Most plumbing, gasfitting and drainlaying work in New Zealand legally requires a tradesperson licensed with the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (PGDB). Every provider in this directory is checked against the PGDB public register before listing. Gasfitting work additionally requires a gas certificate on completion.
Ask each provider for the same three numbers: hourly rate, estimated hours, and materials/callout fees — not one lump sum. Confirm GST is included. Two or three comparable quotes against our published range tells you immediately who's fair.
