State houses, galv pipes, and poly-B failures. Water & Gas Worx — the plumber and gasfitter who sorts Manukau's plumbing problems properly.
Call Now — We'll Sort It 0800 322 322Manukau is one of South Auckland's biggest suburbs — and one of the busiest for plumbing work. The area has a massive stock of 1950s-1970s state houses with galvanised steel pipes that are well past their lifespan, alongside 1990s-2000s homes with polybutylene (poly-B) pipes that are known to fail without warning. Then there's the Kainga Ora redevelopments bringing new housing that needs plumbing from scratch.
Water & Gas Worx handles everything — re-pipes, poly-B replacements, hot water cylinders, gasfitting, and drainage. Plumbing AND gas. Water and gas — it's what we do.
We know Manukau's housing stock. The state houses along Wiri Station Road and Barrowcliffe Place with their original galv pipes. The newer developments around Manukau Central and along the train line. The 1990s builds in Randwick Park and Clendon where poly-B is a ticking time bomb. Whatever era your home is from, we know what to look for.
State house galvanised pipes — corroded, restricted, leaking. We re-pipe in copper or PEX, restoring full water pressure and clean water throughout your home.
Grey polybutylene pipes from the 1990s split without warning. If your Manukau home was built between 1988-2005, get it checked before it floods. We inspect and replace.
Gas hobs, califonts, heaters, bayonet points — installed, serviced, and certified. We handle new gas connections and upgrades throughout Manukau.
Old electric cylinder leaking or not heating? We replace with electric, gas, or continuous flow. Many Manukau homes have cylinders that are 20+ years overdue.
Old earthenware drains, tree root intrusion, and aging waste pipes. We clear, camera inspect, and repair — fixing the cause, not just clearing the blockage.
Kainga Ora and private developments are transforming Manukau. Full plumbing and gas rough-in for new residential builds. We work with developers and builders.
Yep — Papatoetoe, Mangere, Papakura, and all of Auckland.

All the time. Manukau has a massive stock of 1950s-1970s state houses with galvanised pipes, old cylinders, and aging drainage. We re-pipe, replace cylinders, and bring plumbing up to modern standards. We also work on Kainga Ora properties and their redevelopments.
That's bread and butter for us. We install, service, and certify all gas appliances.
Polybutylene (poly-B) is a grey plastic pipe used in NZ homes from the late 1980s to early 2000s. It degrades over time and splits suddenly — often behind walls or under floors, causing serious water damage. If your Manukau home was built in the 1990s, there's a good chance it has poly-B. We inspect, identify, and replace it before it causes a flood.
We quote before we start — no surprises. Fair pricing for honest work. Call 0800 322 322.
