Whitehead Plumbing & Gas Ltd is a
longstanding Plumbing, Gasfitting and
Drainlaying company that is celebrating
its 38th birthday this year. That’s a long
time working for local Christchurch and
Canterbury home owners and businesses.
Over the years Mark Whitehead has
built a loyal following of domestic and
commercial customers. The business began
in 1979 with one staff member and grew
steadily until Feb 2011 when the devastating
Christchurch earthquakes caused a surge
in demand for a wide range of plumbing,
gasfitting and drainlaying repair work.
Mark says that the earthquake put a huge
demand on the business to service peoples
needs and the business grew rapidly to
meet those needs. He said that all their staff
worked exceptionally hard during this time
to get water and drainage working again
for many people. A lot of households had
damage to their hot water cylinders and
Whitehead’s were replacing around 20
cylinders per week.
The business has continued to grow
steadily since then as the rebuild gained
momentum, with Whiteheads Plumbing
and Gas Ltd being the preferred Plumbing,
Gasfitting and Drainlaying company for
many builders of high spec architecturally
designed homes. The company has also
branched out into light commercial work
including new schools, shopping centres
and retirement villages.
Mark says that although the rebuild work
on the flat is coming to an end they still
have many rebuilds and major repair jobs
to do for architecturally designed houses.
A lot of these new builds are on hill sites
where there are challenges with access and
engineering requirements.
Whitehead’s are specialists in those
difficult jobs whether it be plumbing, gas
or drainage work. They have key staff who
have been in the industry for a lot of years
and their combined knowledge has given
the business the opportunity to tackle those
difficult jobs. Mark says that his team works
closely with the main contractor on every
project to see that the work progresses
smoothly.
Mark Whitehead is passionate about the
Plumbing, Gas and Drainlaying industry
and this is evident in his involvement in and
commitment
to the PGD Board, which is the industry’s
regulatory body, Skills, the training
organisation, Master Plumbers, Gasfitters
and Drainlayers and other plumbing
related organisations over the years.
The business has a philosophy of training
young people and over the years they have
trained in excess of 40 apprentices. Mark
says that the industry’s future is in training
the right people. The future is in good
hands with Whitehead Plumbing & Gas
