THE WORKSHOP WALL
“Dewaters will see you right every time — a great job at a competitive price.”— HOW WE DESCRIBE OURSELVES, HONESTLY
01 — SERVICES
Nine things, done properly.
Continuous gas hot water conversions
Our speciality. The old cylinder goes, a compact continuous-flow gas unit goes on the wall — endless hot water, optional temperature controllers, and the laundry cupboard back. Most conversions finished in a day.
Mains pressure cylinder replacements
No gas on your street? A new mains pressure cylinder delivers high-pressure hot water off the existing supply, sized to your household rather than the catalogue.
Gasfitting
Certified gas fitters for hot water, cooktops and kitchen appliances, new builds and renovations. Licensed, legal, signed off.
General plumbing
Residential and commercial maintenance, repairs and installs. If it carries water, we fix it or fit it.
Bathroom & kitchen renovations
Full plumbing for refits — rough-in to fit-off, with waste and water moved to wherever the new design needs them.
New home builds
Complete plumbing, drainage and gasfitting packages, coordinated with your builder from slab to handover.
New toilet installations
Supply and install in a single visit. The small jobs carry the same workmanship guarantee as the big ones.
Backflow prevention
Supply, install and annual testing of backflow devices — protecting the water network, and a legal requirement for many commercial sites.
Water filters
For everyone asking about Christchurch water chlorination: quality filters supplied and installed on your existing tap.
02 — TWO SIDES OF THE BUSINESS

05 — RECENT JOB TYPES
The week, vertically.
The cylinder-to-gas swap
Out with a 20-year-old low-pressure cylinder, in with a wall-hung continuous-flow unit. Same hot water for the fourth shower as the first — and a free cupboard.
Mains pressure, sized right
A growing family, no gas to the street. New mains pressure cylinder matched to five people and two showers — proper pressure everywhere.
Renovation rough-in
Bathroom and ensuite refit: every waste, water and mixer point set exactly where the new layout needed them, before the walls closed.
Backflow compliance
Device supply, install and certification for a commercial site — the unglamorous work that keeps the water network legal and safe.
06 — NUMBERS & TRUST
Counted, honestly.

08 — FAQ
Asked often.
Do you do gas hot water conversions?
Yes — it is our speciality. We swap old cylinders for continuous-flow gas units: compact, wall-hung, temperature-controlled, with hot water that virtually never runs out. Supply, install, flue, commissioning and certification by certified gas fitters.
Gas or electric — which suits my house?
It depends on gas availability at your street. Gas means endless hot water and usually lower running costs; without gas, a correctly sized mains pressure electric cylinder is the right call. We check both and quote honestly.
Are you certified?
Yes. Certified plumbers and gas fitters, members of Master Plumbers New Zealand, with a 100% workmanship guarantee. Gas work is signed off as required by law.
Which areas do you cover?
Christchurch and surrounding areas — central suburbs out to Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Rolleston and Lincoln. On the edge? Just ask.
