Gas Fitting Newtown | Licensed Gas Fitters

Two classes of installation, one building

In most suburbs a gas job is a domestic job or a commercial one. In a King Street or Enmore Road building it can be both, in the same structure, a floor apart.

A commercial catering appliance is a different proposition from a domestic cooktop: different requirements, different ventilation considerations, and a different scale of supply.

That means the first thing worth establishing is which supply serves what. It determines how the installation is isolated, what capacity is available, and who is affected when something gets turned off, which in a building with a trading tenancy is not a trivial question.

We work that out before quoting rather than discovering it with a spanner in hand, and we pressure test what we are connecting to rather than only the appliance going on the end.

Gas work in a Newtown building

Commercial and domestic in one structure

A catering appliance downstairs and a cooktop upstairs are different classes of installation with different requirements.

They exist a floor apart here, which is unusual and worth treating carefully.

Establish which supply serves what

It determines isolation, capacity and who is affected when something is turned off.

In a building with a trading tenancy, turning off the wrong thing is a real cost.

We test what we connect to

Certifying a new appliance on a line losing pressure elsewhere achieves nothing.

On pipework added to by successive owners and tenants, that test is not a formality.

The certificate matters more in a shared building

It is legally required, and it is what tells everybody else that work in one part of the building was done properly.

Keep it with the building papers rather than a kitchen drawer.

Unlicensed work is not only your risk

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

In a building with a business and other residents, unlicensed work puts people who never agreed to it at risk.

Step 04

Gas fitting questions.

What Newtown locals ask us before booking a plumber.

Ask us yours Licensed plumbing van covering Newtown and the surrounding suburbs

I can smell gas. What do I do?

Get everyone outside first, and in a building with a business in it, tell them on your way past. Do not touch any switch and do not use a phone indoors. If the meter is safely on your route out, turn it off. Then ring from outside.

Is commercial gas work different from residential?

Yes, substantially. Commercial catering appliances have different requirements, different ventilation considerations and a different scale of supply from a domestic cooktop. In a building with a kitchen downstairs and a flat above, both exist in the same structure, and they are not the same job.

Can a flat upstairs and a shop below share a meter?

Arrangements vary and it is worth establishing rather than assuming. What matters practically is knowing which supply serves what before any work starts, because it determines isolation, capacity and who is affected when something is turned off.

What is a Certificate of Compliance?

The document a licensed gasfitter issues certifying the work was done to standard. It is legally required and it is the only durable record the job was done properly. In a shared building it is also what tells everybody else that the work in one part of it was done safely. We issue one on every gas job without being asked.

There is old gas work and no paperwork. Should I worry?

It is worth resolving rather than wondering about, particularly in a building with other occupants. We can test the installation and tell you plainly what state it is in, which is cheap against what it settles.

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 with a business and other residents in it the risk is not confined to whoever did it.

What does gas work cost in Newtown?

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.
