Gasfitting
Many Ohau properties run on bottled LPG rather than mains gas, and our certified gasfitters install, connect and service it all – from gas hobs and heaters to continuous-flow hot water systems. Every job is completed to AS/NZS 5601 standard by a Certifying Gasfitter, with a Gas Safety Certificate issued on completion. Learn more about our gasfitting services.

Drainlaying
Large parts of Ohau still rely on on-site wastewater rather than a reticulated town system, so a properly designed and maintained septic or on-site system matters more here than almost anywhere else we work. Our Certifying Drainlayer handles new installations, repairs and stormwater management for lifestyle blocks and farms. Learn more about our drainlaying services.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – OHAU PLUMBING
Do you service lifestyle blocks and farms in Ohau?
Yes. Rural properties are a big part of what we do around Ohau – from single lifestyle blocks to working farms. We’re experienced with tank and bore water systems, septic tanks, and bottled gas, all far more common in Ohau than in town.
How quickly can you get to Ohau in an emergency?
Ohau sits right between our Levin and Otaki coverage areas, so we’re rarely far away. Call us and we’ll give you an honest arrival estimate for your specific address rather than a generic promise.
Do you install and service bottled gas systems?
Yes, our Certifying Gasfitter installs and services bottled LPG systems, including gas hobs, gas heaters and continuous-flow gas hot water, common on properties without a reticulated gas main. All work is completed to AS/NZS 5601 standard with a Gas Safety Certificate issued on completion.
My property is on a septic tank – can you help?
Absolutely. Large parts of Ohau still run on-site wastewater systems rather than connecting to Levin’s reticulated network. Our Certifying Drainlayer services, repairs and installs septic and on-site systems throughout the area.

No hidden travel surcharges for Ohau. As a local Kapiti and Horowhenua business, servicing rural properties like yours is exactly what we do – you’ll get the same transparent pricing as anywhere else in our service area.
