Gas fitting work

Everything a gas job in NSW needs — without you having to chase it

Gas work in NSW is strictly regulated. Any alteration, any new appliance connection, any meter work — it has to be done by a licensed gas fitter and recorded on a NSW Gas Compliance Certificate. When you sell your home, an un-certified gas install is the thing the building inspector will flag. We get it right the first time and leave you the paperwork.

Gas leak warning signs

What to do if you smell gas

Natural gas in Sydney has an added odorant (that rotten-egg smell) specifically so leaks are obvious. If you can smell gas: don’t flick any switches, don’t strike a match, don’t start cars. Open doors and windows, turn off the gas at the meter (clockwise quarter-turn on the handle), leave the property, and call us from outside on 0432 304 609. If the smell is strong, call 131 909 (Jemena) first — then us.

  • No flames, no switches, no electrical devices
  • Ventilate — open doors and windows
  • Isolate at the meter if safe to reach
  • Leave the building and call from outside

FAQs

Common questions about gas fitting

If you can’t see your question here, call us — we’re happy to talk it through.

Is it legal to install a cooktop myself?
No. In NSW, any gas connection must be done by a licensed gas fitter and certified. DIY gas work voids your insurance and is a prosecutable offence under the Gas Supply Act. A cooktop connection takes us 60–90 minutes and includes the compliance paperwork.
How much does a gas compliance certificate cost?
It’s included with any gas work we do — there’s no separate fee. If you’re chasing a certificate retrospectively for work done by someone else, we’ll need to inspect and test the install first; that’s quoted separately.
Can you convert my BBQ from LPG to natural gas?
Yes — most BBQ models accept a conversion kit, we install the gas point, convert the unit, and pressure-test it. Some cheaper BBQs aren’t convertible; we’ll check first before quoting.
What does a gas leak test involve?
We isolate the gas, connect a manometer at the meter, and watch for pressure drop. If pressure falls, the leak is somewhere in the system; electronic detectors and bubble-test fluid then find the exact joint. Most leaks are at fittings on old appliances.
Do you handle meter relocations?
Yes — we coordinate with Jemena (the Sydney gas distributor) for the meter move itself, then we do the new internal pipework. The meter is Jemena’s asset; the pipework inside the property is ours to do.
Can you work on heritage and strata buildings?
Regularly. Older Sydney homes often have aged black-iron gas lines — we’ll tell you when a full replacement is smarter than another repair.
