Recent plumbing work in Altona
Mixer tap replacement
The flexi hose for this mixer tap burst, causing a flood in the kitchen. Luckily the owners were in and able to turn the water off quickly. We replaced the tap and hoses with quality components to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Keeping the house stumps healthy
New stormwater drainage pipework was laid with drainage outlets pre concrete to stop water from running under those fresh new stumps.

No flowing water to see here! If your drains are struggling to keep up with the rain they could very well look the same as this! Get in touch today and see how we can help to get the water flowing again.
Emergency plumber Altona - 24/7 coastal plumbing services
When your pipes decide to cause chaos at 2am or your drains back up just before the weekend in Altona, you need a plumber who actually knows coastal areas and will show up. That's us. We're local to the western suburbs, we understand how salt air and coastal conditions affect your plumbing, and we're not going to leave you hanging when things go wrong.
We've been working around Altona and the coastal suburbs long enough to know exactly what goes wrong and why. Whether it's blocked drains from the beautiful established trees near the bay, burst pipes, or your hot water deciding to pack it in during winter, we've seen it all before in coastal environments and we know how to fix it properly.
When you need emergency help fast
When we say emergency plumber Altona, we mean it. Burst pipes flooding your kitchen? Gas leak that's got you worried? Hot water system died completely? These are genuine emergencies.
Thing is, we're realistic about response times in the western suburbs. Anyone promising 30 minutes probably doesn't understand Melbourne traffic or how far they might be when you call. We aim for same day service for urgent problems, usually within a couple of hours depending on where we are and what's happening around the area.
We always carry proper equipment in the van because there's nothing worse than showing up and having to go get parts while your house is flooding. Most emergency repairs we can sort on the first visit, using materials that work well in coastal conditions.
After hours when nobody else wants to know
Plumbing emergencies in Altona are like that - they happen when it's least convenient. Sunday morning, middle of the night, public holidays. Especially when you get those wild coastal storms. We're available because that's when people actually need help.
If your toilet's backing up into the house or you've got water pouring through the ceiling, that's an emergency. If your tap's dripping a bit and has been for weeks, well, that can probably wait until normal hours.
Salt air and coastal vegetation challenges
In Altona and around Williamstown, Newport, through the coastal western suburbs really, we deal with unique drainage challenges. Those beautiful established coastal trees have root systems that are incredibly persistent, and salt air affects pipe materials differently than inland areas.
We use proper high-pressure jetting gear and CCTV cameras so we can show you exactly what's happening down there. Sometimes it's just a basic blockage we can clear quickly. Other times those coastal roots have been growing for years, or salt air has affected pipe joints, and you're looking at more comprehensive work.
Either way, we'll explain what we've found and what your options are. No point sugar-coating it or trying to sell you something that won't work in coastal conditions.
Everything from kitchen sinks to stormwater
Blocked drains in coastal areas come with extra challenges. Kitchen sinks backing up from grease buildup, shower drains running slow, toilets that won't flush properly, or the big one where everything in the house starts backing up during heavy coastal weather.
Got equipment for all of it. Basic blockages we can usually clear with standard tools. Stubborn ones need the high-pressure jetter. Really serious coastal blockages might need the full CCTV inspection to work out what salt air conditions have done to your pipes.
Licensed gas fitters
As licensed gas fitters, we handle hot water repairs and new installations safely in coastal environments. Gas work isn't something you mess around with anywhere, but coastal areas need extra consideration for corrosion resistance.
Whether your hot water system needs a quick repair or it's time for a complete replacement, we work with all the major brands. Can advise on what's going to work best for your coastal situation and budget without trying to oversell you on features that don't suit marine environments.
Emergency hot water repairs get priority because nobody wants cold showers, especially when you're dealing with bayside breezes.
Maintenance that actually prevents problems
Regular maintenance in coastal areas is particularly important because salt air affects everything over time. We can service your hot water system, check gas lines for corrosion, and spot potential problems before they turn into expensive emergencies.
New installations are done to current standards with proper warranties, using materials that handle bayside conditions well. No shortcuts, no dodgy work that'll come back to bite you when the next storm hits.
Why choose local experience
Working in Altona and the coastal western suburbs means understanding what goes wrong around here and why. Know how salt air affects different materials, understand the mix of older coastal homes and newer developments near the bay, and we've dealt with pretty much every infrastructure challenge this part of Melbourne's coast can throw at us.
This coastal knowledge helps us diagnose problems faster and provide better solutions suited to marine environments. We're not learning about your area on your time and your dollar.
We'll explain what's wrong in plain English, give you clear pricing before starting any work, and we won't pressure you into services you don't need. If something can wait, we'll tell you. If it needs immediate attention we'll explain why.
For emergency plumbing in Altona, routine coastal maintenance, or new installations that handle marine environments properly, give us a call. Available 24/7 for genuine emergencies and we provide honest, professional service to keep your coastal plumbing working properly.

Nathan was an absolute life saver! Responded and came quickly to a late night job and worked hard to identify and fix the problem! He documented and explained everything that he was doing as well as being super friendly. He did an excellent job and went above and beyond. I can’t recommend him enough!!
Nathan is actually a god send!! He rocked up to our place at 10pm at night, work his butt off then came back to our place at 12pm the next day and continued to work his butt off to get the new pump up and running. He has excellent communication and thoroughly documented everything he did and recommends to ensure this doesn’t happen again. He is my top top top plumber recommendation in the area. If you have any problems he will be there day or night!!
We have used Nathan now for a number of jobs on our properties, and in all cases (especially those emergency call outs) Nathan was prompt, professional and always on top of what was required to get the job done. He is also very knowledgeable on spotting issues that may come up later down the track and ensuring you are aware of any potential problems and how to look out for them. Highly recommended for all your plumbing needs
Nathan from After Hours Plumbing is excellent. I have used him both privately and also engaged him as recommended plumber to all our landlords. He is efficient, professional and prompt at attending.
Twice we had Nath Schofield to do our projects. One to fit an outdoor sink for my outdor kitchen and next to fix the irrigation system for our garden. He did an amazing job and I highly recommend his services to anyone. He is very professional, knowledgeable and you will be very happy & contented with his neat work.

His customer service was top-notch, he kept me informed every step of the way, explaining the process and ensuring I understood what needed to be done. Not only did he fix the pipe leakage with diligence and great attention to quality, but he also helped me with my kitchen tap while he was here and resolved it on the spot!
