Fremantle is one of Perth's most distinctive suburbs — a historic port city with heritage-listed character homes clustered around the West End and surrounding streets. Many of these older properties still run hot water systems and pipework that are decades old, tucked into tight verandah spaces or laundries never designed for modern units. Replacing a system in a heritage home takes a bit more care than a standard new-build install, and it pays to have a plumber who understands that from the first phone call.
Gecko Plumbing is based in Perth's northern suburbs, so we're upfront with Fremantle customers about timing: we can often arrange same-day hot water replacement where possible, depending on the day's schedule and your exact location, rather than an unconditional same-day guarantee. What you always get is a straight answer on availability the moment you call.
Whether your gas storage hot water system has started leaking, your electric water heater has stopped heating, or you're weighing up a switch to a continuous flow unit for a renovated Fremantle cottage, Gecko Plumbing will explain the options in plain language and give you a fixed quote before any work starts.
System types we replace
Fremantle homes range from original character cottages to newer infill builds, so the right replacement system varies from property to property. Here's what we can help with:
