Our story
Wellington plumbers since 1985
Hawkins Plumbing was founded by Graeme Hawkins in 1985, and from the very start the goal has been a customer-focused service — and respect for your home.
We train our team to act with complete honesty, responsibility and reliability, which really just means we do what we say we will do. That approach earned Hawkins the Master Plumber of the Year title in 2008, and it still guides every job: a hassle-free experience, with your property looked after as if it were our own.
We’re proud of our community too — supporting local rugby, wrestling and touch clubs around Tawa and Porirua — and we’re working towards 30,000 Happy Homes by 2030.

Reviews
What our customers say
“We had an excellent service from start to finish. Very quick response, very pleasant helpful staff, they cleared our drain and rehooked pipes and explained the whole process and problem. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend them and will certainly return if other problems Paula”
“I used Hawkins Plumbing to solve a plumbing issue at my business and they were fantastic. They figured out the solution instantly, unclogged my drain and put in a separate drain to solve the drainage issue in super quick time, and the invoice was very reasonable. I'll use them again for sure.”
“Excellent service from a very hard working team. Prompt action and regular communication to plan and address the broken drainage pipes. Clean up and property restoration much appreciated. Highly recommended.”
