The best of
Auckland. Ranked.

This Mount Eden outfit keeps near-round-the-clock phone hours, 6am to 11pm seven days, and built its two-decade reputation on actually explaining what broke and why — not just patching it and moving to the next job.

Husband-and-wife Master Plumbers Brad and Amelia Grace built their Mount Wellington business on repeat custom rather than ad spend — hot water cylinders and residential repairs done properly, with PGDB compliance baked into every job.

Running since 1997 under craftsman plumbers Steve Frogley and Grant Syminton, Plumbquick dispatches GPS-tracked teams from its St Marys Bay and Rosedale bases — useful when you want the nearest qualified plumber, not just the nearest available one.

Onehunga-based and refreshingly upfront, this crew will talk a caller through a free DIY fix over the phone rather than book an unnecessary visit — a rare honesty play in an industry built on callout fees.

Part of the nationwide Laser Group franchise, the East Tamaki branch fields more than 25 tradestaff living right across the city — a genuine bench of depth when South and East Auckland need same-day callouts.

South Auckland's go-to for genuine emergencies, with crews dispatched around the clock and a focus squarely on the southern suburbs rather than spreading thin trying to cover the whole city at once.

Specialising in residential plumbing and drainage for new builds and renovations, this team covers the central city and North Shore — worth a call when the job is bigger than a single leaking tap.

Covering Manukau, Franklin and the wider south, Ross's has built its name on turning up when promised and giving straight advice rather than upselling — old-school service in a part of town short on it.

Led by an owner with 21 years on the tools, this Henderson-based team is West Auckland's local option for Te Atatu, Henderson and surrounds — small enough to know its streets, qualified enough to handle gas work too.

Operating across West Auckland, the North Shore and Manukau since 1980, this long-running outfit is the closest thing Auckland has to an institution — generations of homeowners have had the same crew handle leaks, cylinders and renovations.

Owner-operators Liam and Sarah run this Saint Johns-based team covering renovations, gas fitting and CCTV drain inspections — a tidy, owner-accountable alternative to the big-fleet operators for East Auckland homeowners.

The Whenuapai arm of the Laser Group franchise gives West Auckland a dedicated local office and crew, with set weekday hours and the backing of a national plumbing and roofing network behind it.

Founded by craftsman plumber Eddie Elliott in 2011, this Rosedale team holds Master Plumber, Master Gasfitter and Master Drainlayer status — a rare trifecta — and handles everything from burst pipes to commercial food-plant pipework.

This Glenfield-based crew of Certified Master Plumbers leans into new-build and high-end renovation work, with recent projects from Remuera bathroom strip-outs to multi-townhouse developments — a step up from the standard leaky-tap callout.
