🔧 Important — Plumbing Compliance
All prescribed plumbing and drainlaying work in New Zealand must be carried out by a registered plumber. Every plumber we send is registered with the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (PGDB) and licensed to carry out the work. We never subcontract to unregistered trades. Visit pgdb.co.nz to verify any plumber’s registration.
One Plumber. Eight Jobs. No Runaround.
Quick answer: We handle all residential plumbing across Auckland — leaking taps and pipes, blocked drains, hot water cylinder replacement, toilet repairs, bathroom and kitchen fitouts, water pressure issues, burst pipe response, and extractor fan ducting. One call gets the right person on site.
Most people end up making three or four calls before they find a plumber who’s available, licensed for the job, and willing to give a straight price upfront. Then you wait. Then someone turns up who farms the work out to a subcontractor you’ve never heard of.
We don’t do that. Every plumber we send is PGDB-registered, we give you a fixed quote before a single tool comes out of the bag, and we respond within one working day. For landlords in Remuera and Takapuna through to homeowners in Henderson and Papatoetoe — that’s what we do, every time.
Plumbing Services We Cover
All work carried out by PGDB-registered plumbers. Fixed quote every time.
01 — Leaking Taps & Pipes
A dripping tap wastes thousands of litres a year and drives up your water bill — and in older Auckland homes, particularly villas and bungalows in Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, and Mt Eden, ageing compression taps and corroded pipework are common. We replace tap washers, reseat valves, repair burst flexi hoses, and fix leaking joints at the source, not with a temporary patch.
All plumbing repairs are documented. You get the paperwork.
02 — Blocked Drains
Slow-draining sinks, gurgling pipes, or a drain that backs up every few weeks — these don’t fix themselves. We clear blockages in kitchen and bathroom drains, laundry waste pipes, and outdoor drainage. For recurring blockages, we can camera inspect the drain to find root intrusion, build-up, or collapsed pipe before it becomes a bigger problem.
We fix the cause, not just the symptom.
03 — Hot Water Cylinder Replacement
Most Auckland hot water cylinders last 10–15 years. When yours starts leaking, losing temperature, or failing to recover between uses, replacement is usually the right call. We supply and install mains pressure and low pressure cylinders, advise on sizing for your household, and handle the full installation including the pressure limiting valve, drain valve, and compliance certificate.
Full installation certified and documented. No loose ends.
04 — Toilet Repairs & Replacement
A running toilet can waste up to 200 litres a day — that’s real money on a metered Auckland water account. We repair fill valves, flush valves, and cistern mechanisms, or replace the full suite where repairs aren’t cost-effective. Common in Manukau and Henderson rentals where original fittings are 20+ years old. We carry common parts on the van so most toilet repairs are done in a single visit.
We come to fix it, not to look and leave.
05 — Bathroom & Kitchen Plumbing Fitout
Renovating a bathroom or kitchen means new rough-in and fit-off plumbing — relocating waste pipes, installing new tapware, connecting basins, baths, showers, and appliances. We work alongside your builder or tiler and manage both rough-in and fit-off stages so the plumbing doesn’t hold up the rest of the job. Common across North Shore townhouses and Epsom homes being refurbished for sale or rental.
Neat, code-compliant work with full documentation.
06 — Water Pressure Issues
Low water pressure in the shower, fluctuating hot water temperature, or pressure that drops when two taps run at once — these are signs of a pressure limiting valve that needs replacing, a failing toby valve, or pipework that’s undersized for the property. We diagnose the actual cause and fix it, rather than guessing. Particularly common in older Takapuna and Remuera homes on ageing copper supply lines.
Diagnosed and fixed properly — not a temporary adjustment.
07 — Burst Pipe Emergency Response
A burst pipe needs to be dealt with fast — water damage compounds quickly and the cost of delay is always higher than the cost of the repair. 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 can coordinate directly with your tenants and provide full documentation for your insurance claim.
Permanent repair, full documentation — sorted in one visit for most burst pipe jobs.
08 — Extractor Fan Ducting
Extractor fans that vent into the ceiling cavity — rather than ducted outside — are one of the most common moisture problems in Auckland rentals. Warm, humid air sits in the roof space, condenses, and causes mould and timber damage over time. We install and re-route extractor fan ducting to vent directly outside through the soffit or roof, using rigid or semi-rigid duct to maintain airflow. A straightforward job that makes a real difference to a property’s moisture performance.
Correctly ducted to outside — compliant installation with written records.

Plumbing for Landlords — Made Straightforward

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 registered plumber — someone 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 tasks 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 pressure or low pressure), and access. We'll assess your existing setup and give you a fixed price before any work starts — covering the cylinder, installation, valves, and compliance certificate.
What causes low water pressure in Auckland homes?
Low water pressure is usually caused by a failing or incorrectly set pressure limiting valve (PLV), a partially closed toby valve, or older galvanised pipework that's corroding internally. Older homes in Remuera, Takapuna, and Mt Eden on original copper or galvanised supply lines are particularly prone to this. 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 you have several properties that need hot water cylinder checks, drain clears, or tap repairs, we can schedule all of them together, reduce 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. This is the legal record that the work was carried out by a PGDB-registered plumber and completed to the relevant standard. Keep this with your property file — it's 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 to outside is considered plumbing work in New Zealand and must be carried out by a registered plumber. It's a common job in Auckland rentals — many older properties have extractor fans that vent into the ceiling cavity rather than outside, which causes 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 directly with your builder or tiler to make sure plumbing doesn't hold up the rest of the job. All bathroom plumbing is certified and documented, which is what you'll need for building consent sign-off if consent is required.
