For more than half a century, Liessmann & Sons Plumbing and Gas has been a Burdekin mainstay, evolving from a modest one‑truck plumbing operation into a comprehensive, full‑service plumbing and gas provider.
Over the years, LP and commercial gases have become a core focus of the operation. What once began with the occasional cylinder now accounts for half the business, with gas services stretching from Giru to Bowen and all areas in between. The company employs qualified gasfitter, and the workshop has the capability to fabricate specialised parts on demand.
The company’s “no‑job‑too‑big” philosophy remains unchanged. With two registered builders on staff, Liessmann & Sons can take on everything from small repairs to complete bathroom renovations. This versatility has been key to keeping pace with a constantly changing industry.
The business has seen the trade transform dramatically over the decades. Where once heavy galvanised tanks, toolboxes, and custom metalwork were the norm, today’s materials are largely plastic made externally ready for use. These changes have brought new efficiencies, allowing the team to complete work that once took a week in just a day, without compromising on quality.
Central to the company’s longevity is its emphasis on friendly, efficient service. With 16 employees in the field and a three‑member office team, Liessmann & Sons remains a one‑stop shop for plumbing, gas, and even the occasional friendly chat. Many customers drop by simply to catch up, reflecting the business’s enduring place in the community.
That collaborative approach extends beyond customers, with the company maintaining strong working relationships with other local plumbers and tradespeople. In a competitive industry, the spirit of cooperation has fostered a network that benefits both workers and the wider Burdekin community.
Today, Liessmann & Sons continues to focus on what has always worked: adapting to change, maintaining high standards, and serving the people of the Burdekin with the same reliability that has defined the business for 55 years.
