Victorian villas need a plumber who understands old houses. Water & Gas Worx — qualified plumber and gasfitter for Ponsonby's character homes and modern apartments.
Call Now — We'll Sort It 0800 322 322Ponsonby is one of Auckland's most desirable suburbs — and one of the most challenging for plumbing. Those beautiful Victorian and Edwardian villas from the 1890s to 1920s look incredible, but underneath the renovated kitchens and polished floors, many are still running on original galvanised steel pipes and clay drains that are well past their use-by date.
Water & Gas Worx handles the full spectrum — from a dripping tap in a Jervois Road villa to a complete re-pipe of a character home on Williamson Ave. Plumbing AND gasfitting. Water & Gas Worx — the clue's in the name.
We know what we're walking into with Ponsonby properties. The flat conversions with bodged plumbing stacked on top of each other. The lead service lines still connecting some older homes to the mains. The narrow access under villas where previous plumbers have left a mess of patch jobs spanning decades. We don't just fix the symptom — we sort the actual problem.
Galvanised pipes restricting your flow and turning your water brown? We re-pipe in copper or PEX, working carefully around original timber framing and minimising damage to your home.
Ponsonby's old clay drains crack, collapse, and fill with tree roots. We clear blockages, CCTV inspect the line, and reline or replace damaged sections. No more band-aid fixes.
Ponsonby has reticulated gas on most streets. Gas hobs, califonts, fireplaces, bayonet points — installed and certified. We issue compliance certs on the spot.
Electric, gas, or continuous flow — we match the system to your villa. Gas califonts are popular in Ponsonby for endless hot water and space saving. Same-day replacements available.
Renovating a Ponsonby villa? We handle all plumbing and gas for bathroom and kitchen upgrades. New pipe runs, waste relocations, gas connections — coordinated with your builder.
Auckland Council requires testable backflow devices on many Ponsonby properties. We install, test, and certify — keeping you compliant and your water safe.
Yep — Grey Lynn, Mt Eden, Parnell, Newmarket, and all of Auckland.
Ponsonby isn't like a new subdivision where every house has the same plumbing. Every property has its own history and its own set of problems. Here's what we deal with regularly:
We work on character homes regularly. We know what's behind the walls and under the floors of Auckland's oldest suburbs.
We schedule Ponsonby jobs efficiently and we're always on time. When we say we'll be there, we're there.
You'll always know where you stand. Fair pricing, no hidden extras.
Registered plumber and certified gasfitter. Everything done to code, every time.
Dripping tap or full villa re-pipe — we don't cherry-pick the big jobs. We turn up for all of them.
Call, text, or fill out the form. You talk to the actual tradesman, not a call centre.
That's a big part of what we do. Ponsonby villas from the 1890s-1920s come with galvanised pipes, clay drains, and sometimes lead service lines. We deal with all of it — re-pipes, drain relining, and bringing old plumbing up to modern standards without wrecking the character of your home.
That's bread and butter for us. We install, service, and certify all gas appliances.
We quote before we start — no surprises. Villa plumbing can be unpredictable once you open up walls, so we give you an honest assessment upfront and keep you informed if anything changes. Call 0800 322 322.
Absolutely. Full and partial re-pipes in copper or PEX. We work carefully around native timber framing and can route new pipes with minimal damage to original features. It's one of the most common jobs we do in Ponsonby.
