Who We Are

Port Plumbing was founded by Reid Lucas, a local tradesman and family man who has spent his entire career in the maintenance and repair side of plumbing. Having built both his life and business here in Port Macquarie, Reid understands the importance of trust, reliability, and strong community values.

Working across homes and businesses throughout the region, Reid developed a clear understanding of not just the work itself, but what local clients expect — reliable service, honest advice, and quality workmanship that lasts.

From the beginning, Port Plumbing was built differently. It wasn’t about rushing jobs or cutting corners — it was about turning up when promised, doing the job properly, and delivering real value for money. That approach quickly earned the trust of homeowners and businesses across the Port Macquarie region.

What started as a one-man operation soon grew through word of mouth into a well-known local team. As demand increased, Reid expanded Port Plumbing with like-minded plumbers who shared the same standards and work ethic. With growth also came a commitment to giving back to the community, bringing on apprentices and helping train the next generation of local tradespeople.

More than 80% of Port Plumbing’s annual work comes from returning customers — something we’re extremely proud of and a clear reflection of the trust we’ve built within the Port Macquarie community. In a regional area like this, reputation matters, and we’ve built ours on consistently delivering quality work and dependable service. A big part of that reputation has always been understanding value for money. Our clients expect the job done properly the first time, with no surprises — and that’s exactly what we deliver.

While Reid Lucas is no longer out on the tools or running the day-to-day operations, his influence remains at the core of everything we do. The values he built the business on — honesty, quality, and accountability — continue to guide our team every day.

Today, Port Plumbing is proud to be a family business — not just Reid’s family, but the families behind every member of our team — built on strong values and a long-term commitment to our local community.

Port Plumbing is proud to be a trusted name in Port Macquarie and the surrounding areas, known for reliable service, strong local relationships, and consistently high-quality work.
