Plumbing problems never arrive at a convenient time. A burst pipe on a public holiday, a hot water system failing on a freezing Melbourne morning, a dripping tap that’s been getting worse for weeks when something goes wrong in your home, the last thing you want is to deal with a plumber who doesn’t show up, overcharges, or recommends work you don’t actually need.
Hi, I’m Simon, the owner and sole plumber at SJS Plumbing, based right here in Caroline Springs.
I’ve been fixing plumbing problems across Melbourne’s western suburbs for over 21 years. I started this business because I believe homeowners in Caroline Springs, Tarneit, Truganina, Ravenhall, and Deer Park deserve a local plumber who is honest, shows up on time, and gets the job done right the first time without the runaround.
When you call SJS Plumbing, you’re calling me directly. There’s no call centre, no dispatch queue, and no subcontractors. Just a licensed, experienced local plumber who genuinely cares about doing right by his customers.
Why Caroline Springs Homeowners Choose SJS Plumbing Over Bigger Companies
21+ Years of Hands-On Plumbing Experience and I Do Every Job Myself
I’ve been a licensed plumber for over two decades. In that time, I’ve worked on everything from a simple dripping tap in a Taylors Hill home to complex pipe repairs behind brick walls in older Melbourne properties.
Because I handle every job personally, I bring my full attention and experience to your home not a junior tradesperson learning on the job. I also carry the most common parts, fittings, washers, and cartridges in my van, which means most repairs are done in a single visit.
I often give homeowners an initial diagnosis over the phone before I even arrive. That saves time, gives you a realistic expectation of what’s involved, and means you’re never left in the dark.
Fully Licensed, Insured, and VBA Compliant
I am fully licensed and insured, registered with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA). Every job I complete meets Victoria’s strict plumbing standards, and I issue a Certificate of Compliance for all applicable work protecting your property and keeping your home insurance valid.
Before hiring any plumber, always verify their licence. You can do this in minutes at the official VBA licence check portal.
What My Customers Say
I’d rather let my customers speak for me than make promises myself. Here’s what some Caroline Springs and western suburbs homeowners have said:
“Simon came to my place on Monday, changed the faulty part, done in an hour. He also saved me a lot of money — most other plumbers I spoke to advised me to change the entire hot water unit.”
“He found and fixed a cracked pipe behind a brick wall in less than a day. Very professional, highly skilled — and most importantly, he doesn’t take advantage of customers.”
“I was quoted a price from another plumber that was three times the amount Simon charged.”
Saving you money by fixing what actually needs fixing not selling you a replacement you don’t need is something I take real pride in.

General Plumbing Repairs & Maintenance
Beyond emergencies, I handle the full range of everyday residential plumbing needs across Caroline Springs and Melbourne’s western suburbs.
General services I provide:

A word on flexi-hoses: These braided connectors under your kitchen and bathroom sinks have a lifespan of around 10 years and when they fail, which often happens without any warning, they can flood a home in minutes. I strongly recommend having them inspected if your home is 8–12 years old. It’s a quick check that can save you from a very expensive insurance claim.
