Can anyone recommend a plumber in the Wellington region?
We need someone to come and look at the Header tank in the attic and give us some options/prices for replacement or alternatives. I would rather have a recommendation than pick someone at random out of the yellow pages cheers  ------------- |

| I don't have any recommendations, but I'll be watching closely. I desperately want to change our cylinder/header tank as the hot water is driving me insane with it's low pressure!!!!! |

Well most would travel anyway but the the ones where I know the owners/plumbers (well DH does) are:
Graeme Sinclair Plumbing Jarvis Plumbing Virtual Plumbing Blakemore & Lee Plumbing DH used to work as a plumbing rep so we know a lot of them through work as well as socially. One of our good friends works with Grame Sinclair, Jarvis Plumbing also just replaced the water heater at my grandmas place and the quote was very very reasonable. The top 3 are all hutt based, Blakemore & Lee are city based and I don't know them personally but I know that DH always thought highly of them. Hope that is of some help! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
