Plumber East Fremantle

East Fremantle WA 6158, Town of East Fremantle. About 13 km south-west of the Perth CBD.

East Fremantle is its own Town, about thirteen kilometres south-west of the Perth CBD, bounded to the north by the Swan River and crossed by both Canning Highway and Stirling Highway. Most of it was developed in the late 1890s and early 1900s during the gold rushes, with further building in the late 1940s and 1950s. For a plumber that means some of the oldest housing stock we work on, heritage constraints on what can be altered, and limestone under every excavation.

• Gold rush housing still in useAn East Fremantle house can be a hundred and twenty years old with drainage that has been patched rather than replaced through all of it. We camera the line before quoting because what is actually under one of these houses is rarely what anyone expects.
• Heritage constraints on what can changeA great deal of East Fremantle is heritage-protected, so you cannot simply run a new pipe wherever it suits. Replacing a hot water unit or renovating a bathroom here means finding a solution that leaves the fabric intact, which is a planning job as much as a plumbing one.
• Limestone under the groundExcavation here strikes limestone rather than sand, so a trench for a water line, a sewer repair or a soak well is slower work. We look at the block before pricing rather than quoting it like a suburban job.
• Narrow lots with services close togetherThe original subdivisions were tight, and water and sewer connections sit close to boundaries and neighbours. Locating before any excavation matters far more on a narrow East Fremantle lot than on a modern block.
