A reliable, compliant maintenance plumber for education sites across Berwick and the South East — low fuss, low disruption.
Schools and childcare centres need a plumber who turns up, gets the job done quietly and keeps the site compliant — not a different tradie each time who needs the whole place explained again. Over the years Borza Plumbing has built long-term relationships with multiple schools and centres across Melbourne's South East, and that's the way we like to work: become the one number you ring, learn your site, and keep on top of things before they become a problem.
From a blocked drain in the toilet block before assembly, to a tap that won't stop running in a kinder room, to annual backflow testing and gas appliance checks, we cover the day-to-day plumbing that keeps a busy education site running. And because we know how packed your week is, we work around your timetable — not the other way around.
Working around kids and timetables
Plumbing on a live school or childcare site is as much about how the work is done as what's done. We sign in at the office, keep to designated areas, and make sure tools, trenches and wet floors stay well away from where children are. Noisy or disruptive jobs can be scheduled for after hours, early mornings or the school holidays, and in childcare we work in carefully around rest times and group rooms so the day rolls on as normal.
What we cover for schools & centres
- Routine maintenance — taps, toilets, troughs and hand basins kept in order
- Blocked drains cleared in toilet blocks, kitchens and sick bays
- Hot water repairs and replacement for change rooms and kitchens
- Leaks & burst pipes found and fixed before they damage floors and walls
- Backflow prevention — device installation, annual testing & certificates
- Gas safety checks for heaters, hot water and kitchen appliances
- Tempering valves set to safe temperatures for little hands
- Planned upgrades staged across school holidays to suit your budget
Compliance that keeps your records straight
Education sites carry obligations a home never does. Here's the plumbing side we help you stay on top of.
| Obligation | What it involves | How we help |
|---|---|---|
| Backflow testing | Testable backflow devices need testing every 12 months | We test, certify and lodge so your records stay current |
| Gas safety | Heaters, hot water & kitchen gas appliances checked for safe operation | Licensed gas checks with a clear written report |
| Hot water tempering | Hot water delivered at a safe temperature in child areas | Tempering valves supplied, set and replaced to code |
| Drainage & hygiene | Toilet blocks and kitchens kept clear and flowing | Drain clearing and preventative checks on a schedule |

Can you work around school hours and naptimes?
Yes. We plan jobs around your timetable — early starts, after hours, school holidays or quiet windows during the day. For childcare centres we work in carefully around rest times and group rooms so the children and staff are barely interrupted.
Do you handle backflow and gas compliance for our site?
We do. Schools and childcare centres carry annual backflow testing and gas safety obligations, and we can install, test and certify backflow devices and check gas appliances so your records stay current and your site stays compliant.
Are you set up to work on school grounds?
Borza Plumbing is licensed and insured and used to working on education sites — signing in at the office, staying within designated areas, and keeping tools and trenches safely away from children. Steve is happy to talk through your site requirements before we start.
Can you set up an ongoing maintenance arrangement?
Absolutely. Many schools and centres prefer one trusted plumber on call rather than a different name each time. We can set up a simple ongoing arrangement so you have one number to ring for leaks, blocked drains, hot water and routine checks.
One number for all your site's plumbing.
