Plumbing and gas services across West Christchurch
The west of the city covers a lot of ground: student flats and rentals around the university, established family homes in Avonhead, Burnside and Bryndwr, new subdivisions in Wigram, and the commercial and industrial areas of Hornby, Sockburn and Islington.
Rentals and flats: Riccarton, Upper Riccarton, Ilam
- Landlord and property manager work. We can arrange access with tenants directly and report back to you with photos and an itemised invoice. See residential plumbing.
- Gas safety certificates for gas work we've done, commonly wanted at a change of tenancy or sale.
- Converted houses and flats where extra bathrooms were added onto supply that was never sized for them, so the pressure collapses when two things run at once.
Family homes: Avonhead, Burnside, Bryndwr, Fendalton
- Hot water cylinders reaching the end of their life, and upgrades to mains pressure, gas or heat pump hot water. See heat pump hot water.
- Bathroom and kitchen renovations, with the plumbing and gas done properly and signed off. See renovation plumbing.

- New build and sleepout plumbing in the newer subdivisions. See new builds and sleepouts.
