About

The story that makes us Hartley Plumbing.

Family-photo

Hartley Plumbing was established in 1969 by a then young 24-year-old Graeme Hartley. Graeme was and still to this day remains dedicated to his trade. Graeme was old school, he dug a trench by hand, worked in copper and is meticulous about his craft. You name it and Graeme could either build it, fix it or create it. 

Fast forward many years and in 2007, Graeme hired son-in-law Chad as an Apprentice Plumber.

Chad has learnt the Plumbing trade from the very best in the business and spent 11 years under Graeme’s leadership and guidance.   

Graeme together with his wife Vicki-ann owned and operated the family business until 2016 and now enjoy a peaceful retirement together.

Under Chad’s direction, Hartley Plumbing continues with a long list of happy customers delivering honest advice and the best plumbing solution and outcome for your home or business. 

Chad, together with his wife Kirsti-ann are very proud that Hartley Plumbing has remained a small family business for 52 years (and counting).

Hartley Plumbing is fully insured and licenced.
