Ben and his team were fantastic. Great service from start to finish. They were friendly, professional, and easy to deal with. Communication was excellent, and they took the time to explain everything in simple terms, which really helped as someone with no plumbing background. They were thorough in tracking down the issue and made sure everything was sorted properly. The price was very reasonable, especially given the time and effort Ben put in. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing a reliable plumber.

What we do
Everything a house on the coast throws at you.
Salt air, old pipework, holiday houses that sit empty half the year. Most of what we get called out to falls into one of these.
Talk to Ben about a jobHot water systems
Supply, replacement and repair. Old unit out, new one in, hot water back on the same day where we can get to you early enough.
Gas fitting and gas leaks
Installation, servicing and leak repairs, including weekends when you cannot safely wait until Monday.
Drainage
Strip and channel drains, stormwater and blocked drains. Dug in properly, backfilled and left tidy.
Compliance certificates
Plumbing and gas compliance paperwork sorted and lodged without you having to chase it.
Taps, leaks and repairs
The small urgent jobs. Dripping taps, burst pipes, running toilets, and tracking down a leak you can hear but cannot find.
Outdoor showers and renovations
Bathroom and laundry rough in, fixture installs, and the outdoor shower every South Coast house should have.
Commercial and strata
Work scheduled around your trading hours so the doors stay open while we are on site.

The work
Dug in straight, backfilled, and left how we found it.
This is a strip drain along a driveway edge. It is not glamorous work, but it is the kind that either holds for twenty years or gives you trouble after one wet season. The reviews below keep using the same two words about it: neat and tidy.

About
Run by Ben Sloman, who has lived here his whole life.
“Gday, I’d just like to introduce myself and the family! I’m Ben from Lakeside Plumbing and have just started my own Plumbing business servicing the South Coast.”
Lakeside Plumbing started up in the summer of 2023 and has been working the coast ever since. It is a family business in the plainest sense: Ben runs it, his family is on the side of the ute, and the work comes almost entirely from people around here telling each other about it.
There is a team now, not just Ben. Customers mention the apprentices by implication more than once, and one review describes two young workers doing first class work with Ben keeping them in line on communication. That is the part he seems to care about most: turning up when he said he would, and explaining the job in terms that make sense if you have never held a pipe wrench.
They also put their name behind the Milton Ulladulla Touch under 14s, which is about as local as a business gets.

Excellent service, came on a Saturday to fix a gas leak, efficient, courteous and knowledgeable highly recommend Ben, thank you
Lakeside Plumbing did a great job of installing my hot water system. Ben came and had a look straight away when contacted. They removed all the old system and had it installed by lunchtime. I was able to have hot water by 4 o’clock. I could certainly recommend their work
Ben is a friendly bloke to turned up when he said he would, on time and ready to get the job done. An honest tradie who provided good advice that was the best for us. His work was quick and at a high quality. I would highly recommend Ben if you're in need of a plumber around the Ulladulla area
Experienced honest cost friendly advice, timely communication, and quality workmanship.
Ben has done several jobs for my mum and dad. They couldn’t be happier and said he’s not only a top plumber but a top bloke.
Ben was fantastic for our business. Very flexible to work around the opening times. Quality and finish were exceptional. Glad to say we have a new plumber for all our plumbing needs.
Great service. Polite and respectful. Outdoor shower is excellent.
