Home Plumbing & Drainage Services

Home plumbing and drainage you can trust.

Local, qualified and family-run for four generations. We look after Tauranga and Papamoa homes.

What we do

You shouldn't have to wonder whether your plumber is doing the right thing. At Armstrong Plumbing, our qualified plumbers and drainlayers look after homes across Tauranga, Papamoa and the wider Bay of Plenty, with the same standards we bring to our big commercial projects.

We keep it simple. We'll explain what needs doing, tell you what it will cost, and let you know before we turn the water off. Regular maintenance is usually cheaper and less stressful than waiting for something to go wrong, and we're happy to help you plan for it.

Our Home Services

  • Home Maintenance

    Taps, toilets, hot water cylinders, blocked drains and the small jobs that keep your home running smoothly. Regular maintenance is the easiest way to avoid bigger bills later.

  • Upgrades

    Renovating or updating? We can swap your existing tapware for lead-free options and help with plumbing upgrades that make your home safer and more efficient.

  • New Homes

    Building a new home? We'll take care of the plumbing and drainage from the ground up, working alongside your builder.

  • Unblocking Drains

    Our jetter truck is all set up to clear any blocked drains to get your water running smoothly again throughout your home.

  • Leak Detection

    Got a leak but you’re not sure where? Maybe you’ve noticed a big increase in your water bill or reduced pressure in your taps? We have a high tech leak detection kit to measure the flow and detect any faults in your system.

  • Septic Tanks

    Septic tank installation and maintenance for properties outside the town supply. Regular inspections keep your system working well and help avoid costly surprises.

  • Green Solutions

    Practical ways to make your home more water-wise and efficient, such as rainwater harvesting and other sustainable options.
