about our
team and
work ethic

Proudly serving the wider Wellington region since 1997.

Our purpose statement:

“To provide expert plumbing, heating and drainage solutions that look great and elevate your wellbeing; while growing the industry talent of tomorrow, and creating a place where our team loves to work.”

We are certifying Master Plumbers, gasfitters and drainlayers.

The Jarvis family name has been synonymous with honest, quality plumbing services since 1997.

We are hardworking, pride ourselves on taking care of our team and we solve our clients’ problems quickly with quality craftsmanship.

Dan & Rhiannon Jarvis merged their business DJ Plumbing & Gasworks with Jarvis PlumbGas Services in 2023. Before their retirement, Dave & Genny Jarvis had been operating Jarvis Plumbgas since 1997, and before that as Jarvis & Sinclair Plumbers since 1985. We are Stokes Valley born and bred — our workshop is still on George Street where customers can come in for a chat.

Jarvis is a business that strives to focus on people, not profit. We want our employees to feel they are the centre of our business. They have a high level of autonomy and share in the success of the business, as this creates a team that is mentally healthy and willing to go the extra mile for our customers.

Our husband-and-wife team share the Jarvis approach to excellent craftsmanship and fostering a healthy workplace.
