Banhams WA - Plumbing, Gas, Fire & Electrical Services

What Banhams WA - Plumbing, Gas, Fire & Electrical Services does

Banhams WA is a Western Australian integrated building services provider delivering fire protection, plumbing, gas, electrical, passive fire, and pump system services to commercial, industrial, and strata-managed properties. Established in 2012 and headquartered at 16 Coolibah Drive, Greenwood with a secondary office in Ocean Reef, the company operates statewide across metropolitan Perth and regional WA, offering 24/7 emergency call-out capability. The service portfolio is organised into five divisions: Fire Protection Services (hydrants, sprinklers, hose reels, fire pumps, water tanks, detection, exit lighting, extinguishers, gas suppression), Plumbing and Gas Services, Pump System Services, Electrical Services, and Passive Fire Services (fire doors, penetration seals, building audits). All work is delivered with reference to Australian Standards compliance (AS1851, AS2118, AS2419, AS2441, AS3000).

The company has invested in operational technology platforms and inspection methods including the Uptick cloud-based service management system for work order and scheduling workflows, a FireMate customer-facing documentation portal, ROV-based underwater tank inspections that avoid draining fire water storage, and thermographic imaging for electrical fault detection. Banhams WA holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications (Feb 2024), EcoVadis Silver Medal sustainability recognition (June 2026, top 15% globally), FPAS Gold Member status, and active memberships in NFIA, NECA, Master Plumbers Association, and Strata Community Association WA.

The business model combines recurring fire service maintenance contracts (with 12-month auto-renewal terms) on AS1851 compliance cycles, hourly professional services billed in half-hour units with a one-hour minimum, after-hours emergency call-out response at premium rates, and fixed-price quotes for installations, refurbishments, and project works. Customer acquisition is driven by direct field sales to commercial and industrial clients, account management relationships, and industry association referrals rather than digital channels. The workforce of 55+ includes 25+ administrative personnel and trade workers across specialised division management (Wet Fire, Passive Fire, Pumps, Electrical). Leadership comprises CEO Nilam Patel, General Manager Ben Wellman, and Senior Service Manager Shaun McComb alongside division managers and an Office Manager, with the company remaining privately owned and founder/management controlled.
