Licensed, insured and answered 24/7/365. We are based at Grantham Farm, a short run up the road, so we are in Box Hill and The Gables most weeks, for anything from a failed pressure valve to a blocked line in a brand-new home.
Almost every home here is new, so the work is different: high mains pressure, pressure-limiting valves giving up early, flexi-hoses that were never done up properly, and builders' rubble in the drain line. We sort those, and everything that comes after them, for homes, managed properties and the townhouse blocks going up around the town centre. Prefer to talk? Call 0422 718 247.
Burst flexi-hose at midnight, no hot water before school, or the smell of gas. We answer, and we come out.
Emergency call-outsCooktops, ovens, heaters and BBQ points out to the alfresco, leak detection and certified compliance work.
Gas fittingThe instantaneous units and heat pumps fitted at handover are now old enough to play up. We repair and replace both.
Hot waterBuilders' rubble, sand and offcuts left in new lines, found with a camera and cleared with jet rodding.
Blocked drainsFlexi-hose replacements, laundry and kitchen fit-outs, and the small defects that surface after a season or two.
New-home plumbingHigh mains pressure, early pressure-limiting valve failures and rainwater tank pump changeovers, tested before we leave.
Pressure & pumpsTownhouse complexes, apartments over the town centre and local business, with documented work and photos.

Our Box Hill plumbing & gas services:
Why Box Hill locals call us
Box Hill is one of Sydney's fastest-growing release areas, still filling out with brand-new homes, and new streets bring their own plumbing quirks. Fenech Plumbing & Gas is a family-owned plumbing and gas business run by Peter Fenech, who has been in the trade since 2009 and licensed since 2014. We are based in Grantham Farm, a few minutes up the road, and a good share of our week is spent in Box Hill: The Gables, the estates off Terry Road and Mason Road, and the newer streets running toward Nelson and Box Hill town centre.
Almost every home here is new, which changes the kind of work we do. Instead of ageing pipework we are usually dealing with high mains pressure, pressure-limiting valves that have given up early, rainwater tank pumps, flexi-hoses that were never done up properly, and the small builder defects that surface once a house has been lived in for a season or two.
Whatever the job, we do the same thing first: look properly, then explain what we are repairing or replacing and why, in words that make sense. You get a free quote and a fixed price before any work starts, and we leave the place clean. Call 0422 718 247 and you will speak to us directly, any hour of any day, because plumbing emergencies don't wait.
All work is carried out to the relevant Australian Standards by a licensed plumber and gas fitter (Lic. 386 329C), fully insured.
Gas fitting & gas leak repairs in Box Hill
Plenty of Box Hill homes are plumbed for natural gas, and most of our gas work here is connections and compliance: cooktops and ovens, gas hot water units, heaters, and BBQ points run out to the alfresco. If you can smell gas, turn the meter off at the tap and ring us. We will trace the leak, repair it and certify the work. We also run gas for granny flats and renovations, and check appliances that were connected in a hurry at handover.
Hot water in a new Box Hill home
A lot of Box Hill houses were handed over with an instantaneous gas unit or a heat pump, and the earlier ones are now old enough to start playing up. We service, repair and replace gas, electric and solar hot water, and we will tell you honestly which way is the better value in your situation rather than defaulting to a new unit. See our hot water page for what is involved.
Blocked drains, leaks & burst pipes
New estates block up too. Builders' rubble, sand and offcuts left in the line are a common cause here, and it usually shows itself as a slow shower or a gurgle when the washing machine drains. We put a camera down, find the actual cause and clear it with high-pressure jet rodding rather than guessing. Hidden leaks, water bills that have jumped for no reason and running toilets are all worth a look before they get expensive. Our blocked drains and sewer & drainage pages have the detail.
Strata, commercial & managed properties
Box Hill is filling with townhouse complexes, apartments over the town centre and a lot of rented houses. For strata managers, agents and business owners we work as one accountable contact with documented work, photos and certificates so you are not chasing anyone. See our strata plumbing, commercial plumbing and property manager pages, and we look after the recurring compliance items too: backflow testing and TMV testing.

Yes. We are based just up the road in Grantham Farm and run a 24/7 emergency line on 0422 718 247 for burst pipes, gas leaks, blocked drains and no hot water across Box Hill (2765) and its new estates.
Yes. Box Hill is mostly brand-new, so we do a lot of gas cooktop and hot-water connections, laundry and kitchen fit-outs, leaking flexi-hose fixes and builder-defect repairs, all to Australian Standards.
Yes. The Gables is regular work for us, along with the estates off Terry Road, Mason Road and Old Pitt Town Road, and out toward Nelson. Newer streets often mean higher mains pressure, pressure-limiting valves, rainwater tank pumps and tight side setbacks, so we come with the gear those jobs actually need.
Often it is, and often it is a simple part that was never bedded down properly: a flexi-hose connection, a shower waste, a loose meter fitting or a poorly sealed gas appliance. We find the cause, explain in plain words what failed and why, and put what we found in writing so you can take it up with your builder if that is the right path. If you would rather we just fix it, we can do that too.
Yes. As Box Hill's town centre and new blocks grow, we offer one accountable contact for strata and commercial plumbing, including backflow and TMV testing for managed properties.
We service Box Hill, Nelson and the surrounding estates plus neighbouring Rouse Hill, Marsden Park and Riverstone - fast call-outs day or night.

Peter is great at what he does. He is very dependable and always comes as soon as he can. I’ll be continuing to use Fenech Plumbing & Gas Pty Ltd for any plumbing and gas work in our property.
We had Peter from Fenech Plumbing and Gas do our whole home filtration system and fix our fridge plumbing, and honestly he is the best plumber we have ever met and used. He’s not only highly skilled but also genuinely friendly and easy to deal with. We’ve never met a plumber like him before and from now on we’ll only be using him. Couldn’t recommend Peter and Fenech Plumbing and Gas more!
Highly recommended for all plumbing & gas leaking issues. Peter is a highly knowledgeable & experienced person and knows what he is doing & even advises us on how to deal with the issues. The one stop for all the plumbing issues and I would refer him to all my friends. 10 /10
