What a Licensed Gas Fitter Does Here
Gas work is a licensed trade on its own, and the jobs split into a few clear groups:
- New gas lines between the meter and a cooktop, heater, BBQ or pool heater
- Appliance installation, from ovens and cooktops to outdoor kitchens
- Leak detection and repairs, with testing before handover
- Gas hot water connections, storage or continuous flow
- Upgrades to old lines so a new appliance runs safely on them
Installs and leaks each have a page of their own further down.
When Does a Job Need a Gas Fitter?
Any job that touches the gas line or a gas appliance is legally licensed work, not a DIY weekend job. The signs worth a call:
- A new appliance waiting in the garage for a legal connection
- A smell of gas inside, near the meter or around the cooktop
- An appliance that lights late, burns yellow or cuts out mid-use
- A bottle-fed BBQ you want moved onto the mains supply
- An older home where the gas line predates the appliances now hanging off it
Testing comes standard on every job. Nothing gets signed off until the line holds pressure and the appliance burns clean.

Fast builds, basic fittings
Older lines, bigger appliances
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 pricing starts with the length and route of the pipe:
- Metres of new line from the meter to the appliance
- Pipe size, if the old line is too small for the new unit
- The route, as running under a concrete path or deck takes longer than along a wall
- Testing and certification, which every job carries regardless of size
When We're Not the Right Call
No gas at the meter, or a fault in the street supply, is for your gas distributor to fix. Wiring a new electric oven circuit or a power point for an ignition unit is electrician's work.

Questions Thornton Households Ask About Gas
Can you convert my BBQ from a bottle to mains gas?
Yes. We run a fixed line to a bayonet point where you want the BBQ, then leak-test it before the first cook. On most brick-veneer homes here the run is short, and the price is set before we start.
Is a gas smell in the house an emergency?
Treat it as one. Open windows, get everyone outside and leave switches alone, then ring your gas distributor's emergency line. We do the repair once the supply is safe, day or night.
Do you connect gas hot water systems here?
We do. The gas line is run or upsized, the storage or continuous-flow unit goes in, and the connection is tested at handover.
Does a gas appliance need a compliance certificate?
Yes. Only a licensed gas fitter can connect it, and the compliance paperwork comes with your invoice. Keep it, because a buyer may ask for it later.
