Trusted Plumbing Since 1946

For over 75 years, C.F. Reese Plumbing has been delivering reliable, high-quality plumbing solutions across New Zealand. From our roots in Waikato to our growing presence in Canterbury, we’ve built our reputation on workmanship, responsiveness, and long-term relationships.

Our Story

Established in 1946 by Colin Francis Reese, C.F. Reese has grown into a full-service plumbing, electrical, gasfitting, drainage, and roofing company.

Today, we support residential and commercial clients with everything from day-to-day maintenance through to large-scale installations. While our tools and systems have evolved, our core approach hasn’t changed:

 

Do the job properly. Communicate clearly. Stand behind the work.
