About us

Plumbing should be pretty straightforward

At Vicinity Plumbing, we believe plumbing should be pretty straightforward. You call a plumber, they turn up when they say they will, tell you what’s actually going on, give you honest advice and do the job properly. No unnecessary upselling, no confusing jargon and no high-pressure sales tactics.

That’s exactly why Jake started Vicinity Plumbing.

After more than 10 years working in the plumbing industry for other companies, Jake decided it was time to do things his own way. He wanted to work independently, take pride in the work he does and, most importantly, provide the level of service he believes customers deserve.

Today, Vicinity Plumbing is an owner-operated business, which means Jake is still the person you’ll deal with and the person doing the work. There’s no big team of salespeople or layers of management between you and your plumber. You get a friendly, experienced professional who takes the time to understand the problem and explain your options.

Honest advice, without the hard sell

We know that calling a plumber can sometimes feel like a bit of a gamble. You want to know that the person turning up knows what they’re doing and that you’re not going to be talked into work you don’t actually need.

Jake takes a different approach. The goal is to find the right solution for the job, not the most expensive one. He’ll explain what needs to be done, why it needs doing and what your options are, so you can make an informed decision.

We also believe in being upfront about pricing. Where possible, Jake can indicate costs, particularly if photos give him a good idea of what’s involved. However, plumbing jobs can vary considerably once you see what’s actually happening, so he prefers to inspect the job before committing to a price rather than giving you a figure that sounds good but may not be realistic.

Experience you can rely on

With more than 10 years of plumbing experience, Jake has the knowledge and practical experience to tackle plumbing problems properly. He holds Certificate III and Certificate IV in Plumbing and is a fully licensed and insured plumbing contractor, with approximately $20 million in public liability insurance.

Just as importantly, Vicinity Plumbing has built a strong reputation with customers, reflected in the many positive reviews on our Google Business Profile.

At the end of the day, Vicinity Plumbing is about keeping things simple: good workmanship, honest advice, fair pricing and treating customers the way we’d want to be treated ourselves.
