Gas hot water systems
Enjoy steady temperature and strong pressure with a right‑sized gas hot water solution. We design and install continuous flow systems, mains pressure cylinders and boiler‑fed arrangements to suit household demand and commercial usage. Correct flueing, ventilation and isolation are built into the plan, and we match pipe sizing and regulators to your supply so appliances operate within specification. If you are replacing an ageing cylinder, we will assess space, gas availability and water quality before recommending the most cost‑effective upgrade.
Indoor and outdoor decorative gas fires
Kitchen hobs and ovens
Whether you are building new or renovating, we install gas hobs and ovens with precise attention to jetting, regulators, ventilation and isolation points. If you are switching from electric to gas, we will confirm bench cut‑outs, cabinetry clearances and splashback protection, then connect and test each burner and oven function as part of a documented handover. For commercial kitchens, we size supply and ventilation to demand and coordinate staging to minimise downtime.
Gas conversions and upgrades
Upgrading to gas can deliver faster hot water recovery, responsive cooking and, in many cases, lower running costs. We convert electric cylinders to continuous flow or gas cylinders, replace tired appliances with modern, efficient models, and convert hobs between LPG and reticulated natural gas where network supply is available. Your quote outlines any wall penetrations, flue routes and bottle pad requirements so there are no surprises on the day.
Safety, compliance and documentation
All gas work in New Zealand must be carried out and certified by licensed practitioners. We handle safety checks, pressure tests, leakage testing, appliance commissioning and the certification your project needs for council and insurance records. If you would like to confirm a practitioner’s credentials at any time, you can use the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board public register here: PGDB - Public register

We are based in Blenheim and service the Greater Marlborough Area - including the Sounds. Regular locations include Blenheim, Picton, Renwick, Havelock, Seddon, Ward, Spring Creek and Wairau Valley.
Maintenance and servicing
Annual servicing keeps gas appliances efficient and safe. We check burners, flues and seals, verify regulators and valves, confirm ventilation and carbon monoxide safety, and provide a short report with any recommended actions. For hot water systems we descale heat exchangers where appropriate and confirm temperature control settings for comfort and energy efficiency. Scheduling routine maintenance reduces unexpected breakdowns and extends appliance life.

Most domestic gasfitting does not require building consent, but it must be carried out by a licensed gasfitter and certified with the correct documentation. We will advise you at the outset if any element of your scope triggers consent and will coordinate with your project team to keep paperwork tidy.
Yes. We work with both fuel types. We confirm supply type early, size pipework and regulators accordingly, and ensure appliances are correctly jetted. If you change fuel type later, we can usually convert or replace jets and adjust the installation to suit.
We consider simultaneous demand, bathroom count, pipe lengths, inlet water temperature and desired outlet temperature. The goal is consistent flow and stable temperature without over‑capitalising. We will present a right‑sized option for your household or site.
We plan logistics carefully around tides and weather, consolidate deliveries, and sequence works to make the most of each visit. Our aim is to minimise trips while still meeting safety and quality standards.
Most manufacturers recommend annual servicing. We line this up with your schedule and keep simple records so you have proof of maintenance for insurance or warranty purposes.
