Northland Business Excellence Awards: Limitless Plumbing & Gas T T Bernadette Cooney REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Only in its third year in operation, locally owned Whangarei business Limitless Plumbing and Gas has already been named a finalist in the small business category of last year’s Northland Business Awards. Established in 2022 by Blake and Jade Patrick, the family-owned company of certifying plumbers and gas fitters, has built a reputation for delivering high-quality plumbing and gas-fitting services across Whangarei and beyond. Limitless Plumbing and Gas offers a wide range of services, including residential and commercial certified plumbing and gas fitting, underfloor heating, maintenance plumbing, drain clearing and leak detection. A certified plumber and gas fitter, Blake Patrick has more than a decade of industry experience, leading a team of four – one trade qualified and three apprentices – delivering comprehensive solutions on projects from start to finish. Being a finalist in the business awards was a nice honour, says Blake, but the awards process itself was a great opportunity to reflect on the workings of the business. The awards process involved an on-site visit from members of its judging panel, who evaluated the business on various criteria. “It was a rewarding process to do. No matter who comes out on top, it’s a good idea to enter. It opens your business up in front of you, and gets you thinking about various parts that you don’t usually even think of,” says Blake. Limitless Plumbing and Gas has made significant contributions to the region through a variety of commercial and residential projects. Recently, they completed a refurbishment at Whangarei Heads School and a new build at Hukerenui School, which included a learning development building, toilet block, kitchenette, and art sinks. The team has also worked on residential projects, including a two-storey development in Whau Valley for CoBuild, and a sustainable rammed-earth home for Modern Earth Homes at Ody Road, Whangarei Heads, plus a number of renovations with Busby Builders. These projects prove the company’s adaptability and expertise in both traditional and innovative building methods. “Whether it’s a workplace, school, new build or sustainable home, we’re committed to delivering top-quality results, and likewise with maintenance and repairs,” says Blake. Blake obtained his drainage qualification last year, and has invested in drainage-system equipment, such as cameras for pipe inspection and a hydro jetter to unblock drains. “This has been very helpful and allows us to provide drainage solutions as another service we can provide.” Limitless Plumbing and Gas is also the Rheem service agent for Whangarei. Beyond his business achievements, Blake is deeply invested in the future of the plumbing and gas-fitting industry. As vice president of the Northland Master Plumbers Board, he is dedicated to maintaining high industry standards and promoting plumbing as a rewarding career choice. 09 430 3074 www.nexteditionkitchens.com 8:30am – 4:00pm Mon – Fri • Customdesigns • 3D drawings • Cabinets & cupboards • Benchtops • New cupboard doors • Quality kitchens • Splashbacks & tiling Whangarei’s top choice in Kitchen design.
