Good to know
Queensland licensing and certification
In Queensland, installing, connecting, modifying or disconnecting gas pipework and appliances is licensed gas work. It cannot legally be done by a homeowner or a general handyman, and work that is not done under licence is not certifiable or insurable. Every gas installation is pressure tested and certified on completion, and the certificate is part of the job.
Plumbing and drainage work is licensed separately through the QBCC. This business holds QBCC licence 15464961 for plumbing and drainage; gas work on our jobs is carried out under a Queensland gas work licence issued by the Petroleum and Gas Inspectorate.
Commercial gas fitting
Cafes, restaurants, food preparation sites and workshops around Caboolture depend on gas for cooking and hot water. We connect commercial cooklines and appliances, upgrade gas systems, carry out safety checks and repair faults with as little downtime as the job allows.

The gas fitter checks whether the line can carry the new appliance, or tests the system to find the leak.
3

You get the price before pipe is run or a fitting is replaced.
4
Test, certify, hand over
The installation is pressure tested and a certificate of compliance is issued for gas work in Queensland. You are shown the isolation valve before we leave.
Questions answered
I can smell gas. What do I do?
Turn the gas off at the meter or the cylinder, do not use switches, lights or flames, open doors and windows and leave the building. Call 1300 568 203 from outside. Do not go back in until it has been checked.
Do I need a licensed gas fitter to connect a cooktop?
Yes. Connecting, disconnecting or modifying a gas appliance is licensed work in Queensland, and the installation is certified on completion.
Is the gas licence the same as the plumbing licence?
No. Plumbing and drainage licences come from the QBCC. Gas work licences are issued by the Petroleum and Gas Inspectorate within Resources Safety and Health Queensland.
How often should a gas hose be replaced?
Flexible appliance hoses are generally rated for about five years. We check the date and replace a hose that is due as part of any appliance job.
Need gas work in Caboolture?
Call 1300 568 203 or book online. For a suspected leak, turn the gas off first and call rather than booking.
