Gas Fitting in Central Coast, NSW

What is included

What Is Included in Our Gas Fitting

  • Gas is turned off at the meter or bottle before any fitting is loosened, and the area aired.
  • Existing gas lines are traced to see what pipe they are made of and where the joints and bends sit.
  • New pipework runs to the cooktop, barbecue or heater position, clipped to the wall or buried in a trench.
  • Appliances connect to a bayonet point or hard pipe, and a regulator is fitted where one is needed.
  • Every joint on the line is leak tested, using a pressure gauge and leak detection fluid on each fitting.
  • Where an appliance is being removed for good, its gas point is capped and tested so nothing stays open.
  • Open pipe ends are capped, the gas is turned back on, and the appliance is lit to check the flame.

Local plumbers, not a call centre

A plumber answers the phone and the same faces come back if the job runs over a day.

How the job runs

Gas work starts with turning gas off

01

Tell us what gas you have

Call 0489 271 238 and say whether you have mains gas or LPG bottles, and whether this is a new appliance, a move or a suspected leak. If you can smell gas right now, leave the building, leave switches alone and call your gas supplier from outside.

02

Check the line and appliance

We look at the meter or bottle, the pipe run and the appliance label, which states the gas type and input rate. You get a quote for the pipework and connection. Pipe that is too small for a new appliance gets pointed out before work starts.

03

Connect, test and light up

The gas goes off, the pipework and connection go in, and every joint is tested for leaks before the gas goes back on. We then light the appliance, check the flame, and check the isolation tap turns. Offcuts and packaging go with us.

Common questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Which areas do you work in?

We work across the Central Coast and Newcastle, and into the Hunter Valley, Northern Sydney and the Northern Beaches. Each place we list has its own page describing the housing and ground there. If your suburb is not listed, call and ask.

Do you take emergency plumbing calls?

Yes. The phone is answered day and night, and emergency plumbing is one of the twelve services on this site. Burst pipes, urgent blockages and water with nowhere to go are the usual calls.

What should I do while I wait if a pipe has burst?

Shut the water off at the isolation valve, which is usually near the water meter or where the main pipe enters the house. Switch off power to any wet area if you can do it without standing in water. Then call and tell us where the water is coming from.

Do you work on homes and commercial properties?

Yes, both. A home job and a shop or office job share the same pipework, but access, hours and shut-offs are different, so tell us which it is when you call.

What kinds of hot water systems can you install?

We install and repair gas, electric and solar hot water systems. The choice depends on whether the house has mains gas or bottled gas, where the unit will sit and how many people use it. We talk that through on the first call.

Can you clear a drain that keeps blocking?

Yes. A drain that blocks again and again usually has a cause such as tree roots, a broken pipe or a belly in the line, and clearing it once will not fix that. We find the cause and tell you what it is before suggesting a repair.

Do you do the whole renovation or just the plumbing?

We handle the plumbing, gas fitting, strip out and demolition side of bathroom, kitchen and laundry renovations. Ask on the first call what is included in the job you have in mind, and we will tell you which parts we do.

Can you put in the water connections for a new kitchen?

Yes. That covers the sink and tap, the dishwasher connection, a water line for a fridge with an ice maker and the gas point for a cooktop. Send a photo of the existing kitchen and the plans if you have them.

What does roofing have to do with plumbing?

Gutters, downpipes, flashings and stormwater all carry water, and they are part of the plumbing trade. We look at roof leaks, gutter and downpipe repairs and storm damage. Describe where the water is getting in when you call.

What happens before you start a renovation?

The area is looked at in person or from photos, the water and gas are isolated, and the quote names what is going in and what is coming out. If the old room reveals something behind the wall, you are told straight away.

How do I get a quote?

Call, email or use the form on this site, and say what the job is and where. For a simple job a few photos may be enough, and for a renovation the room will usually be looked at in person.
