Canterbury Plumbing & Gas has been operating as a family-owned and operated company since its incorporation in 2015, serving Christchurch, Selwyn, Rolleston and the surrounding areas. The business is built around a small team of licensed plumbers and gas fitters who take on everything from new home builds and renovations through to gas conversions, commercial work, and everyday maintenance and repairs.
The company promotes itself around fixed pricing, full service, and guaranteed workmanship — an approach aimed at giving customers clarity before a job begins. It describes its top priority as delivering first-class service that surpasses expectations, backed by what it calls a wealth of knowledge to help customers find efficient, creative solutions at competitive prices.
Gas work is a core part of the business, covering gas leak repairs, gas fitting for cooking installations, and gas fitting for new builds. The company specialises in gas hot water conversions, helping customers move from an old electric hot water cylinder to a more efficient gas system, with fixed quotes available for the changeover. It also installs, upgrades and maintains both electric and gas hot water cylinders, covering mains and low-pressure systems, and supplies and installs water filtration systems for homes and commercial premises.
On the plumbing side, Canterbury Plumbing & Gas covers bathroom installations and renovations, general home renovation projects, ongoing maintenance and repairs, new build plumbing, and commercial plumbing work — whether that's a pesky water leak, a dream bathroom renovation, or a new home project.
The company holds an Excellent rating based on 27 Google reviews, and customer feedback consistently names Matt, describing him as punctual, communicative and efficient. One reviewer described a gas conversion completed efficiently and cost-effectively, while another said their job was done "meticulously within a day." Several reviews highlight fast response times: one customer described a leaking ceiling being fixed before breakfast after Matt arrived by 6:45am on a Saturday morning following an early call, while another noted next-day service after calling to confirm timing.
Reviewers also point to value for money — one described Matt carefully explaining options and saving money by reusing existing components rather than replacing them unnecessarily, while another contrasted the company favourably against a competing gasfitter after a poor experience elsewhere.
Canterbury Plumbing & Gas is recognised as a Featured Plumber on TopChoice Christchurch, a local directory highlighting tradespeople in the area.
