Jason Brown Plumbing & Gas has been serving the Wellington region since 2005, built by husband-and-wife team Jason and Kirstie Brown into a company recently named the 2025 New Zealand Master Plumber of the Year. The award, presented at the New Zealand Plumbing Awards in Brisbane, recognises excellence in workmanship, business practice and community service across the industry.
Based in Petone, the company covers Wellington City, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt and Porirua, handling everything from routine plumbing maintenance and hot water cylinder repairs through to full bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovations and new home builds. On the gas side, services include gasfitting, gas appliance servicing, and gas central heating installation and repair. For homeowners looking to cut costs, the team also installs sustainable hot water heat pump systems, which can save up to 70% on hot water heating bills compared to standard systems.
Drainlaying is one of the business's more detailed specialities, covering new drainage for residential and commercial builds, drainage upgrades for renovations and extensions, damaged pipe replacement, and site-specific drainage design for difficult terrain. The process runs through four stages — planning and design, excavation and installation to New Zealand building code standards, pressure-testing and council inspection, and finally backfilling and site restoration — with the team coordinating the entire job rather than requiring clients to manage multiple contractors.
Work is backed by both the Master Plumbers Guarantee and the company's own 2-year "Done Right First Time" guarantee. Jobs are tracked through GPS-monitored vehicles, with full-time office staff confirming appointments and keeping projects running to schedule from first call through to quoting, completion and invoicing.
For urgent issues — a blocked drain, a hot water cylinder leak, a water pipe leak in the wall or outside, or the smell of gas — Jason Brown Plumbing & Gas is available 24 hours. Booking can be done by phone, by email at [email protected], or online through their booking system, and customers are encouraged to send photos of the issue ahead of time so the right technician can be booked for a faster, more efficient fix.
Jason Brown founded the company alongside his wife and business partner Kirstie Brown in 2005, and the pair have grown it into a trusted name across the Wellington region over the past two decades. Outside of work, Jason is a road cycling competitor who spends time outdoors with Kirstie and their three young children. The company holds affiliations with Master Plumbers, Sitewise and Site Safe, and maintains an active Facebook page for updates and client feedback.
