Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Belconnen, Bruce, Kaleen and Macgregor

Belconnen is one of Canberra's major districts and a big part of our ACT work. From the established suburbs of Kaleen and Bruce through to Macgregor and the wider Belconnen area, we're across it constantly.

Over the last two years we've done more than 450 jobs around Belconnen. It's a mix of established homes from Canberra's earlier decades and newer pockets, which means the full range of work: drains and aging pipework in the older streets, and more straightforward jobs where the housing's newer.

Canberra's cold winters make hot water a big part of what we do, and because we carry systems in the vans we can usually sort a failed one fast. When a drain blocks we find out what's actually behind it rather than just clearing it, so it's properly sorted.

That's been the Fix-It Right way since Richie started the business in 2007, and with the amount we work around Belconnen, there's a good chance we've got someone nearby.

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.

Belconnen plumbing questions

Why are you busy around Belconnen?

Because it's one of Canberra's major districts and we've built a strong local presence. We've done more than 450 jobs around Belconnen, Bruce, Kaleen and Macgregor in the last two years, so we know the area and its homes well.

Who's my water authority in Belconnen?

Icon Water covers Belconnen and the rest of the ACT. If the issue is at the meter or the sewer connection at the street, that's their responsibility, and we'll help you work out what's yours and what's theirs before any work starts.

My hot water's gone in Belconnen, can you sort it quickly?

Usually yes, and it matters with Canberra's cold winters. We carry the common hot water systems in the vans, so if yours can't be repaired we can often have a new one in and running the same day, sized to your household.

Why do drains block in the older Belconnen suburbs?

Usually the age of the pipes and tree roots getting into older sewer joints. We check what's actually behind a blockage rather than just clearing it, so you're not calling us back.

How quickly can you get to Belconnen?

Quickly, it's one of our busier Canberra areas. We cover Belconnen, Bruce, Kaleen and Macgregor, plus Lawson, Macquarie, Holt, Fraser, Florey, Flynn, Latham, Evatt and the surrounding suburbs.
