Are you looking for a Plumber in Melbourne? Go no further than Prime Plumbing & Gasfitting, your local experts in Plumbing and Gasfitting, hot water system installations, wood fireplace installations, water filter installations, and much much more!
We also offer additional services such as backflow prevention valves, blocked drain repairs, bidet installation and more, Melbourne Wide! If you would like to speak with us about your individual requirements, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Together we can find the best solution for your needs.
If it cannot wait, our emergency plumber in Melbourne handles burst pipes, blocked drains and no-hot-water callouts, and we carry out licensed gas leak detection if you can smell gas at your place.
Yes. Prime Plumbing & Gasfitting is licensed by the Building and Plumbing Commission, BPC #103414, founder Alister Williams, with a Type A gas fitting endorsement that covers domestic and commercial gas appliance work across Victoria. After notifiable plumbing or drainage work we issue a BPC Compliance Certificate; after gas appliance installation we issue a BPC Compliance Certificate. Both are documents your insurer or future buyer will ask for.
We service Melbourne’s south-east and inner-south suburbs as our regular run, and we travel further across greater Melbourne for specialist jobs (heritage plumbing, gas fireplace installation, hydronic heating). Our servicing suburbs page lists every suburb we attend regularly. If your suburb isn’t listed there, give us a call, we often cover further out for specialist work.
We work business hours (Mon-Fri 7-6, Sat 8-1) for general plumbing and gas work. For confirmed major emergencies, burst pipes flooding the property, strong gas smell, sewer overflowing inside the home, we provide best-effort after-hours response on a small-business basis. If there is active flooding or a gas smell right now, call 000 or your gas distributor first to make the property safe, then call us for the licensed repair work. We’re a small team, emergency calls go straight through, no call centre, and for non-urgent jobs (slow tap, planned hot water replacement, bathroom upgrade) we book in around your schedule.
Most jobs are fixed price. We give you a written quote before work begins, and we don’t change the price unless the job changes, which we tell you about first and only proceed with your written approval. Diagnosis is part of the call-out fee on most jobs, so we don’t run an hourly meter while we figure out what’s behind the wall. The written quote is what your insurer or strata manager references later if a claim ever comes up, so it’s worth getting one even on a small job.
Yes. Type A licensed gas fitting covers cooktop, oven, hot water, gas fireplace and gas heater installation across Melbourne. After every gas appliance install we issue a BPC Compliance Certificate, that’s the document your insurer, real-estate agent or new buyer will ask for. We service all the major brands.
