Your local Penrose plumbers, based next door in Onehunga
Penrose sits right on Abel Plumbing’s doorstep. Our workshop and team are based in Onehunga, the suburb directly alongside Penrose, so when you call we are only minutes away. That proximity matters when a pipe bursts, a hot water cylinder fails or a roof starts leaking. We know the area, we know the older housing and the commercial and industrial buildings that make up much of Penrose, and we can be on site quickly.
Abel Plumbing and Roofing has served Aucklanders since 1962. Over those six decades we have built a reputation for honest workmanship and reliable service, with many customers coming back to us year after year. We are a genuine local business, not a national call centre, and the same experienced team handles your job from the first phone call to the finished work.
Plumbing services we offer in Penrose
Plumbing is the heart of what we do. Whether it is a quick repair, a planned upgrade or a full fit out, our Penrose plumbers cover the full range of residential and commercial work. We use quality parts, explain what needs doing in plain language, and leave the site tidy.
Hot water cylinder repairs and replacement
No hot water, or a cylinder that is leaking or overflowing? We repair and replace hot water cylinders across Penrose, helping you choose the right system for your home and installing it correctly so it lasts.
Blocked drains, drain unblocking and relining
Blocked drains are one of the most common calls we get. We clear blockages, carry out CCTV drain inspections to find the cause, and offer drain relining where a pipe needs repair without major excavation.
Tap, toilet and tapware repairs
Dripping taps, running or overflowing toilets and worn tapware waste water and money. We repair and replace taps, mixers, toilets and tapware quickly and neatly.
Leak detection and burst pipe repair
A hidden leak can quietly drive up your water bill and damage your home. We track down leaks, repair burst pipes and check your water meter and main where a leak is suspected.
Backflow prevention and testing
Backflow prevention protects your drinking water supply. Our certifying plumbers install, test and service backflow prevention devices to keep your property compliant and safe.
New builds, renovations and commercial plumbing
From new home fit outs and renovation plumbing to maintenance for commercial and industrial sites around Penrose, we handle larger projects with the same care as a small repair. We are happy to work in alongside builders and to quote planned work in advance.
Gasfitting in Penrose
Gas work must be carried out safely and correctly by the right tradesperson. Our team covers gasfitting across Penrose, from gas safety checks and supply inspections through to leak repairs and new gas line installation. If you can smell gas or suspect a leak, call us straight away and avoid using the appliance until it has been checked.
Gas appliance installation and safety checks
We install and service gas appliances and heating, carry out gas supply safety checks, and make sure everything is connected and certified properly. Whether you are adding gas hot water, a hob or a heater, we will get it done to standard.
Roofing and spouting in Penrose
Roofing sets Abel apart from plumbers who only handle pipes. Because we cover roofing as well, you can use one trusted local team for the work above your head and below your floor. We repair roof leaks, replace and clear spouting and downpipes, treat rust, and carry out roof repairs, maintenance and full roof replacement for Penrose homes and businesses.
Catching a roof problem early saves money. If you have noticed staining on a ceiling, overflowing gutters or a leak after heavy rain, we can inspect the roof and spouting and recommend the most sensible fix.
