Character villas, dodgy old pipes, and decades of patch jobs. Water & Gas Worx — the plumber and gasfitter who sorts it properly.
Call Now — We'll Sort It 0800 322 322Grey Lynn is villa country. Streets lined with beautiful 1900s-1920s weatherboard homes that have been renovated, subdivided, converted into flats, and patched up by generations of tradesmen — some better than others. Under all that character is some of Auckland's oldest plumbing, and it shows.
Water & Gas Worx handles everything from galvanised pipe replacements and clay drain repairs to gas hob installs and hot water cylinder upgrades. Plumbing and gas under one roof. That's the whole point.
Grey Lynn properties have their own personality. The villas on Richmond Road and Surrey Crescent with original pipe runs still intact. The do-ups along Williamson Ave where someone's tried to modernise but left half the old plumbing behind. The newer townhouses on Great North Road that need gas connections. Whatever it is, we've worked on houses just like yours.
Brown water, low pressure, leaking joints — classic signs your galv pipes are done. We re-pipe in copper or PEX with minimal disruption to your villa's original features.
Old clay pipes under Grey Lynn villas are magnets for tree roots. We clear the blockage, CCTV the drain to find the real problem, and reline or replace what's broken.
Grey Lynn has reticulated gas throughout. Gas hobs, califonts, fireplaces, bayonet points — installed, serviced, and certified. Compliance certs issued on the spot.
Old electric cylinder on its last legs? We replace with electric, gas, or continuous flow. Gas califonts are a popular upgrade in Grey Lynn — endless hot water, smaller footprint.
Many older Grey Lynn properties have stormwater and wastewater running into the same pipe. Council wants them separated. We disconnect, reroute, and bring it up to code.
Renovating a Grey Lynn villa? We handle all the plumbing and gas — new pipe runs, waste relocations, gas connections. We work with your builder or direct with you.
Yep — Ponsonby, Mt Eden, Newmarket, and all of Auckland.

All the time — it's one of our most common jobs in Grey Lynn. We re-pipe in copper or PEX, working carefully around original timber framing. Most villa re-pipes can be done in a day or two with minimal disruption.
That's bread and butter for us. We install, service, and certify all gas appliances.
We quote before we start. Old villa plumbing can throw surprises once you open up walls, but we give you an honest assessment upfront and keep you in the loop if anything changes. Call 0800 322 322.
Yes — it's increasingly common in Grey Lynn as Council progressively requires separation. We disconnect stormwater from the wastewater line, install new drainage as needed, and bring everything up to current code.
