Not sure where to start? Kurt provides straightforward consulting to help you plan, budget, and avoid costly surprises.

Starting a plumbing project without proper advice is one of the most expensive mistakes homeowners make. KA Plumbing offers straightforward plumbing consulting across Auckland to help you understand what's needed, plan the work properly, and budget accurately before anything gets ripped out.

Whether you're planning a bathroom renovation on the North Shore, scoping drainage requirements for a new build in Albany, or just trying to understand why your water bill is suddenly sky-high in Browns Bay, Kurt provides honest, experience-backed advice.

Our consulting services cover project scoping and planning for renovations and new builds, building consent guidance for plumbing and drainage work, budget estimation and cost-saving recommendations, second opinions on quotes from other plumbers, plumbing system assessments for pre-purchase property inspections, and water efficiency audits and recommendations.

Think of it as having a mate in the trade — except backed by years of certified plumbing and drain laying experience. A quick consultation now can save you thousands in surprises later. Kurt is happy to visit your property, review plans, or chat over the phone to point you in the right direction.

Problems We Solve

Common Situations We Handle

These are the issues Auckland homeowners call us about most. Sound familiar?

Planning a renovation but unsure about plumbing scope

Kurt reviews your plans, identifies what plumbing and drainage work is needed, and provides a realistic budget before you commit to the project.

Received a plumbing quote that seems too high

Get a second opinion from a certified plumber. Kurt reviews the scope and gives you an honest assessment of whether the quote is fair.

Buying a property and worried about hidden plumbing issues

Pre-purchase plumbing inspections reveal pipe condition, drainage health, hot water age, and potential problems before you sign.

Water bill suddenly spiked and you don't know why

Could be a hidden leak, running toilet, or faulty valve. Kurt investigates and identifies the source so you can fix it cost-effectively.

Need building consent guidance for plumbing work

Kurt advises on what requires consent in Auckland, what documentation is needed, and how to structure the plumbing scope to meet council requirements.

Want to improve water efficiency in your home

Water efficiency audits identify where you're wasting water and money. Kurt recommends practical upgrades — low-flow fixtures, efficient hot water, leak repairs.
