Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Cheltenham, Mentone, Beaumaris, Black Rock and Sandringham

Cheltenham and the bayside suburbs around it are established, comfortable areas close to the water. We work across Cheltenham, Mentone, Beaumaris, Black Rock and Sandringham, and the coastal setting shapes a fair bit of what we do.

Over the last two years we've done more than 150 jobs around Cheltenham. It's a steady mix of blocked drains, taps, toilets and hot water. The area runs from post-war homes through to new coastal builds, with sandy soils and mature gardens closer to the bay.

Tree roots play their part in the drain work, finding their way into older sewer joints through the sandy ground. When we clear a blockage around Cheltenham we check whether roots are the cause, so it's sorted properly rather than just cleared.

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

Cheltenham plumbing questions

Why do drains block around Cheltenham?

Often it's tree roots getting into older sewer joints, helped by the sandy bayside soils and established gardens around Mentone, Beaumaris and Black Rock. We check whether roots are the cause rather than just clearing a blockage, so you're not calling us back.

Who's my water authority in Cheltenham?

South East Water covers Cheltenham, Mentone, Beaumaris, Black Rock and Sandringham. If the issue 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.

Do you work on homes close to the bay around Beaumaris and Black Rock?

Yes, often. The coastal suburbs have their own conditions, sandy soils, salt air and a mix of older homes and new builds. We know the area and sort the plumbing to suit, whether it's an older place or a new coastal build.

How quickly can you get to Cheltenham?

The bayside is a regular patch, so Cheltenham, Mentone, Beaumaris, Black Rock and Sandringham are well covered, along with Highett, Parkdale and Dingley Village.

What jobs do you do most around Cheltenham?

A steady mix of blocked drains, taps, toilets and hot water, plus leak detection, burst pipes and gas. 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.

  • Fixed For Good. Done properly the first time, triple tested before we leave, and backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty.

Every job

Fix-It Now - Pay Later

12 months, no interest, nothing to pay

Get it fixed today, on any job, and make your first payment in a year. It's there because a burst pipe doesn't wait for payday, and neither should the repair.

*Eligible jobs. Terms, conditions and credit approval apply.

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.
