Get Fast & Reliable Emergency Plumbing – Joniec Plumbing!

Melbourne Restaurant & Cafe Plumber

Joniec Plumbing is the family business Sharee and Blake run from Knoxfield. We look after restaurant and cafe plumbing across south east Melbourne: grease traps, trade waste, kitchen fitouts, gas, floor drainage, blocked drains, and after-hours callouts so a venue can keep trading. Family owned since 2005. More than 20 years on leak detection and commercial kitchen work. Licensed plumber 46989. Call 1300 575 862.

A cafe or restaurant cannot wait a week for a blocked wash-up line or a dead hot-water unit. We treat hospitality as a trading business. You get a person on the phone, a clear quote before we start, and a crew that will work outside lunch and dinner service when the job allows. The same number in the header is the number that rings us: 1300 575 862.

This page is for hospitality sites. Offices, warehouses and other commercial work sit on our commercial plumbing page. Project photos are on plumbing projects. If you want a quote in writing, use contact Joniec Plumbing or the form lower on this page.

Plumbing installation at a cafe by Joniec Plumbing

What plumbing does a commercial kitchen need?

We look after maintenance, repairs and new installs for cafe owners and restaurant managers. That includes water-saving equipment, hygiene and safety work (gas appliances, floor drainage, backflow prevention), and the day-to-day faults that shut a kitchen: no hot water, blocked wash-up lines, leaking tapware. Work is quoted up front. We can work outside trading hours so you are not closed through a lunch service.

A commercial kitchen is harder on pipework than a house. Constant wash-up, high water use, grease, and a floor waste that has to keep moving. We come in for the small jobs as well as the fitout work: tapware that will not shut off, a leaking flexi, a dishwasher waste that smells, a floor drain that ponds under the pass. If the fault is a blocked drain, our blocked drains page explains how we clear lines. Hospitality sites still book through the same Knoxfield workshop.

New installs and refits are planned around your service. We do not invent a two-week closedown you never asked for. Tell us when you trade and we will say what can be done after close, or staged across quieter days. Gas appliance work and backflow prevention sit with a licensed plumber. Licence 46989 is on this site already; you will see it on invoices and in the footer.

See our commercial plumbing page for other business sites. Restaurant and cafe work stays on this page because the kitchen, grease and after-hours piece is different to a standard office.

Do restaurants and cafes need a grease trap?

Trade waste is already part of this page: grease traps, the pipes behind them, and the permits that sit with the site. We install and repair grease traps and the pipework that feeds them. If a trap is backing up, or a council or permit job is overdue, say that when you book so we send the right person. Licensed plumber 46989. Fully insured and regularly police-checked.

Grease is what blocks a cafe more often than anything else. It cools in the line, catches food waste, and then the floor waste or the pot-wash backs up during service. We do not publish trap sizes or dollar figures here because every kitchen is different. We look at what is installed, whether it is still serviceable, and what the site needs so staff can keep cooking.

If you already have a trap and it is due a clean or a repair, call 1300 575 862. If you are fitting out a new cafe, tell us at quote stage. We will not invent a health-department fine or a standard number that is not already on this site. We will tell you what we can do, what we need from you, and when we can be on site.

Can you come after hours if the kitchen floods?

Kitchens fail on Friday night as often as Tuesday morning. We run a 24/7 emergency plumbing service across south east Melbourne, including public holidays. Burst pipe, blocked floor drain, no hot water, gas fault. Call 1300 575 862. Same number as the header. Most emergencies are same day.

After-hours work exists so you can keep trading. A flooded cool-room slab or a blocked floor waste at 8pm is not a Monday problem. Sharee and Blake built the after-hours roster for that. You get the same Knoxfield team, not a random subcontract number. If we cannot get to you that night we will say so on the phone.

Emergency cover is the same south-east patch we already service: Knoxfield, Rowville, Ferntree Gully, Mount Waverley, Glen Waverley, Berwick and nearby. Wider Melbourne commercial jobs are discussed case by case. Read the emergency plumber page for how the 24/7 line works, then call if you are in the middle of it.

Do you cover my south east Melbourne suburb?

We are based in Knoxfield, Unit 1/7 Samantha Court, and cover south east Melbourne. Restaurant and cafe work includes Knoxfield, Rowville, Ferntree Gully, Mount Waverley, Glen Waverley and Berwick, plus surrounding suburbs. If you cannot see your suburb, call 1300 575 862 and we will tell you if we can get to you.

We do not list every cafe strip in Melbourne as a core market. The workshop is Knoxfield. Most hospitality work is south-east. If your restaurant is further out, say so. We already take some wider Melbourne commercial jobs when the work fits. We will not pretend a suburb is around the corner if it is not.

Why do cafes call Joniec?

Sharee and Blake run Joniec as a family business. Family owned since 2005. 4.9 stars from 600+ Google reviews. Licence 46989, Knoxfield workshop at Unit 1/7 Samantha Court. We treat hospitality sites as trading businesses: show up on time, quote before we start, leave the kitchen tidy.

Twenty-plus years of leak detection matters in a restaurant because the leak is usually behind a wall or under a floor you cannot pull up mid-service. We find it, we tell you what we found, and we quote the repair. No invented testimonial on this page. The Google rating above is the one already used on the site.
