Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Gungahlin, Franklin, Harrison and Ngunnawal

Gungahlin is one of Canberra's fastest-growing districts, and it's a major part of our ACT work. From the newer estates of Franklin and Harrison through to established Ngunnawal, we're across the area constantly.

Over the last two years we've done more than 570 jobs around Gungahlin, over 320 in the last twelve months. A lot of Gungahlin is relatively new housing, which shapes the work: hot water systems, taps, toilets and the occasional issue left from the original build, rather than the old-pipe problems you get in Canberra's older suburbs. Where there are established streets, drains and aging pipework come into it more.

When a drain does block, we find out what's actually behind it, whether that's roots in an older line or something simpler in a newer one, rather than just clearing it. Canberra's cold winters also make hot water a big part of what we do here, and because we carry systems in the vans we can usually sort a failed one fast.

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

rahul saini
From my first phone call to the office to organise someone to come and have a look at a couple of issues, to the completion of the work I couldn't have been more impressed with the service I received from the Fix It Right plumbing team. Josh was brilliant, constantly keeping me informed of progress and always giving me a heads up when he was due to arrive. Josh was able to resolve a long standing issue with drainage seeping into my garage. His solution was first class and the amount of work he did to Fix It Right was exceptional. Can't recommend highly enough Josh and the entire Fix It Right team. It's great to know, that if we ever have any other issues we will be able to count on them to resolve any issues. Great work Josh and team.
Michael Roberts
Exceptional service from enquiry to completion. I called due to an upstairs shower causing damage to the downstairs ceiling. The staff were helpful on the phone and arranged for Blaze to be at our property within 30 minutes. Blaze was friendly, professional and knowledgeable, he was able to identify the problem, explain it and fix it correctly. If you need a great local plumber, this is who you call.
Jade Howard
Josh from Fix It Right Plumbing (Canberra) was fantastic. He gave me a 30-minute heads up before arriving and was super friendly and easy-going from the start. He thoroughly inspected an unusual leak issue and also checked the rest of the property, identifying a few things I wasn’t aware of. I really appreciated his honesty and clear communication about the best way forward, especially considering cost and time. The free call-out fee and comprehensive inspection are huge selling points. Highly recommend — I’ll update this review should I move ahead with the quoted work.
Amanda Mesler

Exceptional Service from Lachie at Fix It Right Plumbing Lachie attended our job promptly and went above and beyond! He replaced our broken hot water system quickly and efficiently, ensuring we weren’t left without hot water for long.

It’s rare to see such professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for the customer. Highly recommend Lachie and the team at Fix It Right Plumbing for their reliable and top-quality service!

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.

Gungahlin plumbing questions

Why are you busy around Gungahlin?

Because it's one of Canberra's fastest-growing areas and we've built a solid local presence. We've done more than 570 jobs around Gungahlin, Franklin, Harrison and Ngunnawal in the last two years, so we know the district and its mostly-newer housing well.

Who's my water authority in Gungahlin?

Icon Water covers Gungahlin 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 Gungahlin, can you sort it quickly?

Usually yes, and it matters more here 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, rather than leaving you without.

I'm in a newer Gungahlin estate, what usually goes wrong?

In the newer estates it's mostly hot water systems, taps and the occasional thing left over from the original install, rather than old-pipe problems. These are often straightforward, and we're out this way regularly.

How quickly can you get to Gungahlin?

Quickly, it's one of our busier Canberra areas. We cover Gungahlin, Franklin, Harrison and Ngunnawal, plus Palmerston, Casey, Mitchell, Moncrieff, Amaroo, Nicholls, Bonner, Forde and the surrounding suburbs.

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.
