History
-
- A.P. Plumbing & Gasfitting Ltd - Experience. Innovation. Commitment.
Founded in 1996 by industry veteran Andrew Palmer, AP Plumbing and Gasfitting LTD has built a reputation for excellence, innovation, and integrity across New Zealand. With over 30 years of hands-on experience, Andrew is a Certifying Plumber, Gasfitter and Drainlayer whose passion for the trade is evident in every project and apprentice he mentors.
Andrews dedication to the craft and the future of the industry is further reflected in his longstanding role with the New Zealand Master Plumbers Association, where he has proudly been a member for over a decade and served as President for five years. His commitment to training the next generation is more than a philosophy-its a company policy. AP Plumbing actively seeks opportunities to employ and develop new apprentices, ensuring the knowledge and skills of today are passed on to tomorrows tradespeople.
We're not just local- we're national. From our roots in Whanganui and the Central Plateau, where we started with residential and light commercial work, we've grown to tackle major commercial and civil projects across New Zealand. In 2011, our team temporarily relocated to Christchurch to contribute to the critical post-earthquake rebuild. By 2013, we had expanded our operations to include large-scale commercial contracts, including:
- BP Service station builds across both islands
- Prison Developments in Turangi and Whanganui
- The award winning Rydges Hotel at Wellington International Airport.
- The New Zealand International Commercial Pilots Academy.
We're proud of the recognition we've received, including industry accolades for our Health and Safety excellence- but even more so of the trust our clients continue to place in us.
Whether in the heart of the Capital or as far afield as the Chatham Islands, where Andrew personally supervised the training of remote plumbing teams, AP Plumbing is dedicated to delivering quality, advancing innovation, and shaping the future of New Zealand Plumbing.
The future looks bright...and we're just getting started.
Currently, we're leading plumbing and gasfitting works on high-profile developments like the Erskine Island Bay Project, Pinnacle Apartments in Wellington CBD and the newly awarded Wakefield Hospital contract in Wellington. To see more commercial projects, click here.
