Electrical, Plumbing, Roofing & Gutters In Melbourne’s Southern Suburbs

Request a Quote

Melbourne’s southern suburbs stretch from the foreshore streets of St Kilda and Elwood through to Brighton, Sandringham, Cheltenham, and Mentone. It’s a mix of Art Deco flats, Victorian homes, and post-war brick – and most of it sits close to Port Phillip Bay.

That proximity matters. Salt air does things to roofing, gutters, and older plumbing that inland suburbs don’t have to deal with. It’s worth knowing before any trade work starts.

O’Shea Trades has been working across Melbourne since 1978. The southern suburbs have always been part of our regular work, and we’re familiar with the property types and what they typically need.

Trade Services We Provide Across Melbourne’s Southern Suburbs

Electrical

Many homes in the inner south are still running original or outdated switchboards with no safety switches. We upgrade electrical systems to current standards, add circuits and power points, carry out lighting upgrades, and handle the two-yearly electrical safety checks required for Victorian rental properties.

Plumbing

Older homes throughout the south commonly have galvanised steel pipes that are well past their best. We replace old pipework, clear blocked and tree-root-affected drains, fix hot water systems, and handle everything from a dripping tap to a full bathroom renovation.

Roof Restorations

Terracotta tile roofs are common across Brighton, Sandringham, and much of the middle south. We carry out full restorations – cleaning, re-bedding, re-pointing, repainting, and targeted repairs – to extend the life of an older roof before small problems become expensive ones.

Gutter Restorations

Old rusted gutters, sagging brackets, and blocked downpipes are among the most common jobs we do in the south. We restore and replace full gutter systems so they’re ready to handle whatever Melbourne’s weather brings.

WHY Work With O’Shea Trades?

We cover all four trades

Electrical, plumbing, roofing, and gutters – all under one roof. If you’re renovating in Brighton 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 an Elwood Art Deco flat or corroded galvanised pipes in a Cheltenham 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 older homes in the southern suburbs?

Yes, and it’s the majority of what we do down here. Homes in the inner south and bayside suburbs often have original wiring, galvanised pipes, or older roofing that needs careful handling. We’ll always assess the property before quoting so you get an accurate price and the right approach.

I have an Art Deco flat in Elwood or St Kilda – is that more complicated?

Not if you’re working with someone who knows what they’re looking at. Buildings from this era often have electrical and plumbing systems that have been added to over the decades rather than properly upgraded. We’ll assess what’s there and explain exactly what you’re dealing with before we start.

We’re renovating in Brighton. Can you manage multiple trades?

That’s one of the practical reasons people come to us. Because we cover electrical, plumbing, roofing, and gutters, we can plan and schedule everything without you needing to manage separate contractors. One call, one point of contact throughout.

Do you handle emergency callouts in the southern suburbs?

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.
