Our products are built to withstand heavy daily use while maintaining hygiene standards your school demands.

Beyond installation, we deliver comprehensive maintenance and repair services to keep your existing tapware and plumbing systems running smoothly. Regular servicing prevents costly breakdowns during the school year and ensures reliable water access across all facilities.

Boiling Units

Instant hot water systems are essential in school environments, keeping kitchens, staff rooms, and common areas running smoothly. Leading brands like Rheem and Zip provide reliable boiling units that deliver hot water on demand.

At K & B Plumbing NZ, we offer comprehensive support for these systems. Whether you need repairs to keep an existing unit functioning, regular maintenance to prevent breakdowns, or a complete installation of a new boiling unit, our experienced team has you covered. We also specialise in replacing outdated or underperforming systems with modern alternatives that suit your school's needs and budget.

From emergency repairs to planned upgrades, we ensure your hot water systems are always ready when your school needs them most.

Special Hot/Cold/Sparkling Taps and Units

We offer servicing for schools with this type of tap installed, including filter replacements as needed. We can also handle new
installations and replace existing units. With just one tap, you can get instant boiling, chilled, or ambient filtered water at the touch of a button.

Water Filters

Water filters are essential in schools because they provide safe, clean drinking water. Filters remove harmful contaminants like lead and bacteria, keeping students healthy. We can supply and install new water filter systems and we offer regular filter replacement services with automated reminders scheduled at 3, 6, 9, or 12-month intervals to suit your school's needs.

Drinking Fountains

Outdoor drinking fountains are essential for student wellbeing and academic performance in NZ schools. Strategically positioned near sports fields and play areas, they encourage hydration and make water the convenient choice. K & B Plumbing provides comprehensive repair and maintenance for existing fountains, plus full installation of new plumbing and drainage systems for additional water stations.

Staff Bathroom's, Sick Bays and School Toilet Blocks

In schools and childcare facilities, plumbing problems can quickly disrupt daily operations and create hygiene and safety concerns for students and staff. That's why proactive plumbing maintenance is so important in educational environments. Our team is here to help with a comprehensive range of toilet and bathroom services. We can handle everything from installing new toilets to repairing existing ones, maintaining showers, and replacing basins and taps. Whether it's fixing leaks, clearing blockages, or replacing fixtures, we've got you covered.

Backflow in Schools

Backflow prevention protects your school's water supply by stopping contaminated water from flowing back into the public system. Annual testing is a legal requirement, and we're certified to provide IQP services and issue 12a certificates for full compliance. Whether you need new backflow systems installed, existing ones maintained, or your annual inspection completed, we've got you covered.

Blocked Drains

Our team specializes in clearing blocked drains across all areas of your property—from kitchen sinks and bathroom basins to shower wastes, toilets, sewer lines, and stormwater systems. No matter the blockage type or location, we have the expertise to resolve it quickly and effectively.

We're available 24/7 for emergency drain services, so you can count on us when problems strike at any time. To pinpoint the root cause of persistent issues, we use advanced CCTV inspection technology that reveals hidden problems without unnecessary digging or disruption to your property.

Beyond clearing blockages, we also provide professional cesspit cleaning and maintenance to keep your system running smoothly. Whether it's routine upkeep or an urgent repair, K & B Plumbing is your trusted partner for comprehensive drain solutions.

Watermain Leaks

At K & B Plumbing, we specialise in detecting and repairing leaking water mains with precision and speed. Water leaks can quickly become costly problems—damaging infrastructure, wasting precious resources, and disrupting school operations. The longer a leak goes undetected, the greater the potential impact on your budget and facilities.
