What Does a Gas Fitter Actually Do?
Gas work splits into two broad calls: fitting new appliances to the gas supply, and finding faults in the lines that feed them. Both need a licensed hand and a detector on the day.
- Cooktops, ovens, barbecues and pool heaters hooked up to natural gas, each with its own shut-off valve
- Leaks traced with gas detectors, then the repair pressure-tested before the supply is restored
- Continuous-flow and storage gas hot water units installed and serviced, which you can read more about on the hot water page
- Old gas pipe in older homes checked and brought up to standard during renovations instead of being bypassed
Wallsend Gas Fitting Services
Two jobs have their own pages:
Gas appliance installation
A new cooktop, oven, barbecue or pool heater connected, tested and signed off: get the appliance connected
Gas leaks
A smell inside the house, a hiss behind a wall, or a bill climbing for no reason, traced and fixed: find and repair the leak

A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 3
Fit, test, certify
Your licensed fitter runs the new line or repairs the fault, then pressure tests every joint with the gas detector so the result is proven, not assumed.

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.
What Drives the Price of Gas Work?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
Gas work is priced first on how much new pipe goes in.
- Length of pipe A barbecue beside the kitchen wall needs a few metres; a pool heater at the back fence needs a lot more
- What the existing line allows Older piping sometimes needs upgrading before a new appliance can sit safely on the end of it
- Access Pipe chased through a brick-veneer wall costs more than one clipped along an accessible laundry wall
- After-hours Gas work at night or on a weekend costs more, and that's in the quote you see first
Why Do Older Homes Here Need Extra Care?
The mining-era cottages around Cowper and Metcalfe Streets have had their gas fittings in place for generations
Brick-veneer homes and newer estates have younger pipe
Cool winters keep gas heaters busy

When We're Not the Right Call
Smelling gas indoors is a safety call first: get everyone outside without touching switches, and ring the gas network's emergency line before anyone else. Our fitters take over once the property is safe. When the fault is electrical, like an ignition module or a heater's wiring, it needs an electrician, and you'll know that before paying us anything.
Questions People Ask About Gas Work
Does a cooktop swap in Wallsend need a licensed gas fitter?
Yes. Disconnecting the old cooktop and connecting the new one is licensed gas work, and the joints are pressure tested with the supply off until every one holds. It is not a DIY job, and you get the fixed price before we touch a thing.
How old is too old for the gas piping in a mining-era cottage?
Piping that predates the mid-century brick-veneer era is worth inspecting rather than trusting. Corrosion at older joints and fittings shows up on the detector long before you can smell it, so a check before a renovation saves guessing later.
Can you connect a BBQ or pool heater to the house gas supply?
Yes, both are standard gas fitting jobs. We run the new pipe, fit a shut-off valve, test the full length with the gas detector and give you the compliance paperwork, all at a price agreed before we start.
Do you do gas work for shops and clubs on the Nelson Street strip?
We do. Commercial gas fitting for kitchens and continuous-flow systems is part of the run, scheduled around trading hours and priced ahead of the day. The same 365-day warranty on all work covers a shop the same as a cottage.
