Tom started Kestrel after twelve years working for the big franchises, where customers never saw the same face twice. Now it's a small local team, and Tom still answers the phone himself most days.

★★★★★

"Hot water died on a Sunday night. Got a text back within a minute of calling, new system in by lunchtime Monday. Price was exactly what Tom quoted."

Emma W.Frankston South
★★★★★

"They sent me the camera footage of the drain so I could see the tree root for myself. No upselling, just fixed it and cleaned up."

Mark D.Mornington
★★★★★

"Used them for our whole bathroom reno. Turned up every day they said they would and worked around the tiler without any fuss."

Questions

Things people ask us

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. We give you a fixed price before any work starts and that's what you pay. After-hours emergencies have a flat rate we'll tell you on the phone first.

Can you quote from a photo?

Often, yes. Text us a photo of the problem (or the label on your hot water system) and we can usually give you a price before we arrive.

How quickly can you replace a hot water system?

Usually the same day. We carry the most common gas, electric and heat pump models, and we take the old unit away.

Are you licensed for gas?

Yes. We're licensed plumbers and gasfitters, fully insured, and every gas job comes with a compliance certificate.
