Who We Are?

Ivy Street Plumbing, established in 2013, is founded on the extensive and invaluable experience of working alongside my father at the former ‘Fallon & Sons’ family plumbing business for more than 20 years. The ‘Fallon’ referred to my grandfather and the ‘Sons’ referred to my father Robert and my two uncles Paul and Peter – hence how Fallon & Sons came to be.

My grandfather, and his brother George, first began plumbing in 1946 after returning from 5 years of war. Return servicemen were subsidised for learning a trade. After learning their new post-war trade, my grandfather and his brother worked as plumbers for their entire working career, with Great Uncle George retiring in the early 1990s and my grandfather retiring in 2003 at 81 years of age. Their father was also a tradesman – a qualified electrician.

Fallon & Sons Pty Ltd, with whom I spent the majority of my working career, was managed by my parents since the mid-eighties, with my mother running the office and my father running the plumbing operations.  I worked for Fallon & Sons since 1989 and over the years, the other ‘sons’ of Fallon & Sons branched out into their own plumbing businesses – Fallon Plumbing (owned by my uncle, Paul Fallon) and P M Fallon Plumbing (owned by my other uncle, Peter) respectively.

I am really enjoying following in my father, uncle and grandfather’s footsteps through Ivy Street Plumbing and will continue to maintain the core old fashioned values of trustworthiness, honesty, and personalised customer service within the context of the modern strata, commercial and residential management environment.
