Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. A gas leak is one of the most urgent jobs a plumber will see. If you can smell gas inside the house, get everyone outside, don't switch anything on or off, and call Newton on +61 414 951 362. If the leak is severe, call the gas network faults line on 132 691 first.

  • Newton takes calls seven days a week, 8am to 6pm. After hours, leave a message and you'll get a call back as soon as possible. For life-safety emergencies, always call 000 first.

  • No call-out fee for a quote. Newton will discuss the job on the phone and quote it before any work starts. You'll know the price before he gets to work.

  • Newton's catchment is Melbourne's eastern suburbs — Box Hill, Burwood, Glen Iris, Blackburn, Mitcham, Glen Waverley, Mount Waverley, Forest Hill, Vermont, Surrey Hills, Camberwell, Balwyn, Doncaster, Ashburton, and Ashwood. Just outside these areas, call and ask.

  • It depends. A leaking hot water unit, water pooling near the unit, or a smell of gas around it should be treated as urgent. No hot water in winter with kids in the house is also worth calling about the same day. Newton will tell you honestly how quickly it needs attention.

  • Newton handles gas cooktops, ovens, BBQ connections, hot water systems, ducted heating, space heaters, and gas log fires. For specialist commercial gas work, he'll point you to someone who handles it.

  • Yes. Newton is a licensed plumber and licensed gas fitter (licence #107733) and fully insured.
