Family-Owned. Independent. Canberra Locals.
I’m Andrew Skipper, the Owner and Master Problem Solver of Canberra Plumbing & Drains.
My wife and family and I have been running businesses in this industry for over 2 decades and we’ve built a team of staff so qualified and accredited, we’d need a whole wall in the office just to hold up their certifications. We’ve been those plumbers Canberra locals go-to when they’ve had enough of dealing with shonky operators who overpromise and underdeliver, use second-grade equipment and materials, and who don’t turn up on time (or at all)!
Because we’ve been in this game long enough to build an excellent reputation, we do everything we can to keep those promises – and exceed them. Throughout Canberra, Jerrabomberra, and the Queanbeyan areas, we’re known as the folks you call when you need the job done right. The first time. My wife makes fun of me for being the most detail-oriented person she knows, which certainly means great things for you as a customer of Canberra Plumbing & Drains.
Plus, we pride ourselves on being the best communicators around:

- if we think there’s a long-term solution to your problem, we’ll take the time to explain it to you
- if you’re experiencing a serious plumbing emergency, we’ll even talk you through what to do so you can hold down the fort until we get there
- our Canberra plumbers are the best in the trade and the easiest tradies to get answers from to boot. They’ll keep you in the loop during every step of the process so you’re not hit with any unwelcome surprises, you’ll know how long everything should take, and you know exactly what’s going on with your job
There are no AWOL tradies here – we have a team of fabulous office staff who will get in touch with you over the phone so you can schedule a time with your plumber that works around your busy schedule.
