What we do

One plumber, the whole job.

Dunnydore is a small outfit, which means the person who quotes your job is the person who turns up and does it. Everything below is work we actually do around Bungendore week in, week out.

Talk it through

Blocked drains and sinks

Blocked sinks, blocked stormwater, drains choked by tree roots. One Bungendore customer called about council tree roots in their stormwater and it was cleared the same day.

Hot water systems

Repairs, replacements and new installs. Burst pipes on a water heater, no hot water on a rural block, right through to fitting a new system where the old one has given up.

Bathrooms, ensuites and laundries

Full renovation plumbing from first fix to final finish. Bathrooms, ensuites and laundries, working alongside your builder or renovator so the plumbing is never what holds the job up.

Gas fitting and changeovers

Gas work including disconnections and changeovers, such as taking out gas hot plates and capping the gas off so an electric unit can go in.

Water pumps and pressure

Pump repairs and pressure problems sorted. A common one out here: the pump is running but the pressure at the house has dropped away to nothing.

Water softeners and filtration

Water softener supply and installation, so the water coming out of your taps is easier on your kettle, your fittings and your skin.

Septic systems and trenching

New septic trenches and septic repairs, dug properly and backfilled neatly. A machine and a shovel, and the yard put back the way we found it.

Rural and acreage plumbing

Properties out of town are a different job to a suburban block. Long runs, tanks, pumps and septic are all normal here, not a special request.

Something a bit different

Labour only, if that suits you better.

Materials have gone up for everyone. So if you would rather buy your own fittings, your own tapware, your own hot water unit, that is completely fine by us. You supply the materials and we do the installation.

  • You supply materials
  • We provide expert installation
  • No markup on parts

Prefer us to supply everything instead? That is still how most jobs run. Just say which way you want it when you call.

On the job

Dug properly. Backfilled properly.

Most plumbing disappears underground the moment it is finished, so here is what it looks like while the trench is still open. Straight runs, clean edges, and the lawn and garden put back the way we found them.

The bloke who turns up

Dean Wheeler

Dean is the owner of Dunnydore Plumbing and the plumber who does the work. He has been serving Bungendore, Canberra and surrounds for 24 years, and Dunnydore has been a registered plumbing company here since 2002.

It is a father and son business, which is part of why the standard has stayed where it is. There is no call centre, no roster of subcontractors and no guessing who is going to pull up in the driveway. You ring the number on this page and you get Dean.

That also explains a fair bit about the reviews. People here keep using the words honest, reliable and neat, and one customer summed the whole thing up as "just what this town needs".

Called Dunnydore for a blocked sink and no hot water on our rural property. Dean was great, prompt and efficient, now everything is working like new. Fantastic to have a reliable local plumber. I highly recommend.

having just moved into Bungendore from up near the showground, there were a couple of plumbing jobs to be done at the new house. The gas hot plates were to be replaced with an electric unit and that required the gas being cut off, then a water softener to be installed. Both jobs were done by Dunnydore, in good time and couldn't have been better, thanks and I know where to call for any other jobs.

Where we work

Bungendore, Canberra and surrounds

Dunnydore is a mobile plumbing business, so we come to you. Town blocks, village houses and rural properties out past the bitumen are all normal work for us.

In town

Houses and units around Bungendore itself, including the newer estates. One customer had just moved in from up near the showground.

Out of town

Rural and acreage properties past the edge of the village, where tanks, pumps and septic are part of normal life.

Across to Canberra

Dunnydore has served Bungendore, Canberra and surrounds for 24 years, so a run into the ACT is nothing new.

Not sure whether you are in range? Give Dean a call on 0439 380 157 and he will tell you straight.
