Common Questions
Frequently asked questions
Do I need council approval for new drainage work?
Yes, most new drainage installations or major repairs require council consent. We handle all the compliance requirements and ensure your drainage system meets Christchurch City Council standards.
What’s the difference between stormwater and wastewater drainage?
Stormwater drainage deals with rainwater runoff from roofs and driveways, while wastewater systems handle water from sinks, toilets, and appliances. We install and repair both systems to suit your property’s needs.
How do I know if my drains need repairing or replacing?
Common signs include slow drainage, foul smells, gurgling sounds, or visible water pooling. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, we can inspect your drains and recommend the best solution.

A huge thank you to Aaron, Brogan and the team at Simply Plumbing for a fantastic experience. Aaron was incredibly easy to deal with from the first enquiry through to completion of the job. His communication was excellent, the quote was very competitive, and organising a time for the work was straightforward and hassle free. Brogan and his team did an outstanding job. They were friendly, respectful, and very considerate of the occupant of the property. They took care with the space, put everything back when they needed to move it, and completed the work efficiently and to a high standard. Most importantly, the occupant was extremely impressed with the team and had only positive things to say about their professionalism and workmanship. The entire process was seamless from beginning to end. I wouldn't hesitate to use Simply Plumbing again and highly recommend them to others. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Posted on Google![]()

Ollie from Simply Plumbing installed oir bath and toilet today. It wasn't straight forward as he had to alter the area around the drain, but it was all done very professionally, and quickly. We have used Simply plumbing before and are very happy. Photo of installed bath.+0Posted on Google![]()

Simply Plumbing were fantastic to deal with over our renovation. We had them work with us across 2 new bathrooms and new hot water cylinder. They were so great to deal with, very easy communication and very accommodating as we staged the work to fit around us living in the reno. All staff on and off-site have been great to work with. Fully recommend them and intend to work with again in futurePosted on Google![]()

Both Robbie and Ollie were a pleasure to have in our home - very pleasant, efficient and made a great job of our hot water heat pump. The site was left clean and tidy which was very much appreciated. (This work was done as part of an AeroMax Energy install so can't accurately comment on the cost detailed below.) - Philip & Helen.Posted on Google![]()

Ollie from Simply Plumbing is such a kind, professional young man who explained everything and showed me the issue that he fixed for me. I'd recommend this young man and company to anyone who needs a plumber. I had an old tap that needed looking at which Ollie fixed. Not sure if price as I'm in a rental. Thank you so very much.Posted on Google![]()
