About Express Plumbing
A Local Team With Broad Plumbing Capability
At Express Plumbing, we support Hobart customers with practical plumbing services across residential, commercial and industrial work. Our team handles general plumbing, commercial plumbing, emergency call-outs, gas fitting, hydronic heating, wastewater systems, backflow prevention and thermostatic mixing valve testing.
Our building-service capability also covers new home plumbing, roof plumbing and fire services, alongside solar hot water and heating plumbing. We work across repairs, maintenance, upgrades, additions, renovations and new installations, giving customers access to a broad range of related services through one local business.
We focus on clear communication, practical workmanship and understanding the job before work begins. Whether the job is a small repair, ongoing maintenance or part of a larger project, we aim to understand the requirement properly and provide a practical next step.
Our story began in Hobart in 1920, when JT Graves and Son Pty Ltd started as a family-run plumbing business. Over the decades we built our name on turning up when we said we would and doing the job properly, and the business grew with the local community.
- 1970Express had been a known Hobart name since September 1970.
- 2012In 2012 we brought Express Plumbing into the JT Graves and Son family. We chose to keep trading as Express Plumbing, joining two long-standing Tasmanian businesses under one name.
- 2015In 2015 we expanded into fire protection and set up Express Fire. As part of that, we opened a manufacturing facility in Hobart that makes pipework solely for fire prevention systems. Making it locally lets us control quality and turn work around faster across Tasmania. Today Express Fire works statewide, with additional offices in Devonport and Launceston.
