As a licensed plumber serving Canberra and surrounding suburbs, we take pride in showing up on time, keeping your home clean, and getting the job done right the first time.
We’re not a large franchise. We’re a small, owner-operated plumbing business that cares about its reputation in the local community. Here’s what that means for you:
No subcontractors, no rotating roster of unfamiliar tradies. When you book JM Plumbing, Josh or a key member of our JM Plumbing team turns up — the same person who quoted the job is the one doing the work, start to finish.
You’ll always know what’s happening and why. Josh explains the problem in plain English, talks you through your options before any work starts, and keeps you updated if anything changes along the way.
Josh & the team show up on time, treats your home like his own. We’ll leave the site cleaner than we found it. No mess, no mystery — just professional work done right.
Upfront, transparent quotes with no hidden surprises on the invoice. Every job is backed by a workmanship guarantee, so you can trust it’s done properly the first time.
From small repairs to full plumbing installations, JM Plumbing handles all aspects of residential plumbing in Canberra. Here’s what we can help you with:
A dripping tap or running toilet might seem minor, but left unattended it wastes water and drives up your bills. We fix leaking taps, faulty ball valves, running cisterns, burst pipes, and any general plumbing issues around your home — quickly and affordably
Slow drains and blocked pipes are one of the most common home plumbing problems we see across Canberra. We clear blocked kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, and outdoor drainage using high-pressure jetting and drain inspection cameras to find the root cause — not just the symptoms.
Planning a bathroom renovation or just need a new shower installed? We handle all plumbing requirements for bathrooms — shower rough-ins, toilet replacements, vanity connections, bath installations, and waterproofing. We work with your builder or tiler to keep the project on schedule.
From sink replacements and dishwasher connections to new appliance hook-ups and tap upgrades, we take care of all kitchen plumbing. We also handle gas appliance connections where required.
No hot water is ever convenient. JM Plumbing supplies, installs, and repairs all major hot water system brands — electric, gas, and solar. Buildup inside your hot water system can lead to dirty water which can cause a number of health issues. Whether your existing system needs repairs or it’s time for a replacement, we’ll have you back in hot water fast.
Renovating your home? Plumbing is one of the few trades where errors are costly to fix after the fact. JM Plumbing works with Canberra homeowners from the planning stage through to final fitoff, ensuring all rough-in work is done correctly and compliant.
