LOCAL PLUMBERS

The plumber Kew's big old homes rely on

Kew is one of Melbourne's grand old inner-eastern suburbs — large Victorian and Edwardian homes on the hills above Studley Park and the Yarra, the busy Kew Junction shops, and the leafy family streets of Kew East. Doherty Plumbing has served the suburb for nearly 40 years.
Big older homes mean a lot of plumbing — multiple bathrooms, long pipe runs and decades-old connections — so when something lets go, it's rarely convenient. Burst pipes, failed hot water and blocked sewers are the calls we get most in Kew, and we're on call 24/7 to stop the damage fast, with an honest arrival time and an upfront price.
These homes are often on ageing hot water systems and original pipework that's due for attention. Whether it's a hot water replacement, a burst pipe, or a hidden leak somewhere in a rambling old house, our licensed local team knows Kew's homes — and we cover Kew and Kew East alike.

Yes. We're on call 24 hours a day for Kew emergencies — burst pipes, blocked sewers, gas issues and major leaks. Because we're local to the eastern suburbs, we can usually reach you quickly. Turn off the water at the meter if you can, then call us for a fast response and an honest arrival time.

Yes — hot water is one of our most common Kew jobs. We repair and replace gas, electric, solar and continuous-flow systems, working with all the major brands. If your unit has failed or is on its last legs, we can often supply and install a replacement the same day.

Yes. We service both Kew (3101) and Kew East (3102), from the Kew Junction end through to the family streets near the Eastern Freeway. Wherever you are across the two, we're a local call away for emergencies, repairs and maintenance.

Yes. Kew's large older homes are exactly where hidden leaks like to hide — under floors, behind walls or out in the yard. We use leak-detection equipment to trace the source without tearing the house apart, then repair it properly and check nothing else is at risk.

Yes. Alongside homes, we handle commercial plumbing for Kew's schools, offices and shops around Kew Junction and Cotham Road — drains, hot water, gas, taps and compliance. We work around your hours to keep disruption down and quote every job up front.

You'll get a fixed price for your Kew job before any work begins — no surprise invoices, even on an emergency call-out. As a guide, a blocked drain clear starts at $270 + GST and hot water repairs at $160 + GST; we'll confirm the exact figure once we've assessed the job.
