Electrical, Plumbing, Roofing & Gutters In Melbourne’s Inner West

Request a Quote

Suburbs like Yarraville, Seddon, Footscray, and Newport have been attracting buyers for years.

People are drawn to the Victorian workers’ cottages, the character streetscapes, and the proximity to the city. A lot of these homes are beautiful, but their age means original wiring, galvanised pipes, and roofing that hasn’t been properly looked at since the 1960s.

This is work that needs someone who knows what they’re dealing with.

O’Shea Trades has been working across Melbourne since 1978, and we know these homes well.

Trade Services We Provide Across Melbourne’s Inner West

Electrical

Many older homes in the inner west are still running original or outdated switchboards. We upgrade electrical systems to current standards, add circuits and power points for modern living, carry out lighting upgrades, and handle the two-yearly electrical safety checks required for Victorian rental properties.

Plumbing

We replace ageing galvanised pipework, clear blocked and tree-root-affected drains, fix hot water systems, and handle everything from a leaking tap to a full bathroom renovation. On the tighter blocks common across Yarraville and Seddon, access can be a challenge – it’s something we plan for before we start.

Roof Restorations

Whether it’s corrugated iron on a workers’ cottage or terracotta tiles on a larger Edwardian home, we carry out full roof restorations – cleaning, re-bedding, re-pointing, repairing, and repainting – to get older roofs back to a solid, watertight condition.

Gutter Restorations

Old rusted gutters, failing brackets, and blocked downpipes are among the most common jobs we attend to. We restore and replace full gutter systems so they’re actually doing their job when the rain comes.

WHY Work with O’Shea Trades?

We cover all four trades

Electrical, plumbing, roofing, and gutters – all under one roof. If you’re renovating a workers’ cottage in Yarraville and need an electrician and a plumber on the same job, you’re making one call, not several. Fewer scheduling headaches, no contractors blaming each other, and a consistent standard throughout.

We’ve been at this since 1978

When we come across original wiring in a Seddon terrace or corroded galvanised pipes in a Footscray post-war home, we know what we’re looking at and what needs to happen next.

Licensed and qualified across every trade

Every job is carried out by licensed, qualified tradespeople – not labourers or subcontractors we’ve never worked with before. And all our work is backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty, so if something isn’t right, we’ll fix it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on workers’ cottages in the inner west?

Yes, and it’s a big part of what we do out here. These homes are full of character, but they often have original wiring, galvanised pipes, and roofing that’s been largely untouched for decades. We’ll always assess the property before quoting so you get an accurate price and the right approach for your home.

Our block is quite tight. Does that cause problems?

It’s something we come across regularly in the inner west. Narrow side access, shared fences, and limited roof clearance are all part of working on workers’ cottages and terrace-style homes. We factor it in from the start rather than working it out on the day.

Do you service rental properties in the inner west?

Yes. We work with landlords and property managers across Footscray, Sunshine, Yarraville, and surrounding areas. We’re familiar with Victorian rental compliance requirements, including two-yearly electrical safety checks and smoke alarm obligations.

Do you handle emergency callouts in the inner west?

Yes. We’re available seven days a week, including after-hours, for urgent plumbing and electrical issues. Call us on (03) 9900 1010 and we’ll get someone to you as quickly as we can.
