In New Zealand, gasfitting work legally has to be done by a licensed gasfitter.

A poor connection or an unlicensed repair can cause gas leaks, fires, or carbon monoxide poisoning, which can be fatal.

Our team is fully qualified to handle gas installations, repairs, and servicing for homes and businesses across Canterbury.

If you're ever unsure whether a job needs a licensed gasfitter, the safe answer is yes. Call us on 03 379 0711 or visit https://whiteheadplumbing.co.nz

Some plumbing and gas jobs are just plumbing and gas jobs.

At Summerset Reitrement Villages, they're not. Between the kitchen, laundry, pool, and every tap and hot water outlet in between, everything has to work every day, without fail, for people who can't afford disruption.

That's not maintenance. That's a standard of care.

South Africa for the safari. Japan for the history. Rarotonga because it's always sunny.

Turns out our crew are as well-travelled in their dreams as they are on the job.

To become a Master Plumbers member, a business has to hold the industry's highest qualifications, pass a full business and quality review, and carry public liability insurance. Members then pass annual quality checks to keep their status.

Residential work done by members also comes with a 12-month Master Plumbers Guarantee of up to $20,000 (terms apply).

We're proud members, and it's one more way we stand behind our work across Canterbury.

The east side water. The chlorine. The taste.

Our team reckons every home in Christchurch should have a water filter — and honestly, they make a fair point. 💧

Better taste. Better for your skin. Better full stop.

Plumbing usually only gets attention once something's gone wrong. A periodic check can catch small issues before they turn into expensive ones.

Older pipework, ageing seals, and worn fittings often show warning signs well before they fail.

For most homes, a general check every few years is enough. Go more often if your property is older or has had problems before.

If it's been a while since anyone looked at yours, now's a good time to book one. Call us on 03 379 0711 or visit https://whiteheadplumbing.co.nz.

The cistern is what makes every flush work. It refills between flushes and holds the water that clears the bowl.

Plenty of older cisterns are still single-flush, though, and they use far more water per flush than a modern dual-flush model.

If yours is due for an upgrade, it's one of the easier ways to cut water use, and nothing about your daily routine changes.

A lot of people assume low water pressure means a new shower head or tapware. Sometimes that's true, but just as often the real cause is further back in the system, in the pipework, the valve, or even the council supply itself.

Guessing at a fix can mean spending money on the wrong problem. If your pressure has dropped and you're not sure why, we can find the actual cause before you replace anything.

If your property has a pool, spa, underground irrigation, or a similar higher-risk connection, Christchurch City Council requires an annual test by a qualified person, and it's easy to lose track of when it was last done. Commercial and industrial properties have their own requirements too.

Our team carries out backflow testing and can confirm whether your property needs it.

Plumbing fixtures are usually the last thing on anyone's list, until something starts playing up.

If you had to pick one room to sort first, would it be the bathroom or the kitchen?

We're curious which one Canterbury homes are tackling first.

Whichever it is, we're around if either one needs more than a quick fix.
