Plumbing services we offer in Mt Wellington
We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing for Mount Wellington, from a single leaking tap to a complete renovation fit out. Whatever the job, we aim to do it once and do it right, using quality parts and tidy workmanship.
Hot water cylinder repairs and replacement
Hot water problems are one of the most common reasons people call a plumber. We repair and replace hot water cylinders and systems, including Rheem units, and can advise on the right size and type for your home. If your hot water has failed, we can usually sort it quickly so the household is not left without it.
Blocked drains and leak detection
Blocked drains, slow gullies and hidden leaks are everyday work for us. We locate and clear blockages, find leaks before they cause damage, and fix the cause rather than just the symptom. Catching a small leak early in a Mount Wellington property can save a lot of money and mess later on.
Bathroom, kitchen and renovation plumbing
Renovating a bathroom or kitchen means getting the plumbing right behind the scenes. We install and reroute pipework, fit taps, mixers, basins, showers and appliances, and work in with your builder or tiler so the project runs smoothly. We use trusted fixtures from brands such as Methven for a finish that lasts.
New build and new home plumbing fit outs
For new homes and extensions around Mount Wellington, we provide complete plumbing fit outs, from the rough in through to final connection and testing. Everything is installed to code so your new build is signed off without fuss.
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 Mt Wellington
As certifying gasfitters, we cover gas work as well as plumbing, which many pure plumbers cannot. We repair gas leaks, carry out gas supply safety checks, install new gas lines and connect gas appliances. Gas is not something to take chances with, so it pays to use a qualified, certifying gasfitter who can issue the right certification for the work.
Gas appliance installation and safety checks
Whether you are installing a gas hob, a heater or a gas hot water unit, we make sure it is connected safely and working correctly. If you are unsure about an existing connection or can smell gas, call us straight away for a safety check.
Roofing and spouting in Mt Wellington
Abel is a plumbing and roofing company, so we can look after your roof as well as your pipes. We repair roof leaks, replace and clear spouting and downpipes, treat rust and carry out roof replacements. Being able to handle plumbing, gas and roofing under one roof sets us apart from plumbers who only do one trade, and it means you have a single local team to call when water is getting in where it should not.
Emergency plumber in Mt Wellington
Plumbing emergencies do not wait for business hours. We offer 24/7 urgent callouts across Mount Wellington and East Auckland for burst pipes, blocked toilets, major leaks and hot water failures. If water is flowing where it should not be, turn off the supply at the toby if you can and call us. We turn up to urgent jobs promptly and work to stop the damage and get things back to normal as fast as possible.
Drainage and stormwater in Mt Wellington
Drainage issues become obvious fast, especially in Auckland’s heavy rain. We clear and repair blocked drains, sort out stormwater drains and downpipe connections, and deal with the slow draining and pooling that older Mount Wellington properties can suffer from. Sorting drainage properly protects your foundations, paths and gardens from water damage over the long term.
