Experience, attention to detail and a practical approach to plumbing.
Dan Airey brings an unusual combination of experience to Primo Plumbing. Before establishing himself in residential plumbing, Dan spent 12 years in the marine industry running superyachts around the world — an environment where attention to detail, reliability and doing things properly aren’t optional.
He has since spent eight years working across residential plumbing and off-grid installations, bringing that same practical, detail-focused approach to homes throughout North Auckland.
Primo Plumbing is a locally owned and operated family business based in Dairy Flat, servicing homeowners and properties throughout North Auckland.
Dan is the plumber you’ll deal with on the job, while his wife Nat works behind the scenes helping with the administration, marketing and day-to-day running of the business. Together, they’re building Primo Plumbing around a simple idea: provide the kind of service they’d want to receive themselves.
For customers, that means dealing directly with the people who own the business. There’s no call centre, no layers of management and no getting passed from one person to another. When you contact Primo Plumbing, you’re dealing with a local family who genuinely care about the quality of the work and the reputation they’re building in their own community.
Dan takes pride in providing honest advice, communicating clearly and completing work to a standard he’s happy to put his name to. Whether it’s a small maintenance job, a renovation, a new build or plumbing for a lifestyle property, the same level of care applies.
Primo Plumbing is based in Dairy Flat and services North Auckland, the Hibiscus Coast, Rodney and surrounding areas.
