Old pipes failing in your CBD apartment or commercial building? We replace aging pipe systems with modern copper or PEX — better flow, cleaner water, no more leaks.

After decades of use, these pipes corrode from the inside, restricting water flow and causing leaks.
Apartment blocks near the Sky Tower, Britomart, and Aotea Square often need full re-pipes when buildings undergo renovation. Heritage buildings converted to residential around Auckland University regularly need their original pipework replaced as part of conversion projects.
We replace old pipes with copper or PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) — both are proven, long-lasting materials that won't corrode. Every re-pipe job starts with a full assessment so we can map the existing pipework and quote accurately before any work begins.
Brown or rusty water — corroded pipes shedding rust into the water supply.
Low water pressure — rust buildup narrows the pipe bore, starving taps and showers of flow.
Pinhole leaks — small leaks appearing in walls or ceilings as corrosion eats through pipe walls.
Banging or rattling pipes — loose corroded fittings and weakened pipe supports.
Pipes over 40 years old — many CBD buildings have original pipework well past its lifespan.
Frequent repairs — if you're patching leaks regularly, a full re-pipe saves money long-term.
A re-pipe for a CBD apartment depends on the size and pipe material. Commercial buildings are quoted per project. We assess first and provide a fixed quote — no hourly rate surprises.
Most single-apartment re-pipe jobs take 1-2 days. Larger commercial buildings are staged over multiple days to minimise disruption. We keep water running as long as possible.
Both are excellent choices. Copper is the traditional option with a proven 50+ year track record. PEX is flexible, faster to install, and often more cost-effective for apartments where pipes run through tight spaces. We'll recommend the best option after assessment.
Like-for-like pipe replacement generally doesn't need building consent. If we're changing the pipe layout significantly, we'll handle the consent process for you. Body corporate approval may be needed in apartment buildings.
