What can a licensed gas fitter install here?

What we connect:

  • Cooktops and wall ovens in terrace kitchens and apartment conversions, including disconnecting the old unit during a renovation
  • BBQ points on balconies and in courtyards, with the new line run, sized and tested
  • Pool heaters and outdoor appliances, connected to a metered supply
  • New gas lines and extensions to a kitchen, laundry or rooftop plant room where an appliance is moving or being added

Smell gas at the old connection? Book gas leak detection first. Gas water heaters are fitted through our hot water team.

Can the line carry the new appliance?

Before the new appliance goes on, we check:

  • The existing line is tested for pressure and tightness before anything is connected
  • The appliance's draw is checked against the pipe that will feed it, because an undersized run gives weak flames at the cooktop
  • Old lines in pre-1940 rows are inspected for dated fittings below current standard
  • The finished connection is pressure-tested and commissioned, and you get the paperwork

How the install runs

  1. 01

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4063 1093 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 02

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 03

    Pipe, connect, light

    Any new pipe goes in, the appliance is fixed and joined, the supply holds test pressure, and each burner is lit and adjusted.

  4. 04

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

What goes into the quote?

An install is priced on:

  • How much new line the job needs, since a point next to the meter is a shorter run than a balcony on the far side of the building
  • What the existing pipe is made of, because a dated line that needs a replacement section adds to the work
  • Stairs and doorways, since a wall oven carried up three flights of a terrace takes two people and time
  • Evening or weekend work at the after-hours rate

Installs on a steep ridge

Steep streets, few parks

The Hill climbs from the harbour to the cathedral ridge, and parking near the door is hard to find, so we plan how a heavy oven or barbecue reaches an upper flat before the day.

Two kinds of building

Housing here is mostly pre-1940 terraces or blocks from the 2000s on, across 963 dwellings at the census. A newer block brings a lift and accessible pipe, while a Victorian terrace brings stone or double-brick walls to route through.

Balconies facing the sea

Salt blown in from the Tasman eats at outdoor fittings, so a barbecue point on an ocean-side balcony is fitted with parts rated for it.

When we're not the right call

A new oven that needs its own power circuit, or a cooktop igniter that has no outlet to plug into, needs an electrician. We handle the gas side of the same job.

Gas appliance questions from The Hill

Do you install gas cooktops in The Hill apartment buildings?

Yes, where the building already has a gas supply to your flat. We connect the cooktop, test the joint and certify it. Bringing gas into a block that has none needs the owners corporation's approval first.

Can you run a new gas line out to a balcony BBQ point?

Yes, in most layouts. The new pipe is sized for the barbecue, routed along the outside wall and tested under pressure, and anything facing the ocean gets corrosion-rated fittings. One price covers the pipe and the bayonet point.

Does an old terrace need new pipework before a gas oven goes in?

Not always. We test the existing pipe first. If it leaks, or is too small for the oven's load, the length that needs renewing is priced in the same quote as the oven connection.

Is a licensed gas fitter legally required for the connection?

Yes. NSW law says only a licensed gas fitter may connect or disconnect a gas appliance, even for a few days while a kitchen is renovated. The fitter who does the work signs the certificate of compliance.
