The short answer
Yes, McDermott Plumbing works Malaga. Most calls are commercial: warehouse amenities, trade workshops, showrooms and small offices — burst pipes, blocked drains, hot water and licensed gas fitting. We’re based in Ellenbrook, so Malaga is a local run, not a cross-metro add-on. Emergency calls taken 24/7. Call (08) 6187 3999 or text 0406 882 648.
Why Malaga is local for us
Malaga sits between Ballajura, Beechboro and the Reid Highway industrial belt — roughly a fifteen-minute run from Ellenbrook when traffic behaves. We already work Bennett Springs, Ballajura and Cullacabardee next door, so a Malaga call-out fits the same diary. Tell us the unit number, complex name and any after-hours access code when you ring.
What plumbing looks like in Malaga
Malaga is one of Perth’s main light-industrial suburbs. Streets are full of warehouses, smash repairs, trade suppliers and small manufacturers rather than family homes. That changes the jobs:
- Amenities blocks and staff toilets that back up after years of paper, wipes and kitchen grease from lunchrooms.
- Hot water units serving wash-down sinks, tea rooms and bathrooms — often commercial-grade or continuous flow, mounted in plant rooms or on exterior walls.
- After-hours bursts on copper or poly in ceiling spaces and plant rooms, where water can hit stock, electrics or a neighbour’s tenancy before anyone notices.
- Gas work on cooktops in staff kitchens, radiant heaters in workshops, and hot water — licensed gas fitting only, with isolation and testing before we leave.
- Landlord and managing-agent jobs across multi-unit complexes, where we need clear instructions on who approves the spend and who gets the invoice.
Access, after-hours and who pays
Many Malaga sites are locked outside business hours. If you need us after dark or on a weekend, organise keys, an alarm code or someone on site before we roll. For strata or multi-tenant complexes, confirm whether the leak is inside your tenancy or in a shared service so we invoice the right party.
Blocked drains on a commercial site are still usually the occupier or owner’s responsibility up to the Water Corporation connection. If sewage is overflowing, call Water Corporation on 13 13 75 as well.

Common questions
- Do you only do commercial work in Malaga?
- Most Malaga jobs are commercial or industrial units, and that’s our main focus here. If you have a house on the residential fringe, we can still help — call (08) 6187 3999 with the address.
- How close is Malaga to your Ellenbrook base?
- Malaga is a short run from Ellenbrook via the north-east corridor. For emergencies we still give a real ETA on the phone, because it depends where the van is when you call.
- Can you attend a Malaga warehouse after hours?
- Yes, we take emergency calls 24/7. Make sure someone can get us through the gate or roller door, or leave clear access instructions. Without access we can’t fix the leak.
- Do you invoice the tenant or the landlord?
- Whichever party books and authorises the work. Say upfront if you’re the tenant, landlord or managing agent, and who should receive the invoice and report.
- Do you do gas fitting in Malaga workshops?
- Yes, licensed gas fitting for appliances and hot water we can safely work on. If you smell gas, evacuate, avoid switches and phones near the smell, and call ATCO on 13 13 52 first.
