Gas Fitting
Licensed gas installs, leak detection, appliance servicing, compliance certificates. Cookers, heaters, hot water, BBQs.
Licensed gas work in NSW
Gas work in NSW is licensed for a reason. A bad gas install kills people. If you’ve had someone do gas work who isn’t licensed, your insurance is void and you’re legally responsible for whatever happens. Always ask for the licence number.
My gas fitting licence is GF.18024. Every gas job I do gets a NSW Gas Compliance Certificate. That’s the bit of paper your insurer will ask for if anything ever happens.
What I do
- New gas appliance installation: cooktops, ovens, stoves, gas heaters, hot water units
- Outdoor gas BBQ point installation
- Gas leak detection and repair
- Two-yearly gas appliance servicing (required by NSW Fair Trading for rental properties)
- LPG to natural gas conversions
- Pipe sizing and gas line installation for new builds and renovations
- Disconnect-and-cap for property demolitions
The servicing rule most people don’t know
In NSW, every gas appliance in a rental property must be serviced at least every two years. Most landlords don’t know this and most agents won’t tell them. If you’re renting and your gas heater hasn’t been serviced in three years, that’s on the landlord, and it’s a real safety issue if there’s a leak or a flue blockage.

Turn off the gas at the meter (look for the lever on the supply line). Open windows. Do not turn any electrical switches on or off, a tiny spark in the wrong place ignites it. Get out of the house and ring me, or ring Jemena’s emergency line on 131 909. Don’t go back in until it’s been checked.
It’s included in the price of every gas job. You don’t pay extra for it. If a gas fitter charges you for the certificate, find a different gas fitter.
Yes. Standard outdoor BBQ point runs $480 to $780 depending on the distance from the existing gas line and whether it needs to go through an external wall or under decking. Includes the bayonet fitting and the compliance certificate.
Yes. Bottle changeovers and regulator replacement for properties on LPG. Also conversions from LPG to natural gas where mains gas has become available. A conversion involves swapping injectors on each appliance and recertifying, so it’s a per-appliance cost, not a flat rate.
