At RJT Plumbing & Gas, we believe that great plumbing work starts with great materials. The pipes, fittings, fixtures, and valves we install are the backbone of every job — and if they fail, so does our reputation. That’s why we’ve worked closely with Reece Plumbing, particularly the North Lakes branch, to ensure every job is backed by trusted products and expert support.
You’ve probably seen the Reece name on product packaging or signage — but there’s more to this company than just hardware. Reece represents over 100 years of Australian plumbing heritage, combined with a forward-thinking approach that aligns perfectly with how we do business at RJT.
Here’s why Reece Plumbing matters to us, and why it should matter to you if you care about quality outcomes for your home.
The Reece Story: Over 100 Years of Australian Plumbing History
Reece began in 1920, when Harold Joseph Reece started selling plumbing products out of the back of his truck in Melbourne. Later that same year, he opened the first official Reece store in Caulfield. From those humble beginnings, the company has grown into Australia’s largest plumbing and bathroom supplier, with more than 900 locations across Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
As of 2024, Reece Group employs over 9,000 people and has expanded into waterworks, HVAC, and civil infrastructure supply — but it has never lost its connection to plumbers on the tools. It’s still a family-led company (listed on the ASX), and still maintains a strong reputation for quality control, local support, and long-term relationships with trade professionals.
Reece North Lakes: Our Local Branch for Local Jobs
Located in the heart of North Lakes, the local Reece Plumbing branch is more than just a trade counter — it’s a full-service supply hub with a modern showroom, expert staff, and access to a huge product catalogue. We source nearly all of our plumbing fixtures and fittings from this branch, and we’re in and out of the store almost daily.
What sets this branch apart:
- Product expertise from staff who understand real-world jobsite conditions
- Up-to-date inventory of cutting-edge plumbing products
- Access to specialist orders with fast turnaround for harder-to-find items
- Showroom access for clients wanting to choose fixtures in person
From hot water units and pipework to smart bathroom solutions, this branch helps us do better work faster — and with confidence that what we install will last.
Modern Fixtures on Display: Smart Toilets and More
One of the standout features of the North Lakes Reece showroom is the display of smart toilets and other modern bathroom technology. These aren’t just luxury items; they represent the next generation of plumbing that’s more efficient, more hygienic, and more aligned with Australia’s push toward water- and energy-smart homes.
If you’re unfamiliar with smart toilets, we recently wrote a full article breaking down what they are, why they matter, and why more homeowners are making the switch. They include features like:
- Integrated bidet functions
- Heated seats and air dryers
- Auto-flush and hands-free operation
- Energy-saving standby modes
If you’re considering a bathroom upgrade and want to get hands-on with these modern options, the Reece showroom is the perfect place to start. You can read more here:

Why We Choose Reece
Some suppliers just sell gear. Reece backs it with service. That includes:
- Product advice before install
- Warranty support if something goes wrong
- Access to new product training so we’re always up to date
- WELS-compliant and WaterMark certified fixtures, which help our clients stay legally compliant and water-efficient
Their national presence means we can trust the consistency of what we order, and their local presence means we get what we need fast.
The Real Impact for RJT Customers
When we say we work with Reece, it’s not branding — it’s a practical choice that affects:
- The longevity of your hot water system
- The efficiency of your tapware and toilets
- The safety of the fittings we install behind walls
- The aesthetics and functionality of the fixtures you see and use every day
Because we work closely with the North Lakes branch, we can also coordinate with their showroom staff if you want to visit in person. This is especially helpful for larger projects like full bathroom renovations, where picking the right product makes all the difference.
We’ll even meet you there, walk through options, and help make selections that suit your budget and layout.
Looking Ahead: A Shared Focus on Quality and Innovation
As RJT continues to serve homes across North Brisbane and Moreton Bay, our relationship with Reece is a key part of how we deliver better outcomes. Whether it’s recommending water-efficient upgrades, selecting the right smart toilet, or ensuring we meet modern compliance standards, we trust Reece to supply the gear that keeps us moving.
And when you hire RJT, that trust flows directly to you. We don’t cut corners with materials — and we don’t work with suppliers who do.
