the street connection that's their responsibility, and we'll help you work out what's yours and what's theirs before any work starts.

Why do drains block around South Yarra?

A mix of things. Tree roots are behind about one in eight, and the rest is usually aging pipework or what's gone down the drain in older flats and homes. We find out what's actually causing a blockage so we fix the right thing, not just clear it.

How quickly can you get to South Yarra?

The inner south-east is a regular patch, so South Yarra, Toorak, Prahran and Malvern are well covered, along with Armadale, Windsor and Malvern East.

What jobs do you do most around South Yarra?

Blocked drains, taps and leak detection are the big three, but we do the lot: hot water, toilets, burst pipes, gas and general maintenance. Whatever the job, we fix the cause, not just the symptom.

What every job comes with

  • $0 call-out. We come out and look things over. If you don't go ahead, you don't pay.

  • Three written quotes. The first gets you out of trouble, the last takes care of everything the whole-home check found, and there's one in between. All of them are proper fixes.
