New face in the Warwick Kirwan Plumbing team

-

Warwick Kirwan is a reliable domestic plumber who gives quick efficient service and competent codecompli­ant workmanshi­p at excellent rates.

Warwick Kirwan Plumbing Ltd started in business in February 2000, and the workshop is based in Rangiora, while Warwick, Sue and their three children have lived in Loburn for 11 years.

Excellent support is now provided by the latest apprentice – Rhys Norris. He started with the company as a labourer in February 2016. He then signed up with the Apprentice Training Trust and was employed through them.

Warwick has trained quite a few apprentice­s over the years since the business was started, and their starting ages have varied from 17 years and upwards.

"We need to continuall­y train apprentice­s to keep the trade going," he says.

"It is also important as it adds value to your business. It takes three to four years to complete an apprentice­ship."

In many ways Rhys is fortunate to have this start, as the team at Warwick Kirwan Plumbing Ltd has a solid reputation.

Having a great plumber who is a neighbour – this means a commitment to quality work, understand­ing of local conditions, as well as an early visit and efficient follow-up where required. These are all things that Rhys will enjoy learning.

Work is mainly in the North Canterbury area, but travel to Christchur­ch to work for a couple of builders often occurs.

All plumbing needs can be met: maintenanc­e and repairs, new housing, log and pellet fire installati­on, installati­on and maintenanc­e of water pumps, inspection and repair of log fires.

Warwick also assists clients with bathroom alteration­s – the best type of hardware to fit, pressure for taps, and other technical matters. For log fire installs he can help with the permit applicatio­n and check the log fire the client wants will fit in the space. Once spring arrives, we will need to know that our irrigation systems are working well, so we may enjoy those summer veges.

When building, systems need to be well thought through and efficientl­y set up during the building process.

Call Warwick Kirwan Plumbing now and get things running the way you want them to.
