Month: May 2019

This year we are sponsoring Lea in the School Sport Australia Pacific School Games Softball Championship (“PSG”).

PSG is a multi-sport school competition for Australian and international students and will be held in Adelaide from 2nd – 8th December.

We are passionate about promoting an active healthy lifestyle so when we heard that Lea needed assistance raising funds to get to the games we jumped straight in to help !!!

Lea has been playing Softball since she was 12. She love’s softball because it’s both mentally challenging and physically demanding. Most importantly she adores the friendships she has made, her teammates have become her sisters and together they are making memories that last a lifetime.

Lea is currently concluding her final year of high school and eventually wants to pursue a path to obtain a PhD in Biomechanics, combining her passion for education, sport, medicine and writing ! (WOW)

We wish Lea all the best for the games. GOOD LUCK FROM THE TEAM AT PLAN B !!!

DID YOU KNOW THAT OUR BEST PLUMBER MELBOURNE SPECIALISE IN THE DISCONNECTION & RECONNECTION OF PLUMBING APPLIANCES?

If you’re moving into a new home, renovating an old home or have simply purchased a new plumbing appliance, we can help with disconnecting the old appliance and then reconnecting the new one.

If you’re looking to install a new hot water service, dishwasher, washing machine, laundry trough, kitchen sink, bathroom sink or toilet, it needs to be done right. The alternative is leaking water and eventually permanent water damage which can be very costly to repair.

We can also assist with disconnection and reconnection of gas appliances such as ovens, stoves and heaters.

We will ensure the job is done right the first time and installed to strict current day Australian Standards and Codes.

We will also quote you a fixed price so you don’t get stung at the end of the job with fees you didn’t expect, after all we are Plumbers not Bees 🙂

Contact us today to find out how we can help you with the installation of your new plumbing appliances.

You might also be interested in “CCTV Inspections at Abbotsford Convent Laundries“.

Plan B Plumbing Solutions was recently asked to undertake CCTV investigations at the historical landmark Abbotsford Convent Laundries.

Built in the 1880s by the original owners of the Convent, the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, the Laundries were staffed by women who lived onsite at the Magdalen Asylum. The Laundries were a source of income for the Sisters, and operated commercially up until 1975. The Laundries have remained largely unused since then, and are currently in a dilapidated state.

Once restored, these spaces will provide a multi-use arts space for Melbourne, while also generating new income for the Convent, helping to grow the Convent’s public programming, and to help secure its future long-term.

This project was very interesting from a plumbing perspective and we look forward to watching the progress of this restoration as it takes shape.
