Featured Review

A recent job, told by the customer

The team turned up on scheduled time and successfully replaced our 42 year old hot water cylinder.. As well as the plumbing, this required some careful carpentry since the new cylinder is very different to the old one.. Highly recommended.

Hot water

I was referred to Whitehead plumbing by a friend and after a very positive experience, I’m very happy to recommend them too! Aaron, Jed and Gene are top guys, they know their stuff and are personable, professional and did an excellent job installing our new heatpump hotwater cylinder and chlorine filter.

Rung on a Thursday regarding a unidentified leak in the back yard, under patio. James arrived to help diagnose, refereed a detection agency, got them around and a spot was identified, came back next morning and finished the job! Great speed, James was informative and helpful. Just a great interaction all around!

Drainlaying

I can't thank the guy's from Whitehead Plumbing & Gas enough! We had a completely blocked drain, and the pipe ran in the most inaccessible place imaginable, under a deck built directly over all the plumbing. They expertly navigated this challenge, clearing the blockage without causing any damage. Their professionalism and skill were outstanding and they saved us from a major headache. I would absolutely 100% recommend them to anyone. If you need a plumber who can handle the toughest jobs, this is the company to call.

Jed represented the company very well when he installed our new gas oven. He had a friendly professional manner and dealt easily with any queries we had. He was clearly very skilled carrying out the installation. A pleasure to work with. Many thanks. Kevin and Linda Smith.

Plumbing

Our organisation used Whitehead at very short notice. Not only were they available but the plumber was very professional as we work with vulnerable people and having others in their homes is often difficult. The plumber communicated really well with me and our tenant. Really happy with the service provided, was reasonably priced too!

Great work. Our old dish-draw was very difficult to uninstall, and the technician did excellent job removing the old one and installing a new dishwasher. Excellent service received from Admin team too.
