About Simply Plumbing
Simply Plumbing is a Christchurch plumbing company based in Middleton, founded in 2023 by husband-and-wife duo Aaron and Emma. What began after Emma finally told Aaron to 'just do it already' is now a team of five serving homes and businesses across the city with an approach the name promises: making plumbing simple.
Their work spans property maintenance (from leaky faucets up), hot water heating, water filtration, bathroom renovations, residential new builds, commercial construction and drainlaying. On the hot water side they handle heat pump cylinders, mains pressure outdoor cylinders, low pressure cylinder replacements, external continuous flow gas water heaters and electric instantaneous units. Water filtration is a particular strength, ranging from whole-house systems like the FilterWall F Series to UV treatment, reverse osmosis under-sink filters and water softeners, plus named systems such as the PureMix X7, Watts Hydroguard and Puretec WH55.
The business displays Master Plumbers NZ branding and holds a 5.0-star rating from 133 Google reviews. Free quotes are available through the website, by phone or by email, and the owners' local, personal style — bees, pilates, and the odd West Coast gold panning weekend — comes through in everything they do.
Simply Plumbing: Affordable, Reliable Plumbers in Christchurch
Simply Plumbing is a Christchurch plumbing company based in Middleton, covering everything from a leaky faucet to complete plumbing for a new build. The team calls itself affordable, reliable and experienced, and the numbers back that up: a 5.0-star rating across 133 Google reviews and Master Plumbers NZ branding displayed proudly on the website. What makes the business genuinely interesting, though, is the couple behind it.
From a thousandth idea to a team of five
Simply Plumbing was born in 2023, started by Christchurch locals and husband-and-wife duo Aaron and Emma. After Aaron floated the idea of going out on his own for the thousandth time, Emma finally said 'just do it already' — so they did. Three months later, Emma left her job in horticulture to join the business as an apprentice plumber.
The next six months were, by their own telling, a crash course in marriage, plumbing and working together 24/7. Days on the tools turned into nights spent invoicing and juggling jobs. It didn't take long to spot where each of them shone: Emma had a knack for scheduling, systems and customer service, so she swapped the spanner for the spreadsheets and took over day-to-day operations.
Fast forward a year and Simply Plumbing is a team of five with a growing base of loyal clients, and the plan is to keep growing. The personality carries through to the whole operation: outside work, Emma volunteers with IHC, keeps bees and keeps up a solid pilates habit, while Aaron enjoys a good run, a game of poker and chipping away at his golf slice. Together, the pair love heading to the West Coast for the odd weekend of gold panning. As they put it, they're just two locals who care about doing great work, building a solid team and making plumbing simple.
