Our story.
Hi, I’m Ben, the founder of On Hand Plumbing & Gas. I’m a certified plumber and gasfitter with years of experience working across the Wellington Region.
Why the name ‘On Hand’? It’s inspired by an injury I sustained on the job four years ago when I badly injured my wrist, severing seven tendons and losing the use of my hand for a while. After three surgeries and a lot of recovery time, I’m back in action and my wrist is stronger than ever. The name started as a joke – “One Hand Plumbing” – but we decided to drop the ‘e’ and go with ‘On Hand Plumbing & Gas’. You’ve gotta laugh about it, right?
We’re a small family-owned and operated business, based in the heart of Welly - so we know Wellington’s unique plumbing and gasfitting needs, inside and out.
When I’m not plumbing, you’ll probably find me with my whānau, grabbing a coffee down the beach, hitting the gym or planning a road trip around NZ.
