Here are a few photos from a complete house renovation that I just finished in Ringwood. In this renovation several things took place. A very large bedroom was divided to incorporate a en suite, the laundry was moved to another part of house to make way for a large rumpus room, the kitchen and bathroom were completely stripped out and changed around.

This was a really old run down house, but with a bit of elbow grease, and some great planning by the owner its now a modern looking comfy home just waiting for a family to move in.

Burst pipe. Croydon Fair Prices. Quality Work

Burst pipe in wall, Croydon.

This week I had a call out to inspect a dripping sound from the bathroom.
It turns out this home owner only purchased the house a week prior. The house had been completely renovated, the leak was somewhere behind the newly tiled shower wall. It was going to be a shame to destroy that new wall, not to mention the repair bill! The owner would have to repair all the tiles afterwards, and to add insult to injury his house and contents insurer would not cover $1 towards it.

Its not easy to locate a leak behind a thick tiled wall, as noise will travel. With some extra time taken to narrow down the problem area, and some extra care taken to very carefully cut the tile out, I was able to open a hole in the wall. Then I repaired the leak caused by previous renovator, and then glued the tile back into position. Once the tile is re-grouted no one will ever know. The owner was extremely happy with the outcome.

If you are buying a home always ask for receipts and certificates for any work that has been done.  Protect your investment by making sure the job was done right. Only a licensed plumber can do plumbing work and is required to issue a certificate of compliance at the end.

P.S.  DONT RISK IT, ONLY USE A LICENSED PLUMBER

Gas Ducted Heating in Heathmont .

This ducted heating unit would sometimes work and sometimes not.
The cause was simple enough, a worn out fan. Although I was able to get the fan reconditioned, the customer agreed with my recommendation that a new heater would be a better option.  A new heater would be more efficient, heat up the house faster and would be trouble free with warranty. After all there is nothing like a toasty warm house in a Melbourne winter!

Energy safe Australia highly recommends servicing your gas appliances every 2 years. This is not only important to check for carbon monoxide, but also to check electrical components, gas pressure and to clean the unit and gas injectors. A dirty heater will not operate correctly and can also build up to much heat within the unit reducing its life. An efficient heater is not only safe, but cheaper to run. We do all repairs to heaters including replacement fans, ignition boxes and circuit boards. Call us to arrange a service today!

!cid_7E56F781-D0EB-489F-AE3A-762382525004      There is nothing nicer than a dip in a nice warm pool or spa. On the other hand, there is nothing more chilling than the shock of ice cold water! When was the last time you had your pool or spa heater serviced? Like any other gas appliance it needs regular maintenance. When ignored it will fail when you need it the most. We can service your appliance or replace it,  if your old unit is too far gone. Or alternatively if you just want a faster,  more efficient model.

Is it time to update your laundry ? Why not make it a room that your proud to show off! The days of the old steel laundry sink cabinet are long gone. Why not install floor to ceiling cabinets to give yourself plenty of storage to organise all that linen, odds and ends.  All your tap wear, washing  and dryer can be hidden under the bench top. With a nice big bench top give your self plenty of room to work. The laundry is one of the hardest working rooms in the family home and it needs to be user friendly. A beautiful space where you spend so much time doesn’t hurt either. Call us to arrange a quote today.

Fair Prices. Hot Water Safety Quality Work Wantirna Water Tempering Valve.

Hot Water Safety, Wantirna

  • Post author By admin

For many, many years it has been law that a hot water safety valve must be installed on every new home, unit, bungalow etc.. Or on an existing home the moment any plumbing work has been altered in the home, or the hot water unit has been changed.
This law is not meant to be annoying its meant to protect our most vulnerable , the young, the elderly and the disabled.
There is still millions of homes that do not have a tempering valve installed.
At 50 deg it takes 5 min to cause a 3rd deg burn
At 55 deg it takes 10 sec to cause a 3rd deg burn
At 60 deg it only takes 1 sec to cause a 3rd deg burn
The average temperature of a domestic storage hot water unit is “70 deg”
A tempering valve mixes cold water with hot water after it comes out of the water heater so it can not come out of your tap any higher than 50 deg.
If your hot water service has not been supplying enough hot water for your family’s needs DO NOT turn it up! If you do not have a tempering valve you are flirting with danger.
Children are curious and like to explore there surrounding. If they don’t know that hot water is dangerous   a severe scald can result, and require painful skin grafts and years of treatment.
A tempering valve is not a big expense and most of the time can easily be retro fitted to your existing hot water unit. Call us today for a free quote.
