Aquapro Group is a Christchurch-based plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting company that has been serving residential and commercial clients across Christchurch and Canterbury since 2009. Founded by Keith and Rochelle Foster — Keith initially working from the back of an old station wagon with Rochelle managing the accounts — the business has grown from a team of two to a team of 30+ over 15 years, becoming a recognised name in the Canterbury construction and infrastructure sector.
Aquapro is a Master Plumbers New Zealand member and consistently achieves 100% SiteWise Gold for health and safety — credentials that reflect the standard the company holds itself to across all work, from individual residential repairs through to major commercial and infrastructure projects. The team includes Certifying Plumbers, Certifying Gas Fitters, and Certifying Drainlayers, supported by Registered tradespeople and Apprentices.
The service offering spans plumbing (installations, maintenance, emergency repairs, new builds), drainage (blockages, new builds, civil infrastructure), gas fitting (gas hot water, cooking, and heating installation and servicing), and water filtration and hot water heat pump systems. A dedicated maintenance division operates with 24/7 response availability for planned and reactive maintenance across residential homes, commercial properties, malls, hotels, and farms.
On the commercial side, Aquapro has completed projects for tier one construction firms and council infrastructure work. Notable projects include FENZ fire stations, He Puna Taimoana New Brighton Hot Pools, Westfield Albany, and Hamilton City Council's Peacocke Southern Gullies infrastructure. Quotes can be requested by phone, email, or via the contact form on their website.
Aquapro Group has been one of Christchurch's most established plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting businesses since Keith Foster started the company in 2009 — originally from the back of an old station wagon, with Keith working on the tools and co-owner Rochelle Foster managing the accounts. Sixteen years later, the business has grown to a team of 30+ and handles everything from residential maintenance calls to large-scale commercial and infrastructure projects across Christchurch and Canterbury.
The company is a member of Master Plumbers New Zealand and consistently achieves SiteWise Gold for health and safety — both indicators of the standard Aquapro holds itself to across all work, regardless of scale. Their office is based at Unit 2/11 Seven Mile Drive in Belfast, Christchurch.
Aquapro covers the full range of plumbing, drainage, and gas fitting needs. On the residential side, that includes new installations, renovations, ongoing maintenance, and emergency repairs. Hot water systems — including heat pump hot water — are a dedicated service area, alongside water filtration. For gas, Aquapro's certifying gas fitters handle installation and servicing of gas hot water, cooking, and heating systems.
The drainage team, led by Allan Waldron with 35 years of experience, handles everything from blocked drains through to new builds and large civil infrastructure projects. Their portfolio includes the Westfield Albany project and Hamilton City Council's Peacocke Southern Gullies infrastructure works. Aquapro's commercial division works with tier one construction firms and has completed council infrastructure projects as well as high-profile builds such as FENZ fire stations and He Puna Taimoana New Brighton Hot Pools.
Maintenance is treated as a dedicated service stream rather than an afterthought. George Winter leads the maintenance team with 24/7 response availability, covering everything from individual tap washer changes through to planned and reactive maintenance programmes for commercial malls, hotels, and farms.
The Aquapro team's depth of experience is a genuine point of difference. Operations Manager Martin Eade brings 40 years in the plumbing and gas industry, with over 10 spent at Aquapro. Drainage Manager Allan Waldron has 35 years of drainage experience. Estimator Paul Morris handles detailed tender pricing with a focus on value-engineering opportunities for clients.
The team includes Certifying Plumbers, Certifying Gas Fitters, and Certifying Drainlayers working alongside Registered tradespeople and Apprentices — a structure that reflects Aquapro's stated commitment to investing in industry training. The business actively recruits and develops apprentices as part of a long-term growth strategy.
Customer feedback highlights responsiveness as a consistent strength — particularly for urgent situations. Clients have noted same-week resolution of hot water issues, prompt isolation of emergency leaks, and friendly, clear communication from the team at every stage.
