Plumb Fast Ltd.: Trusted Plumbers Serving Christchurch and North Canterbury

For nearly five decades, Plumb Fast has been the name Christchurch homeowners and businesses turn to when something goes wrong with their plumbing — or when it's time for something new.

A Team Built for Both Homes and Businesses

Plumb Fast's registered plumbers handle the full spectrum of plumbing work, from a dripping kitchen tap to a complete commercial kitchen fit-out. On the residential side, that means everything from general repairs and maintenance through to full kitchen and bathroom renovations, hot water cylinder installations, and water filter fitting. On the commercial side, the team supports restaurants and cafes, office buildings, aged care and healthcare facilities, schools, and retail and hospitality venues with tailored plumbing solutions that keep operations running smoothly.

Specialists in Commercial Kitchens

Commercial kitchens operate under strict food safety regulations and tight schedules, and Plumb Fast has built specific expertise around this space. The team handles grease trap installation and maintenance, dishwasher and commercial sink connections, backflow prevention, water temperature control, and drainage and waste system installation. Understanding health department codes is part of the job, and the team works discreetly around a kitchen's operating hours to minimise disruption — with fast-response support available for existing clients facing urgent repairs.

Keeping Hot Water Flowing

Hot water cylinder work is one of Plumb Fast's specialities, covering fault diagnosis, worn element replacement, and new cylinder installations, including earthquake-safe setups suited to Christchurch's seismic considerations. The team also handles leak detection and burst pipe repairs, using modern diagnostic tools to locate hidden leaks quickly before they cause serious water damage to a home or business.

Renovations and New Builds

For those planning a kitchen or bathroom renovation, Plumb Fast coordinates the plumbing side of the project from start to finish, whether it's a full redesign or a simple fixture refresh. The company also offers end-to-end plumbing design and project management for new commercial builds and renovations, coordinating with architects, builders and subcontractors on everything from fixture installation to backflow prevention, HVAC and electrical integration, and final inspection documentation.

Preventive Maintenance Plans

Beyond one-off repairs, Plumb Fast offers tailored plumbing maintenance plans for offices, schools, healthcare facilities and commercial buildings. These preventive programmes include routine inspections and system checks, water pressure and temperature testing, hot water system servicing, leak detection, drain cleaning, and fixture and fitting replacements — designed to catch small issues before they become costly problems.

Certified, Guaranteed Workmanship

Plumb Fast's plumbers are registered and certified, and the company backs its work with a five-year workmanship warranty and IQP (Independently Qualified Person) registration. The business has also been recognised by Handyman Reviewed and Top Reviews as among the best plumbers in Christchurch.
