About Us

The Chapmans have been plumbing and contributing to our Cairns community for more than 50 years.

Allen started Chapman Plumbing in 1969, bringing his son Mark through as an apprentice in 1992. Since then, Chapman Plumbing have trained 10 more apprentices to a really high standard, with many of these still living and working in Cairns.

Mark was born and raised in Cairns, so knows the local plumbing needs well, having lived through floods, cyclones and heat!

And it’s not just plumbing that runs through the Chapmans’ veins. Allen’s sense of community has been handed down too. Allen has volunteered for many organisations, including being a volunteer coastguard. Both basketball and scouting have benefitted greatly from Mark’s investment in them. He’s coached and managed junior basketball teams for 15 years and is passionate about how sport enhances children’s lives. He’s a Queen’s Scout, the highest youth award achievable in the Scouting movement in the Commonwealth, and led 4 others to achieve this too.

He’s not leaving it there – his 2 sons also volunteer in the local community.

So whether it’s a trustworthy plumber you’re after, or an all-round nice guy, then Chapman Plumbing are the plumbers for you.

Blockages

Toilets and toilet pipes get blocked when people put the wrong things down the loo. Things which should never be put down the loo include food scraps, paper, rags, cans, bottles, grease and fat. But the worst culprit is baby/wet wipes!

We use our state of the art drainage cameras identify any existing pipe damage, or any potential future damage, in the interior part of the pipe. This can save you money and minimise any nasty surprises, giving you peace of mind.

Wastewater pipes from sinks, basins and laundry tubs can also get blocked if you put food waste down them. If hot fat is poured down a pipe, it will set in the pipe when it cools and cause a blockage.

Outside, main sewer pipes can get blocked in other ways, for example, tree roots growing into the pipe or soil blocking the pipe.

Whatever the cause, Chapman Plumbing can sort it out.

Drainage Inspections

Before you enter into a contract when you’re moving, before you do any work at home or any time you think there may be a blockage it’s time to inspect your pipes! Even repairs that have been done badly in the past can allow joins to separate allowing debris to get caught up and create blockages. Look out for our special offers on drainage inspections.

Kitchen & laundry

Kitchens are the heart of any home. We use them not only for cooking, eating and gathering, but also as our office, doing homework or watching TV. So, it makes sense that we want them to be a place that’s welcoming and easy to use.

And who can live without a washing machine these days? The average household with children can do up to 15 loads per week – so a working washing machine is a must.

Whether it’s a full  kitchen installation, a new dishwasher, washing machine or taps, Chapman Plumbing can help.

Kitchens and bathrooms are at the heart of every home

Bathrooms

Often our bathrooms are the smallest rooms in our homes yet have such an impact on our everyday lives. Imagine how it would feel great to have a nice, new bathroom. From stylish and updated plumbing fixtures, a new bathtub and shower, walking into a beautiful bathroom is a wonderful way to start and end each day.

In addition to providing you with years of enjoyment, one of the benefits is the ability to sell your home more quickly and at a higher price. We are masters at bathroom installations and bathroom repairs and maintenance.
