Richie Foster, Fix-It Right Plumbing

Plumbers in Oakleigh, Clayton and Chadstone

Oakleigh and the suburbs around it are established, well-located areas in Melbourne's south-east, a mix of post-war family homes, newer townhouses and the busy pockets around Clayton and Chadstone. We work across Oakleigh, Clayton and Chadstone, and we know the area well.

Over the last two years we've done more than 110 jobs around Oakleigh. It's a steady mix of blocked drains, taps, toilets and hot water, the everyday things that come up in family homes. Much of the housing is brick from the 1950s to 70s, with plenty being redeveloped into townhouses.

Those older homes and established gardens make tree roots a regular cause of blocked drains. When we clear a blockage around Oakleigh we check whether roots are behind it, so it's fixed 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.

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.

Oakleigh plumbing questions

Why do drains block around Oakleigh?

Often tree roots. Oakleigh, Clayton and Chadstone have plenty of older homes with established gardens and aging sewer lines, and roots get into the joints. We check whether roots are behind a blockage rather than just clearing it, so you're not calling us back.

Who's my water authority in Oakleigh?

South East Water covers Oakleigh, Clayton and Chadstone. 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.

I'm redeveloping an older Oakleigh block, can you do the plumbing?

Yes, it's common around here. A lot of the older Oakleigh and Clayton homes are being replaced with townhouses, and we can handle the plumbing from the ground up, as well as sorting problems with existing pipework before you start.

How quickly can you get to Oakleigh?

The south-east is a regular patch, so Oakleigh, Clayton and Chadstone are well covered, along with Ashwood, Oakleigh South, Clayton South and Oakleigh East.

What jobs do you do most around Oakleigh?

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.
