Square, sealed, finished.
Blocked drains, dead hot water, burst pipes, gas. Inner-north and inner-east Melbourne, seven days, with a fixed price before a single fitting moves.
Pick what's happening to see how fast we move — or just call the number below.
First, kill the water. Turn the mains tap off at the meter — usually street-side, front boundary. Then call us.
We isolate the line, find where it actually failed, and fix the cause — slab leak, perished joint, split copper — not just mop the puddle. You get the failure point shown to you before we repair it.
You're likely not without it for long. Gas, electric, or heat-pump — tell us the brand on the unit if you can see it.
We repair where it's worth repairing and swap where it isn't. We carry common units for a same-day replacement, so it's not a week of cold showers waiting on a part.
Stop using the fixtures that back up and we'll get to you fast.
We put a camera down the line and find the real blockage — roots, grease, a collapse — then clear it with a high-pressure jetter rather than a guess. You see the footage before and after.
If you can smell gas: turn it off at the meter, open windows, no switches or flames, get outside, then call.
Licensed gas work only. We leak-test, carbon-monoxide test, repair the fault, and leave you a compliance certificate — cooktops, heaters, hot water, the lot.
Beyond the emergency · Step 02
We camera the line, find the actual blockage, and clear it with a jetter rather than a guess. You see the footage before and after.
Repair or replace gas, electric, and heat-pump systems. Same-day swap on common units so you're not cold-showering for a week.
Burst pipes, slab leaks, and the slow drip rotting a cupboard out. We isolate, locate, and fix the cause, not just the puddle.
Licensed gas work: cooktops, heaters, hot water, and leak testing. We carbon-monoxide test and leave you a compliance certificate.
Full rough-in to fit-off, waterproofing and all. We work to the tiler and the cabinetmaker's dates, not against them.
The small list that never gets done: running toilets, dripping taps, dodgy mixers. Booked, fixed, off your plate in one visit.

There's no Hartley & Vane. We're Maison Turco, a Melbourne web studio, and we built this fictional plumber to show what a trade website looks like when it's made like the work itself: measured, square, finished. Every drain, certificate, and warranty line on this page is invented. The craft of the page is not.
If you run a real plumbing and gasfitting business, this is the site you could be sending people to. Same grid, same calm, your name, your jobs, your numbers. Leave your details and we'll build you a one-page concept on the house, so you can see your own trade dressed like this before you decide anything.
