Cooktops, heaters and gas lines installed, tested and certified, with the Certificate of Compliance handed over every time rather than mentioned and forgotten.

Every gas job produces two things. One is an appliance that works. The other is a Certificate of Compliance, issued by the licensed gasfitter, certifying the work was done to standard.
The first is what people care about on the day. The second is what matters in five years, and on these streets that distinction does real work.
Properties here change hands, and the person who commissioned a job is frequently not the person still dealing with the house later. Nobody's memory of who fitted what survives that. A certificate does.
So we issue one on every gas job, without being asked and without it being an extra. Keep it with the property papers, because an insurer will ask and so will a conveyancer at sale.
Leave the building, touch no switches, turn the meter off only if it is safely on your way, and ring from outside.
Open the house up, get everybody outside, and touch nothing electrical on the way past. Take the call from outdoors rather than from the room that smells.
Turn the gas off at the meter if you can reach it safely. If the meter sits behind the smell, leave it and get out.
A licensed gas fitter answers when you ring us, and where the network's emergency crew is the right first call we will tell you so rather than take a booking.
A Certificate of Compliance is legally required and is issued by the licensed gasfitter who did the work. It records what was done, that it was tested, and under whose licence.
On this estate that matters more than usual, because the person commissioning the work is frequently not the person who will still be living there in five years.
The certificate is the thing that travels with the property. Everything else is memory, and memory does not survive a change of tenant, owner or agent.
Gas fitting is licensed work in NSW and there is no small-job exemption. Work done outside that system cannot be certified, then or later.
So it leaves nothing behind: no document, no test result, and no way for anybody to establish afterwards that the installation was ever sound.
That is a problem on any property and a larger one where ownership and occupancy change hands regularly.
Where there is existing gas work and no paperwork, that is a question worth resolving rather than living with, particularly before a sale or a change of tenancy.
We can inspect and test the current installation and certify what exists. That is a different document from the original but a genuinely useful one.
Where the work turns out to be non-compliant we will say so plainly, and tell you what it would take to put right.
Certifying a new appliance on a line losing pressure somewhere else achieves nothing, so the existing installation gets tested as part of connecting anything new to it.
On century-old housing that has been altered by successive occupants, that occasionally finds something.
When it does, we tell you before doing the work rather than after, which is why a straightforward swap sometimes becomes a longer conversation.
Adding an appliance is a calculation against total demand rather than a connection. The line has a capacity and so does the meter, and on housing of this age both are modest.
The input rating on the appliance plate is the number the calculation runs on, stated in megajoules per hour, and a photograph of it is enough to start.
Where the sums do not work, appliances starve each other, and a burner that drops off whenever somebody runs a shower is nearly always this rather than a faulty appliance.
An appliance burning indoors consumes air from the room it is in, and the rooms in this housing were never large to begin with.
Draught proofing, replacement windows and a sealed fireplace are all sensible improvements and every one of them reduces air movement through the room.
So a kitchen that was fine for decades can stop being fine after a renovation that touched nothing to do with the gas at all.
Every outdoor gas appliance has required clearances to combustible material, and a flue terminal has required distances from windows, doors and vents.
On an estate laid out with generous planting, a shrub thickening over several seasons is the most common non-fault we find, and the fix is usually secateurs and ten minutes.
A window added after the appliance creates the same problem from the other direction, which is worth mentioning if there has been building work.
The pipe run and its diameter, the pressure test, the clearances around the appliance, the flue and where it terminates, and the ventilation for the room.
All of it is decided against a specification, and all of it disappears behind a wall or a cupboard on the day.
So when somebody offers to do gas work cheaply and informally, what is being discounted is the part nobody will ever be able to check.
The certificate is small, easily lost, and worth a great deal at exactly the moment nobody expects to need it: after an incident, or at sale.
Filed with the property documents rather than in a folder of receipts, it survives a change of tenant, owner or agent.
If you have had gas work done and never received one, chase it up. It is not paperwork for its own sake and it cannot be recreated afterwards.
Fixed price agreed before anything starts. These are indicative 2026 ranges and the Certificate of Compliance is included in every one of them.
The installation pressure tested, with a written result.
Connected, tested and certified, with the certificate handed over.
Depending on the run and what it has to pass through.
Installed and certified, sized for the appliance rather than for convenience.
Legally required, issued every time, and the part that lasts.
And whether there is paperwork for it. Inherited work with no certificate is worth knowing about before we add to it.
A pressure test on what we are connecting to, so nothing gets certified over an existing fault.
Installed and commissioned properly, sized for the appliance rather than for whatever was easiest.
Issued on the spot, and worth filing with the property papers rather than a kitchen drawer.
Leave the building first, then ring us from outside. Do not touch a switch on the way out.
Call 1300 381 569Get everyone outside first. Do not touch any switch, including lights, and do not use a phone indoors. If the meter is safely on your way out, turn it off. Then ring from outside. This is the one situation where leaving and doing nothing else is exactly right.
It is the document a licensed gasfitter issues certifying that gas work was done to the standard. It is legally required, and it is the only durable record that the work was done properly. We issue one on every gas job without being asked.
Because it is the part that outlives whoever ordered the work. On a mixed-tenure estate the person commissioning a job is frequently not the person who will still be dealing with the property in five years, and memories of who did what do not survive. The certificate does. Insurers ask for it, conveyancers ask for it at sale, and it is what tells a future owner the appliance was fitted by somebody licensed.
No. Gas is licensed work in NSW with no exemption for a small job or a capable owner. Unlicensed work cannot be certified, which means it will void a home insurance claim and leave nothing on record that it was ever done safely.
Have it checked. If there is no certificate and no record, that is worth resolving rather than wondering about, particularly before a sale. We can test the installation and tell you plainly what state it is in.
Yes. Certifying a new appliance on a line that is losing elsewhere achieves nothing, so we pressure test what we are connecting to. If something else is wrong you hear about it before we leave, with a price attached.
A leak test on the installation is $150 to $300. A cooktop connected and certified is $250 to $500. A new gas point run and certified is $450 to $1,200 depending on the run. A heater bayonet is $300 to $600. The compliance certificate is included in all of it.
Tell us what you want fitted and whether there is existing gas work with paperwork. Those two answers shape the quote.
Whole installation tested, certificate issued as standard, and the licence number on the quote before you agree to anything.
