I cannot recommend Guardian Plumbing and Scottie highly enough.

I called in an absolute panic after my kitchen tap came off and my living space started flooding badly. I’m not sure exactly how much water came out, but it felt like hundreds of litres, probably more. I was literally splashing through my own lounge room when I called.

He arrived so quickly, within about 15 minutes, and was immediately calm, kind and solution-focused. The first thing he did was tell me to take a deep breath, which honestly helped more than he probably realised. He turned the water off, brought in a water vacuum, replaced the tap, cleaned up what he could, even mopping the floor while I slowly put everything back in its place, and he gave practical advice on how to manage the remaining clean-up, including dehumidifiers and next steps.

On top of being clearly excellent at what he does, he was genuinely lovely, funny, personable and reassuring at a time when I was very much not having the best day.

An absolute lifesaver. Thank you so much.
Response from the owner:Hi Laura Jane,

Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! We are thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Scottie during such a stressful situation. It's heartwarming to know that he was not only able to fix the issue promptly but also provide a comforting presence during a difficult time. If you ever need any assistance in the future, remember that Guardian Plumbing is always here to help. Take care and don't hesitate to reach out for any plumbing needs.

Warm regards,

I recently had my hot water system repaired and couldn’t be happier with the service.

From the moment Scotty arrived, he was professional, punctual, and clearly knew exactly what he was doing.

What really stood out was his honesty. He took the time to explain what the problem was.

The work itself was excellent. He had the right parts, got the job done efficiently, and hot water was back up and running the same day.

I’d recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing a reliable, trustworthy plumber. He’s earned a customer for life!

I wish I could give Scott more stars!!!
Absolute legend!!!
I’m at the top of an old 60’s block of apartments. I struggled with really poor water pressure for years. After many other plumbers either over quoted or couldn’t figure out the problem, I had given up in frustration. I’m so glad I tried one more time and got in contact with Guardian. Straight away Scott understood exactly what the problem was and how to fix it. He found a solution that was smart, efficient and saved my bathroom from any damage. He fixed a problem that’s been driving me crazy for years, and in just a day!!! I can’t recommend him enough. He has a great deal of knowledge and experience. If you’re looking for an honest reliable plumber who really knows their stuff, trust me call these guys!!!
Response from the owner:Hi Vanessa Molnar,

Blocked Drains

Blocked Drains

Blocked or slow drains in Balwyn often come from mature garden roots attacking ageing clay pipes, plus shared stacks in Whitehorse Road apartments. Scott Berkefeld uses CCTV drain cameras and high-pressure jetting to pinpoint causes and stop repeat blockages, guarding you from sewage backups and costly dig-ups. We cover Balwyn and Camberwell.

  • Tree roots in old clay pipes – leafy Balwyn gardens crack joints and choke sewers.

  • Cafe and restaurant grease build-up – Whitehorse Road kitchens clog lines with fats.
