What Does A Gas Fitter Handle?

Anything that carries or burns gas at your property needs a licensed fitter:

  • New supply pipe to a kitchen, an alfresco area or a pool heater, sized for everything you plan to connect.
  • Connecting appliances, from a freestanding oven inside to a BBQ bayonet on the deck.
  • Finding leaks with a detector and repairing the pipe or fitting at fault.
  • Capping and removing old appliances and redundant pipe.
  • Compliance testing and paperwork once the work is done.

Water leaks are a separate job, covered on the leak detection page.

How Does a Gas Job Run?

Each gas booking follows these steps:

  1. 1

    You ring

    Describe the job or the problem so we bring the right fittings and test gear.

  2. 2

    We look

    For a leak, the detector follows the gas to the fault. For a new connection, we check the pipe route and clearances.

  3. 3

    You get a price

    We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead. No work begins until you agree.

  4. 4

    We do the work

    Pipe is run or repaired, appliances are connected, and every joint is checked with the detector before the gas is turned back on.

  5. 5

    We sign it off

    The installation is tested, the site is tidied, and the work carries our 365-day warranty on all work.

What Moves The Price Of Gas Work?

Four things set the figure on a gas job:

The pipe route

A long run from the meter to a back-deck BBQ costs more than a short one to the kitchen, and a trench under paving takes longer than a run under a raised floor.

The appliance

Swapping a cooktop on an existing bayonet is less work than a new, larger supply for a pool heater.

Getting to the pipe

Pipework under decking or behind built-in cabinets adds labour, and the quote names it.

Outside business hours

Gas work after hours carries a higher rate, stated when you ring.

A fixed figure matters most when a leak has you worried about safety, and nobody wants the cost shifting on top of that. Lily put it simply:

"Communication was excellent, the quote was clear, and the work was completed promptly." Lily

Salt Air And Outdoor Gas Gear

Lake air on outdoor fittings

Valentine faces Lake Macquarie from the east, and brackish air coming off the water settles on outdoor gas pipe, unions and BBQ connections. Fittings exposed to it age well ahead of those sheltered from the shore, so an outdoor gas line on a foreshore block is worth checking before the summer barbecue season.

Two eras of housing

The suburb is mostly brick-veneer homes from the late 1980s and 1990s, with an older group from the 1960s and 70s, so the gas pipework ranges from decades old to nearly new. An old bayonet, or a copper line that predates a kitchen renovation, deserves a detector check before a new appliance goes on it.

When We're Not The Right Call

A smell of gas inside the house is the gas network's emergency first. Faults on the meter or the supply pipe in the street are also the network's to fix, so if your problem sits on their side you get their number, and we pick up anything on your side once they have finished.

Common Questions About Gas Work

Do you connect gas to a new cooktop or BBQ in Valentine?

Yes. The fitter extends the supply where needed, makes the bayonet or fixed connection, checks every joint with a gas detector and completes the compliance paperwork. You agree the price before work begins, and the connection carries our 365-day warranty on all work.

How do I know if my gas line is leaking?

The signs are a rotten-egg smell, burners that flame yellow instead of blue, a hiss near the meter or a pipe, and headaches that ease once you step outside. For a smell indoors, get everyone out, shut the meter valve if it is safe, and call the emergency number on your gas bill. The repair is ours once the network clears the property.

Can you convert my kitchen from electric to gas?

If the street has a gas main and your property can be connected, yes. We price the new supply pipe, the connection points and any change of appliance before starting. Any trenching the new pipe needs is included in that figure.

Is your gas work done by licensed trades?

Every gas job, from a single bayonet to a leak repair, is carried out by a licensed gas fitter. You see a fixed price for it before any work begins.
