About Sate Plumbing

Sate Plumbing started in 2019. One van, one licensed plumber, and a written price before anything starts.

2019 Trading across Melbourne ever since, owner-operated from day one.

How it started

Jonathon started Sate Plumbing in 2019, on his own, with one van. It is still run exactly that way. The work comes from homeowners, landlords and agents right across Melbourne, and a fair amount of it comes from people who have used him before or were told to by somebody who had.

He works out of Williamstown North. Owner-operated means there is nobody to hand the blame to: the name on the van is his, and so is every job under it. If something is not right afterwards you ring him, and he comes back.

Licensed through the Victorian Building Authority and insured. The jobs run from a dripping tap to a full bathroom, and both get priced the same way: looked at first, written down, and approved by you before anyone starts.

Licence 114081. Check it yourself on the Building and Plumbing Commission register.

One van,

How we work

The three things the reviews keep coming back to.

  • We answer the phone

    The thing customers mention more than any other. Not an answering service, not a callback queue. Most of the time it is Jonathon who picks up, and if he cannot he rings back.

  • You get told what is wrong

    What the problem actually is, what your options are, and what each one costs. If something can be repaired rather than replaced, we say so, even when replacing it would pay us better.

  • The price you approve is the price

    Written down before work starts, and it does not move afterwards. Nothing gets added on, and nothing gets recommended that you do not need.

The part you never see

Most of a plumbing job is finished before the room is. These are three of them, part way through.

  • Water and waste pipework set out and braced between floor joists before the floor went down.
    A rough-in, set out and braced before anyone laid a floor over it. Nobody sees this again.
  • Sections of old drain pipe cut out and laid on the ground, bores closed over with scale.
    Cut out of one drain. What is left of the bore is why it kept blocking.
  • A storage hot water cylinder installed against a brick wall with copper pipework and an isolating valve set at reachable height.
    The isolating valve goes where somebody can actually reach it. Nobody notices that until the day they need it.

What customers say

They did not try to upsell work that was not needed, and their prices are fair.

Jonathan is exceptional good. You can't find any other young plumbers like him, very responsive and provide good advice.He gets my work done very efficient and good value of money. He has gone beyond of helping me out of fixing the loose tap and he is willing come back to look into the water pressure when i noticed it's something wrong. He has resolved my problems very promptly. Very highly recommended.
