What we do
Three things, done properly
From the 6am “it won’t stop leaking” call to a full new build — the same team, the same standard.
Maintenance & Urgent Call-outs
We’re there when you need us most. Sudden leaks, blocked drains, no hot water — the jobs that can’t wait until next week, plus the everyday maintenance that stops them happening in the first place.
- Leaks and burst pipes
- Blocked and slow drains
- Hot water cylinder repairs
New Build Plumbing & Renovations
Planning a major upgrade? We plumb new builds from the ground up and re-plumb existing homes — and we’ll happily talk through what will actually work in the space before anyone picks up a tool.
- New build plumbing
- Bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovations
- Advice on making the plan work
Drainlaying & Gasfitting
Drainlaying is half our name. We locate and repair what’s gone wrong underground, lay new drainage, and handle gasfitting alongside it — then leave the ground reinstated properly.
- New drainage laid
- Blockages located and repaired
- Gasfitting

Reviews
What people around here say
“Professional, friendly and did an excellent job. Highly recommend!”
“Stacey and the team were excellent to deal with. Fast service and great value. Highly recommend”
“Amazing service. Mike came out the morning after we messaged him for what we thought was a small blocked drain. He had to spend hours digging in numerous places to find the blockage. In the end all fixed and ground reinstated perfectly. We couldn't speak more highly of the service!”

What you can expect
Why people around here keep our number
The four things we say we’ll do — and the reason the phone keeps ringing.
There when you need us most
Urgent call-outs are a core part of what we do. When something lets go, ring us and we’ll get to you as soon as we can.
Fixed right the first time
We’d rather find the real cause than paper over it — even if that means hours of digging to track down a blockage.
Without the hefty price tag
Plumbing should be simple and affordable for everyone. Tell us what’s happening and we’ll tell you how we can help.
Local, and easy to get hold of
We’re based on Wayside Road in Te Kauwhata. You get a local plumber on the phone, not a call centre.
Good to know
Questions, answered
Do you take urgent call-outs?
Yes — maintenance and urgent call-outs are a core part of what we do. Our workshop hours are Monday to Friday, so if something has let go, ring us early and we’ll get to you as soon as we can.
Water is going everywhere — what do I do right now?
Turn the water off at your toby (the mains valve near your street boundary, usually under a small round cover) or at the cylinder valve if it’s a hot water leak. Then call us on 0274 445 205. Shutting it off first saves the floor and the bill.
What areas do you cover?
We’re based on Wayside Road in Te Kauwhata. Give us a call with your address and we’ll confirm straight away that we can get to you.
Do you do drainlaying and gas as well as plumbing?
We do — drainlaying is half our name. We lay new drainage, locate and repair blockages, and handle gasfitting alongside the plumbing, so one team covers the whole job.
Can you help with a new build or a renovation?
Yes. We plumb new builds from the ground up and re-plumb existing homes for renovations. If you’re still at the planning stage, talk to us early — it’s much cheaper to move a pipe on paper than in a wall.
How much is it going to cost?
We believe plumbing should be simple and affordable for everyone. Tell us what’s going on — the more you can describe, the better an idea we can give you before we arrive.
