Gas Fitting Sydney CBD | Licensed Gas Fitters

Plenty of city buildings have no gas at all

In a house, gas is a supply to a building and the question is usually just whether the street carries it.

In the city that is not the shape of it. A good many buildings here have no gas whatsoever, and among those that do, it may serve only certain stacks rather than every apartment.

Where it does reach you, two further questions follow. Whether the riser has capacity for another appliance, since it was specified for what the building had when it went up. And whether new pipework would cross common property, which the building has a legitimate say in.

None of that is unusual or obstructive. It simply has to be answered before an appliance is bought rather than after it is delivered, and one conversation settles it.

Gas work in a city apartment

Many buildings have none at all

And among those that do, it may serve only certain stacks rather than every apartment.

It is the first thing to establish and it takes one visit or one conversation.

The riser was sized for the building as built

Adding an appliance decades later is a capacity question rather than a preference.

Usually answerable, but a question rather than an assumption.

New pipework crosses common property

Which the building has a legitimate say in, and raising it early is far easier than unwinding it later.

Committees generally deal with it sensibly when asked properly.

The certificate matters to everybody

It is legally required, and in a shared building it is the record that work inside one apartment was done safely.

Keep it with your records.

Unlicensed gas work is not only your risk

Gas is licensed work in NSW with no small-job exemption.

In a building full of households, unlicensed work endangers people who never agreed to it.

How a gas call-out runs.

We check the supply

Whether the building has gas, and whether it reaches your apartment. That comes before any quote.

Capacity and common property

Whether the riser can take another appliance, and whether the building needs to agree to the pipework.

Step 03

Installing a gas appliance in a Sydney CBD apartment

Fitted to standard

Installed and commissioned properly, sized for the appliance rather than for whatever was easiest to run.

Step 04

Gas fitting questions.

What the Sydney CBD locals ask us before booking a plumber.

Ask us yours Licensed plumbing van covering the Sydney CBD and the surrounding suburbs

I can smell gas in my apartment. What do I do?

Leave, and tell building management on your way out. Do not touch any switch and do not use a phone indoors. In a building this is not only your problem, and management can act on the whole building in a way you cannot. Ring us from outside.

Does gas even reach my apartment?

Not always, and in the city plenty of buildings have none at all. Where a building does have gas it may serve only some stacks. It is the first thing to establish and it takes one visit or one conversation with management.

Can I add a gas cooktop where there has never been one?

It depends on three things: whether there is a supply to the apartment, whether the riser has capacity for another appliance, and whether new pipework would cross common property, which needs the building's agreement. None are unusual obstacles, they just have to be answered before anything is bought.

What is a Certificate of Compliance?

The document a licensed gasfitter issues certifying the work was done to standard. It is legally required. In a building it is also the record that work inside your apartment was done properly, which matters to everybody else living there. We issue one on every gas job.

Can I install a cooktop myself?

No. Gas is licensed work in NSW with no exemption for a small job. Unlicensed work cannot be certified and voids a home insurance claim, and in a building full of other households it puts people at risk who never agreed to it.

Do you test the whole installation?

The installation we are connecting to, yes. Certifying a new appliance on a line losing pressure elsewhere achieves nothing, and in a shared building that is not a theoretical concern.

What does gas work cost in the city?

A leak test on the installation is $150 to $300. A cooktop connected and certified is $250 to $500. A new gas point within an apartment is $450 to $1,200 depending on the run. A heater bayonet is $300 to $600. The certificate is included in all of it.
