Chadstone is one of the older Monash pockets — a lot of 1950s brick homes still have their original galvanised roof drainage feeding undersized stormwater.

John Oldfield and the J.O. Plumbing team have been fixing plumbing problems across Monash for years. We know Chadstone — the streets around Chadstone Shopping Centre, the 1950s brick homes and modern townhouses, and the issues that come with them.
The original 75mm galv stormwater lines around 3148 simply cannot cope with modern Melbourne summer downpours. We upgrade them to 90mm or 100mm PVC, and add overflow relief gullies where the council requires.
Local tip: If your Chadstone gutters overflow even when they're clean, it's not the gutter — it's the downpipe and underground drain undersized for the catchment.
Flat $55 weekday call-out, $275 after-hours — no surcharge on parts or hourly rate at night or on weekends. Every job is quoted in writing before we start, and the price we quote is the price you pay.
Because we run a local team across Monash, when we're booked into Chadstone we're often only a few minutes from a job in the next suburb over. That means faster response times and the same fixed-price quoting wherever you are.
