What we cover
One plumber, eight jobs, no runaround
Most people make three or four calls before they find a plumber who is available, licensed for the job, and willing to give a straight price upfront. We send a PGDB-registered plumber, give you a fixed quote before work begins, and respond within one working day – for landlords in Remuera and Takapuna through to homeowners in Henderson and Papatoetoe.
Leaking taps & pipes
A dripping tap wastes thousands of litres a year. In older villas and bungalows around Ponsonby, Grey Lynn and Mt Eden, ageing compression taps and corroded pipework are common. We replace washers, reseat valves, repair burst flexi hoses and fix leaking joints at the source, not with a temporary patch.
Blocked drains
Slow-draining sinks, gurgling pipes, or a drain that backs up every few weeks do not fix themselves. We clear kitchen, bathroom, laundry and outdoor blockages, and for recurring ones we camera-inspect the drain to find root intrusion, build-up or a collapsed pipe before it becomes a bigger problem.
Hot water cylinder replacement
Most Auckland cylinders last 10 to 15 years. When yours starts leaking, losing temperature or failing to recover, we supply and install mains or low-pressure cylinders, size it for your household, and handle the full install including the pressure limiting valve, drain valve and compliance certificate.
Toilet repairs & replacement
A running toilet can waste up to 200 litres a day on a metered Auckland account. We repair fill valves, flush valves and cistern mechanisms, or replace the full suite where repairs are not cost-effective. We carry common parts on the van, so most toilet repairs are done in a single visit.
Bathroom & kitchen fitout
Renovating means new rough-in and fit-off plumbing – relocating waste pipes, installing tapware, connecting basins, baths, showers and appliances. We work alongside your builder or tiler and manage both stages so the plumbing does not hold up the rest of the job.
Water pressure issues
Low shower pressure, fluctuating hot water, or pressure that drops when two taps run at once point to a failing pressure limiting valve, a tired toby valve, or undersized pipework. We diagnose the actual cause and fix it – common in older Takapuna and Remuera homes on ageing copper lines.
Burst pipe response
A burst pipe needs dealing with fast – water damage compounds quickly. We prioritise burst-pipe callouts, isolate the supply and carry out a permanent repair rather than a temporary fix that fails again in six months. For landlords we coordinate with tenants and document everything for your insurer.
Extractor fan ducting
Fans that vent into the ceiling cavity rather than outside are one of the most common moisture problems in Auckland rentals. We install and re-route ducting to vent directly outside through the soffit or roof, using rigid or semi-rigid duct to keep airflow and cut the mould risk.

Why Auckland homeowners & landlords use us
Registered, fixed-price, and no one farmed out to a stranger
Most people end up making three or four calls before they find a plumber who is available, licensed, and willing to give a straight price – then they wait, and someone turns up who farms the work out to a subcontractor they have never heard of. We do not do that.
Every plumber we send is PGDB-registered. That matters more than most landlords realise: unlicensed plumbing work is not just a safety risk – it can void your insurance, create liability at the Tenancy Tribunal, and leave you with work that fails a future inspection. We do not send anyone we would not put our name to.

FAQs
Plumbing FAQs – Auckland homeowners & landlords
Do I need a registered plumber for all plumbing work in New Zealand?
All prescribed plumbing work in New Zealand must be carried out by a plumber registered with the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (PGDB). This covers hot water cylinder installation, new pipework, drain connections and most fixture installation. DIY plumbing beyond very minor maintenance is illegal and can void your home insurance. Every plumber we send is PGDB-registered.
How much does a hot water cylinder replacement cost in Auckland?
A standard hot water cylinder replacement in an Auckland home typically runs between $1,800 and $3,500 depending on the cylinder size, type (mains or low pressure) and access. We assess your existing setup and give you a fixed price before any work starts, covering the cylinder, installation, valves and the compliance certificate.
What causes low water pressure in Auckland homes?
Low pressure is usually a failing or incorrectly set pressure limiting valve, a partially closed toby valve, or older galvanised pipework corroding internally. Homes in Remuera, Takapuna and Mt Eden on original copper or galvanised supply lines are particularly prone to it. We diagnose the cause first and give you a fixed quote before touching anything.
Can you carry out plumbing work across multiple rental properties?
Yes. We batch plumbing inspections and repairs across landlord portfolios regularly. If several properties need cylinder checks, drain clears or tap repairs, we schedule them together, reduce the per-property cost, and give you a single scope document covering everything – one call, one company, one set of paperwork.
What documentation do I get after plumbing work is completed?
After all prescribed plumbing work we issue a Certificate of Compliance – the legal record that the work was done by a PGDB-registered plumber to the relevant standard. Keep it with your property file; it is what your insurer, a future buyer or a tenant may ask for.
Does extractor fan ducting count as plumbing work?
Installing or re-routing extractor fan ducting that vents outside is considered plumbing work in New Zealand and must be done by a registered plumber. It is a common job in older Auckland rentals where fans vent into the ceiling cavity rather than outside, causing moisture build-up and mould. We re-route these to vent correctly and issue a compliance certificate.
How quickly can you respond to a burst pipe?
We respond to all enquiries within one working day, and burst-pipe callouts are treated as priority. A burst pipe left running causes water damage quickly – if you have an active burst, turn off the water at the toby valve (usually near the boundary of your property) and call us on 0800 199 888 straight away.
Can you handle both the rough-in and fit-off for a bathroom renovation?
Yes. We manage both stages – rough-in plumbing before the tiling and linings go in, and fit-off once the room is finished. We coordinate with your builder or tiler so plumbing does not hold up the job. All bathroom plumbing is certified and documented, which is what you need for building consent sign-off where consent is required.
