History and heritage
When Fred Beutler started Southern Plumbing as a small ‘backyard’ operation in Fyshwick in 1978, he didn’t expect the business would grow to the size it is today. Initially, Fred sold plumbing fittings and tapware – mostly to customers outside Canberra.
The business progressed steadily, moved to new premises, and began to really flourish during the construction of Australia’s new Parliament House in the 1980s. Our work as a plumbing supplier for the new Parliament sparked the growth of our business in Canberra and the surrounding area and cemented our customer base in all sections of its markets.
Forty-five years after it began, Southern Plumbing is now firmly established as the leading independent supplier of plumbing, irrigation, bathroom, kitchen and laundry products in the ACT, southern NSW and north-east Victoria. And we’re determined to stay at the pinnacle of our industry!
Our promise to you
Our customer service philosophy is simple: to put our customers first. We’ve built a strong and enviable reputation based on the exemplary customer service we provide. We commit to this daily, knowing it is what sets us apart.
And, at the heart of everything we do are our company values, defining who we are as individuals and teams, and guiding how we behave and do business.
Our mission is to provide our customers with the highest levels of service we can achieve, and to do so fairly, ethically and conscientiously.
Our community
At Southern Plumbing, we believe the value of community should never be underestimated. We operate a friendly, family culture with a local focus, proudly supporting charities including Canberra’s Menslink of which we’ve been a principal partner since 2017.
When a plumber drops into one of our plumbing centres in his 45th year as a customer, or a couple returns to Innovations for their second or third home renovation, we know we’ve created the community we intended. As a local company operating in local communities, we intend to grow the Southern family for many years to come.
