Rolleston is the seat and largest town of the Selwyn District, 22 kilometres southwest of Christchurch, and grew from about 2,800 people in 2001 to about 28,000 in 2023. Growth sped up after the earthquakes because of the town's stable ground, so much of Rolleston has been built in the last two decades.
Selwyn households pay for every cubic metre of water, so even a small leak shows on the bill. We find and fix leaks, plumb new builds and replace cylinders across Rolleston.

Common Plumbing Problems in Rolleston
Leak Detection
New townhouses can have leaks in shower trays, wastes and fittings hidden in walls or under slabs. We pinpoint the leak so the builder or owner knows exactly what to fix. Leak Detection across Christchurch.
Emergency Plumber
New townhouses and subdivision homes can share water and drainage lines, so an emergency in one unit may affect the next. We find the right isolation point so neighbours are not left without water for longer than necessary. Emergency Plumber across Christchurch.
Gas Fitter
New townhouses often have tight sections and close neighbours, so bottle placement and flue clearances need careful planning. Where we can, we run the pipe before the linings go on. Gas Fitter in Rolleston.
Hot Water Cylinders
New townhouses usually have mains pressure cylinders in tight spaces. We match the size and connections so the replacement fits without changes to the cupboard. Hot Water Cylinders across Christchurch.
Local Conditions in Rolleston
Rolleston was close to the end of the Greendale Fault in 2010, but its stony ground meant no liquefaction, though residents had to boil water for weeks. Selwyn District Council began chlorinating the supply in October 2022. NIWA notes ground and air frosts are common in the cooler months.
