About Us
Brief History
Lakeside Plumbing & Gas was first established in 1989. It began as a partnership operating from a home based office in Joondalup WA. Following 10 years of development, the partnership was dissolved and the current owners Phil and Katharine Roggio became sole proprietors of LPG in 2000. Four years of rebuilding and consolidation followed, with LPG becoming an incorporated company in 2003.
In 2004, with a select team of highly motivated and committed personnel, LPG embarked on a complete restructure and culture change process and began to experience a phase of rapid growth. LPG relocated to brand new business premises in the Joondalup Business Park in 2005 and continued to grow beyond all expectations. LPG is now currently among one of the largest and most respected maintenance plumbing companies in the Perth metropolitan area, providing employment for 24 full time personnel.
