With a legacy spanning three generations, our story reflects a deep-rooted passion for the plumbing trade.
It began with Stewart Bankley, who honed his craft as an apprentice under his father, Norman Charles Bankley.
After earning his plumbing licence in 1996, Stewart launched Bankley's Plumbing Inc. in Russell, Ontario,
building on his family's foundation of expertise. Over the years, he expanded the business to serve residential, institutional,
and commercial industries, earning a reputation for excellence in work and service.
Stewart's son, Alexandre Bankley, had proudly followed in his footsteps, completing his apprenticeship and joining the company as a full-time Plumber and Well Technician.
Local people. Local service.
Lasting relationships.
