About Paterson Bushfire Defence
Bushfire protection built by plumbers, backed by four generations in the trades.
Paterson Bushfire Defence is the bushfire division of Paterson Trades Group, a South Australian family business that has been in the trades since 1927. We design, install and service bushfire sprinkler systems, fire fighting pumps, hose reels and firefighting water tanks for homes, farms and businesses across the Adelaide Hills, Fleurieu Peninsula and Barossa.
Bushfire defence is plumbing work
A bushfire system is only as good as its pump, pipework and water supply. That is the work our licensed plumbers do every day. We size each pump to the system it runs, use metal pipework that holds up in radiant heat, and install non-combustible tanks with fittings the CFS can connect to. Then we start the system with you, so you know it works and how to use it.

Straight advice and fair pricing
We will tell you what your property needs, and what it doesn’t. If your existing pump or tank can be reused, we say so. Every quote is fixed and explained before any work starts, and we stand behind our installations with a 25-year labour warranty.
