Gas Jobs a Gas Fitter Handles at Home
Gas work covers installing, removing, altering, repairing, servicing, testing or certifying a gas system, and that includes all the pipework and connections between the supply and the appliance. The gas work licence a Queensland gasfitter carries authorises the lot. Servicing counts too: gas appliances such as cookers and barbecues should be checked and serviced periodically by a licensed gasfitter, and installed and used to the manufacturer's instructions.
For homes here, the practical jobs break into a few groups:
Leaks and safety faults
a gas smell, a suspect connection or a line that needs testing. Our gas leak repairs page covers what that work involves.
New appliances
connecting a cooktop and running the pipe and fittings to suit it. The gas cooktop installation page steps through it.
Outdoor points
bayonets for barbecues and heaters on decks and verandahs. See the gas bayonet installation page.
Servicing and testing
periodic checks on existing appliances and pipework.
A gas hot water unit gets a passing mention here, because the tank and the plumbing around it belong on our hot water plumbing page.
Gas Work Costs for Pipework and Appliances
The price moves on four things: what the job is, how easily we reach the pipework, how many gas points the property has, and whether the supply needs a check first. A repair or a service on one appliance sits at the simpler end. Running a new line to a second gas point adds pipe, joints and testing.
The supply check runs before a new system or an extra appliance goes in. The licence holder confirms the supply can meet the extra demand: for LPG, the cylinder storage and vaporisation rate; for piped gas, the meter's capacity and the pipe sizing.
Access matters as much as appliance type in Wilston. Interwar houses on the slopes toward Eildon Hill Reserve often bury their pipe runs under floors or behind hard walls, which adds labour to any connection. In the townhouse rows near Granville Street, a shared wall can sit between the gas point and the meter, so we trace the run before quoting.
Before tools come out, you get a fixed quote. The price stands as written, the job is flat-rate, and your go-ahead comes first.
How to Check a Gas Fitter's Licence
Gas work is for a licensed gasfitter alone in Queensland, so that is who does it here. Before anyone starts on your gas system, ask to sight the gas work licence. It is a fair question and a quick answer, and no honest tradesperson minds showing it.
Plumbing and drainage work runs on its own licences: an occupational licence to do the work, plus a contractor licence to take jobs on as a business, both issued by the QBCC. A plumber may hold several registrations, but the gas one is what you are checking for a gas job. The QBCC's online registers let you confirm a licence in about a minute, so a quick search settles any doubt.
Who Receives the Gas Certificate
A gas system compliance certificate certifies that a finished gas installation or alteration is compliant, and the licence holder gives it to you as the owner immediately on completion. Hold onto it: it is the paper trail for the work, and it matters if you sell or renovate later.
Where your fuel gas comes through a distribution network, the network operator also gets a copy, within 5 days of the work being finished. You keep the original either way, and the paperwork follows the gas system rather than the tradesperson.

Questions Wilston Customers Ask About Gas
Call (07) 3523 7172Are plumbers and gas fitters the same thing?
No, they are not. Gas work belongs to a licensed gasfitter alone, and a plumber needs a gas work licence to do it. Ask which licence your tradesperson holds before booking.
What certificate comes after a new gas installation?
A gas system compliance certificate, given to you as the owner the moment the installation or alteration is finished.
Who gets the gas compliance certificate?
You receive the original as the owner. Where a gas distribution network supplies the property, its operator is sent a copy within 5 days of completion.
How much does a gas fitter cost in Wilston?
The job type, how reachable the pipes are, and the count of gas points on the property set the figure, along with any supply check before a new line goes in. A fixed quote settles it before any work starts.
Are your gas fitters licensed for gas work in Wilston?
Yes, they are. Every job is done by a licensed plumber whose registration covers plumbing and gasfitting, and we are licensed and insured.
Do the gas rules cover both natural gas and LPG?
Yes, they do. Queensland's gas safety guidance covers piped natural gas and LPG in cylinders or a tank alike.
