Flush & Flow is fully licensed and registered with the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (PGDB) — New Zealand's official regulator for the plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying trades.
By law, most plumbing and drainlaying work — and all gasfitting work — must be carried out by someone registered with the PGDB.

Can you repair or replace a heat pump hot water system?
Yes — we install, service and repair heat pump hot water cylinders as well as standard and gas hot water cylinders, and can advise on the best option for your household.
How much does a hot water cylinder cost in NZ?
It depends on the cylinder type (electric, gas continuous-flow, or heat pump), size and installation complexity. We provide a free, no-obligation quote after seeing your current setup so you get an accurate price, not a rough estimate.
Why is my water pressure low in Christchurch?
Low water pressure can come from a partially closed valve, a build-up in old pipework, a faulty pressure-limiting valve, or an issue with the council supply. We can diagnose the cause and fix it — call 027 811 5916 or request a quote.
Do I need a building consent for plumbing or gas work in NZ?
It depends on the scope of the job — straightforward like-for-like plumbing and gas work carried out by a certifying tradesperson often doesn't need consent, but larger jobs involving structural changes or moving fixtures can. We'll tell you upfront if your job needs one.
How can I clear a blocked sink myself?
Try a plunger or a mix of hot water and dish soap first, and avoid harsh chemical drain cleaners, which can damage older pipework. If it keeps blocking or won't clear, that usually points to a deeper blockage — call 027 811 5916 and we'll sort it properly.
