Our general plumbing services cover installations, maintenance, and repairs for residential and commercial properties. With licensed professionals handling everything from minor leaks to complete system overhauls, we ensure reliable solutions that meet Australian standards. Our proactive approach identifies potential issues before they escalate, protecting your property from water damage while maintaining optimal functionality across all plumbing systems.
Blocked Drains
Specialist drain clearing services utilise advanced tools to resolve blockages in stormwater and sewer pipes. Our technicians employ camera inspections and high-pressure cleaning to restore proper water flow, preventing property damage from backups. Regular maintenance plans help prevent recurring issues, ensuring efficient drainage systems for both residential and commercial clients across Melbourne's Eastern suburbs.
Hot Water Systems
Hot water system solutions include installation, repair, and servicing of storage, continuous flow, and solar-powered units. Our experts recommend energy-efficient options to reduce utility costs while ensuring consistent hot water supply. Emergency repairs address sudden failures, and regular maintenance extends system lifespan, maintaining safety and performance standards for residential and commercial properties.
Gas Fitting
Licensed gas fitting services cover installations, safety checks, and repairs for natural gas and LPG systems. We service appliances, install new connections, and perform leak detection using specialised equipment. Compliance with safety regulations ensures secure gas supply for heating, cooking, and hot water systems in residential and commercial settings across Melbourne's Eastern suburbs.

Excellent service from the Doherty Plumbing team: everything from their administration down through to the plumber (Tim). Great communication so I knew exactly where I stood (the job & the costs); compared to previous plumbers, Tim took the time to fully work out the layout of the drain system so that a thorough job was done. Thank you!
