Our Story
Pōhutukawa Plumbing was established in 2023 by Matt, a qualified plumber, gasfitter and drainlayer with more than 10 years of experience working in Whakatāne and the Bay of Plenty.
After a decade on the tools, Matt set out to build a plumbing business delivering solid workmanship with reliable, honest and transparent service.
What began with one van has evolved. Today, Pōhutukawa Plumbing runs multiple vans across Whakatāne, Ōhope, and the wider Bay of Plenty, with a strong team of full-time tradesmen, top apprentices and trusted contractors working alongside Matt.
