What can a gas line connect?

A licensed gas fitter can connect:

  • Cooktops and built-in ovens, new or replacing old ones
  • Space heaters, flued and unflued, checked for clearances before fitting
  • BBQ bayonets and outdoor kitchens, with pipe run out to the yard
  • Pool heater pipework, connected and pressure tested

Every connection is checked with soapy water or a detector, then the burners are lit and adjusted.

Can an old cottage carry a new appliance?

The gas line gets checked first

Old gas pipe sized for a single small heater can starve a new appliance when everything is lit, so we check its size against the new demand.

The walls get a look too

Cottages split into student rooms can hide makeshift pipe behind the lining, and a new appliance has to join onto whatever a past refit left.

Neither stops the install. They just mean the quote is built on the pipe as it is.

Installing Gas in Birmingham Gardens Homes

Two building eras

The first Birmingham Gardens lots were sold in the 1930s and the suburb grew through the 1960s, so fibro and weatherboard cottages sit beside brick-veneer homes and later units. Each era needs its gas pipe checked against the new appliance.

Conversions left their mark

Quick, low-cost room splits for student tenants added improvised pipework in kitchens and laundries. Where an existing run is unsafe or too small, replacing it is priced before the new cooktop or heater is fitted.

Clay and shale under the yard

Reactive clay over shale makes trenching to a BBQ point slower than sandy ground, and that is allowed for in the price.

How is the install priced?

An install is priced on the appliance's position relative to your existing gas pipe.

  • Metres of new pipe between the nearest tee and the appliance
  • Any old pipe that is too small or unsound and must be renewed
  • Getting the pipe there: under the floor, inside a wall or in a trench
  • Flue work for a heater or a ventilation check for a cooktop

What happens when you call

  1. 01

    Ring or send the form

    Call (02) 4063 1232 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.

  2. 02

    A fixed price first

    A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.

  3. 03

    Fitted and certified

    The appliance is connected, pressure tested and commissioned, and you get the compliance details before we pack up.

  4. 04

    Covered for a year

    Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.

When we're not the right call

Some ovens and heaters need a power point beside them; if there is none, a licensed electrician installs it before we connect the gas. Buying the appliance is up to you or your supplier; we fit it.

Questions before the cooktop goes in

Do you install gas cooktops in Birmingham Gardens share houses?

Yes. In a student share house the landlord pays, even if a tenant makes the booking. Photos and a detailed invoice go to the owner, showing what was fitted without a trip to the property.

Can an old fibro cottage here take a new gas oven?

It can, once the gas line passes a test. We check the pipe size and condition before you order the oven, and if it cannot supply enough gas, the upgrade appears in the same quote as the install.

Does a BBQ point near the back fence cost more than a cooktop swap?

Yes, as a rule. A BBQ point needs new pipe laid and tested out into the yard, while a cooktop swap reuses the connection on the bench. The distance and trenching through clay set the difference.

Who arranges gas work in a rental property here?

Either side can start it. Tenants ring us directly for faults, and owners or property managers book installs and changeovers. Whoever calls, the paperwork goes to the person paying, and the tenant hears when to expect us and is left with a tidy work area.
