Our plumbing expertise

When replacing or installing a new hot water cylinder it’s not just about choosing the cylinder brand, size and type. With us, we provide the full, comprehensive plumbing service.

This includes advising and guiding you on:

  • The best solution for your household
  • Mains pressure vs low-pressure cylinders
  • Energy efficiency setup options, e.g. shower heads and temperature controls
  • Cylinder location/s and set up (indoors vs outdoors).
  • Stainless steel vs metal enamel vs copper
  • Maintenance of the sacrificial anode (for vitreous enamel cylinders)

As part of our new hot water cylinder installation service, we do a thorough performance test to ensure the water pressure and the system is working optimally.

Plus, all cylinders are earthquake strapped, with your hot water pipes fully insulated to improve energy efficiency.

We turned to Plumb after our experience with a previous plumbing company left us dismayed at their poor communication, selective interpretation of reality [and a selective memory], and a disturbing ability to charge like a wounded bill [despite their work being excellent]. Plumb: - Communicates effectively - Isn't disconnected from reality - Charges fairly and clearly communicates costs. With respect to the plumber who attended the job. Arthur was - in a word - awesome. He explained things clearly and demonstrated quick/ emergency fixes to ameliorate having to deal with another flood Was good humoured, patient and didn't make me feel like an idiot when I missed obvious problems in lodging the call. As I said to him at the time, training is great, but experience wins out every time. Would use Plumb again. Would recommend a 100%

Couldn't recommend highly enough! Craig came out on a Sunday to fix my leaking hot water cylinder, was upfront about the cost from the start and went above and beyond. He was friendly, great to chat to and took the time to show me where my water mains were and how to turn everything off in an emergency. I also really appreciated how fair and reasonable his pricing was after having recently paid another plumbing company more to replace a couple of toilet parts on a regular weekday. I can see why Plumb Plumbing has a five-star Google rating, I'm glad I trusted the reviews - thanks Craig!

Really happy with the service from Craig and Julie. There was an unexpected issue during the plumbing work, but they took the time to look into it and explain everything clearly.

Absolutely fantastic service! We had an external cylinder installed at our house, and we couldn’t be happier with the job. Craig was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly knew his stuff. He took the time to explain everything he had done, answered all our questions, and even taught us a thing or two about plumbing along the way. Craig was honest, approachable, professional, and gave us complete confidence that the job was being done properly by someone who was both capable and qualified. It’s not often you come across someone who genuinely takes pride in their work and makes the whole process so easy. I would highly recommend Craig to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable plumber.
