Auckland's oldest suburb deserves a plumber who respects heritage — and knows how to fix what's behind those 180-year-old walls. Water & Gas Worx.
Call Now — We'll Sort It 0800 322 322Parnell is Auckland's oldest suburb — settled in the 1840s, with some of the city's most significant heritage buildings still standing. That history is beautiful, but from a plumbing perspective, it means Parnell has some of the oldest pipes in Auckland. We're talking lead service lines, galvanised steel, cast iron waste pipes, and clay drains that have been in the ground for over a century.
Water & Gas Worx handles everything from heritage re-pipes and lead pipe replacements to gasfitting and modern hot water upgrades. Plumbing and gas under one roof. That's the whole point.
Parnell properties demand care. The grand homes along Parnell Road and St Stephens Ave with their original features. The steep terrain running down to the waterfront that creates pressure and drainage challenges. The mix of heritage cottages, Victorian villas, and modern luxury apartments along The Strand. Every property has its own story, and usually its own plumbing surprises.
Lead, galvanised, and cast iron pipes replaced with modern copper or PEX. We work meticulously around heritage features — no unnecessary damage to your home's character.
Parnell's old clay and earthenware drains crack, collapse, and fill with roots. We clear, CCTV inspect, and reline or replace. The steep terrain adds complexity — we plan for it.
Parnell has reticulated gas. Gas fireplaces, hobs, califonts, and outdoor heating — installed, serviced, and certified. Compliance certs on the spot.
Electric, gas, or continuous flow — matched to your home. Many Parnell homes have oversized heritage cylinders that are well past replacement. We upgrade to modern, efficient systems.
Parnell renovations tend to be high-spec. We handle all plumbing for premium bathroom and kitchen upgrades — rain showers, freestanding baths, undermount basins, the lot.
Council requires testable backflow devices on many Parnell properties, especially those with irrigation systems. We install, test, and certify.
Yep — Newmarket, Remuera, Ponsonby, and all of Auckland.
