Looking after Canterbury's grand old homes
Canterbury is one of Melbourne's grandest heritage suburbs — large Victorian and Edwardian homes on generous blocks, the beautifully preserved Maling Road shopping village, and the leafy Canterbury Gardens at its centre. We've kept the suburb's grand old homes plumbed for nearly 40 years.
Big old homes on big old blocks come with long drain runs and mature gardens, and tree roots have a habit of finding the original clay and earthenware sewers beneath them. Blocked drains are the most common call we get in Canterbury — we run a CCTV camera to pinpoint the blockage, clear it with high-pressure jetting, and then give you an honest verdict on repair or relining.
These homes also hold onto their original fittings, so we're often re-plumbing heritage bathrooms, fitting new toilet suites, or replacing a tired hot water system. Our licensed local team knows how to work in Canterbury's period homes without cutting corners — with upfront pricing before we start.

Yes — it's the most common job we do in Canterbury. The suburb's big blocks and mature trees mean roots get into the old clay sewers. We send a CCTV camera down to locate the exact blockage, clear it with high-pressure jetting, and advise honestly on whether the pipe needs relining or a spot repair.
