Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Hastings, Somerville and Tyabb

Hastings and the towns around it sit on the Western Port side of the Mornington Peninsula, a semi-rural, down-to-earth part of the world with a working waterfront, bigger blocks and a real country feel. We work across Hastings, Somerville and Tyabb, and it's a steady patch for us.

Over the last two years we've done more than 150 jobs around Hastings. It's a full spread of blocked drains, hot water, taps and toilets. The area runs from the older town homes through to growing Somerville and the rural-residential blocks around Tyabb, so we see a bit of everything.

On the larger and older blocks, drains and aging pipework come into it more, and tree roots can be a cause out here. In the newer Somerville estates it's more often hot water and taps. Either way, we find what's actually behind a problem rather than just patching it.

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.

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.

Hastings plumbing questions

Do you cover the Western Port towns?

Yes, it's a regular patch. We cover Hastings, Somerville and Tyabb, along with Baxter, Balnarring, Pearcedale, Somers and Crib Point.

I'm on a bigger rural-residential block around Tyabb, can you help?

Yes, we work on the larger blocks out here regularly. Bigger properties can have longer drain runs and their own quirks, and we know the area well enough to sort them properly. We use drain cameras to see exactly what's going on before we start.

Who's my water authority in Hastings?

South East Water covers Hastings, Somerville and Tyabb. 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 Hastings, can you sort it quickly?

Usually yes. We carry the common hot water systems on 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.

How quickly can you get to Hastings?

The Western Port side of the Peninsula is a regular patch, so Hastings, Somerville and Tyabb are well covered, and we're close across the rest of the Peninsula too.
