There are no gimmicky names here - his name really is Robin and he now has Brendon, his son working with him for the heavier jobs.

I've had the pleasure of calling on Mr Red Robin for many years now - and it's really true what their ad says "Big enough to handle it, small enough to care". At my place of work he's fixed blocked toilets, repaired and replaced spouting, installed sinks and taps, installed a hot water service and countless other small tasks.

I was so impressed by him, that I used his services also at home on the "fun" job of digging up and replacing and repairing storm water drains. This is when dad Robin calls on his young and strong son Brendon for the digging and dirty work.

They had the old concrete and earthenware pipes removed and new plastic pipe bedded in a crushed rock base and all in a neatly covered over trench in no time.

A dependable family business who go "above and beyond" in customer service and has even waited to send in his account in holiday times etc, when he knew that finances were not very rosy.

They are busy but will usually come to look at the job and asses what is needed before returning when they actually say they will.

Highly regarded in this area of the Western suburbs of Melbourne.
