What Can a Licensed Gas Fitter Help With?

In NSW, gas work must be done by a licensed gas fitter. From the outlet of the meter to the burner, the pipework and connections are ours to install, repair and certify.

New appliances connected and commissioned, from cooktops and wall ovens to outdoor BBQs and pool heaters
Supply lines run, extended or replaced, including new pipe where an old run cannot feed a modern appliance
Gas leaks traced with detectors and repaired, then the run tested before it goes back into service
Storage and continuous-flow gas water heaters fitted and maintained
Repairs to existing fittings, regulators and bayonets that have seen better decades

If the job involves gas and a flame, it starts with a licensed gas fitter. Everything above is priced before anyone picks up a tool.

Gateshead Gas Fitting Services

Both are covered in full on their own pages:

Gas Appliance Installation: your cooktop, wall oven, BBQ outlet or pool heater hooked up and tested, with a bigger supply pipe laid where the old one runs short.

Book a leak trace

Gas hot water sits on its own page, since the repair-or-replace question there deserves its own room. See the hot water hub for storage, continuous-flow and heat pump options.

When Does a Gas Job Turn Urgent?

Gas faults give you fewer second chances than water ones. A slow drain can wait a week; a gas fault should not wait a night.

A gas smell indoors, at the meter or around the hob that lingers even with the windows open
A hissing noise at a pipe, meter or appliance
A burner flame that has turned lazy and yellow
An appliance that keeps shutting down, or a pilot light that keeps going out
A strip of dying plants across the yard, which can flag a leaking underground run

Any one of those makes it urgent. If you can safely reach the meter, shut the gas off there, keep away from switches and flames, and ring. After-hours gas calls run through the emergency plumber page.

Old Conversions, Old Joints

Early conversions, original joints

Many postwar fibro and weatherboard houses here went over to gas long ago, and a number still have joints sealed with braided cotton from that first job, plus pipe sized for a single old stove.

Moving clay, loosening joints

The reactive clay under Gateshead is never quite still, which can ease an old gas joint apart as surely as it strains galvanised water pipe. A gas detector finds the weeping joint, and the repair brings that section up to current standard.

What Drives the Price of Gas Work?

A gas quote rests on how much pipe the job needs:

Metres of new pipe A run from the meter to the back deck costs more than a short tail to the cooktop
Pipe size A pool heater may need a bigger supply than the house has now
Walls and floors Pipe hidden in a cavity or under timber boards takes longer to reach
After-hours call-outs These carry their own rate

We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

When we're not the right call: the gas network owns the meter and the pipe in the street and repairs faults on them. Wiring for an oven or a pool heater's power belongs with a licensed electrician. The gas pipe from the meter into your home is our work.

Your Gas Questions, Answered

Can you connect a gas BBQ at my place in Gateshead?

Yes. We lay or extend the supply pipe, connect the BBQ and pressure test the run before you light it. The figure is named up front, and the work carries our 365-day warranty on all work.

What should I do about a gas smell before you arrive?

Shut the gas down at the meter or the cylinder if that is safely within reach, open windows and doors, and stay clear of switches, flames and anything electrical. Then ring us. If the smell is strong or you are worried, move outside first and call from there.

Are the old gas lines in commission-era Gateshead homes safe?

They can be, but age shows. Some houses converted decades ago still have their first joints, which can weep, and pipe too small for modern appliances. A detector check shows where your house stands.

Do you handle gas work for Pacific Highway businesses?

Yes. Cafes, takeaways and other shops on the highway get the same licensed gas work as homes, from new appliances to leak repairs, and we book around trading hours where we can.
