(picture of all three generations of plumbers - Blake, his father and late grandfather, Alan)

Canberra Plumbing and Fire is small, family managed plumbing and fire protection company that services the Canberra and surrounding regions.

Blake, Canberra Plumbing and Fire's Managing Director, is a 3rd generation plumber and sprinkler fitter with almost 15 years of his own experience, who started his plumbing apprenticeship back in 2012 with his father's plumbing company.
During his apprenticeship he set himself a goal of getting better marks than his father, grandfather and the other men working alongside him. Not only did he succeed in this goal but he also obtained the highest marks in his cohort several years in a row, something which is still an occasional point of banter between him and his father even now.

Over the next few year Blake spent time working for various companies that provided him with experience in almost all areas of plumbing but Blake decided he wanted to learn more. This decision led him to obtain his certificate III in Fire Protection, making him one of the very few dual licensed plumbers and fire sprinkler fitters, practicing both trades, in the ACT.

Over the course of his career, Blake has worked for several companies. He has come to realise the standard of plumbing and fire protection in the ACT does not meet the standard he believes to be acceptable, some of which does not even meet the Australian Standards set by the government. Unfortunately, he has noticed these standards continue to drop as his career continues.

It was this that led Blake to start Canberra Plumbing and Fire.
Blake's goal is simple; to provide clients with the quality, service and education that they deserve and hopes that one day he may be in a position of influence to improve the minimum standards that the ACT construction industry deems acceptable.
