Gas Fitting The Gap
Licensed gas fitters for homes and businesses across The Gap and the surrounding northwest Brisbane area. New connections, appliance installations, gas leak detection, repairs and 24/7 emergency response — all work fully licensed and to code.
Gas work must be performed by a licensed gas fitter.
DIY gas repairs are illegal in Queensland and can cause fires, explosions, and carbon monoxide poisoning. If you smell gas — leave the property immediately, don't use any switches, and call us on (07) 3519 4689.
Licensed Gas Fitters — The Gap & Northwest Brisbane
Queensland law is unambiguous: every piece of gas work — connecting an appliance, extending a line, replacing a valve — must be done by a licensed gas fitter. There is no DIY exception, and the consequences of unlicensed gas work can be fatal. Our gas fitters are fully licensed under Queensland regulations, issue compliance certificates on completion of every job, and carry 24/7 emergency cover for gas incidents.
The Gap and surrounding northwest Brisbane suburbs — Ashgrove, Bardon, Keperra and beyond — have well-established gas networks. Many homes run gas cooking, gas hot water and gas heating, and the hilly, cooler climate at the foot of the D'Aguilar Range makes gas heating a popular choice. Whether a homeowner in Bardon wants a new cooktop connected, a kitchen in Ashgrove needs a gas line relocated for a renovation, or a business in Keperra needs a commercial gas appliance commissioned — we do it properly, with the right paperwork.
If you smell gas, don't call us from inside the property. Get out, call the gas distributor's emergency line, then call us on (07) 3519 4689 — we respond 24/7.

Signs You May Have a Gas Leak
If you notice any of these, treat it as an emergency — leave the property and call us immediately.
Smell of gas
A rotten egg or sulphur-like smell near appliances, pipes or the gas meter is the most common sign of a leak.
Hissing near pipework
A hissing or whistling sound near gas pipes, valves, fittings, or flexible connections suggests gas is escaping under pressure.
Yellow or orange flame
Gas appliances should burn with a clean blue flame. A yellow, orange, or flickering flame indicates incomplete combustion and a potential issue with the gas supply or appliance.
Pilot lights going out
Pilot lights that keep extinguishing on heaters or hot water systems may indicate a gas supply issue or problem with the gas valve or thermocouple.
Headaches or nausea
Unexplained headaches, dizziness, or nausea when indoors — particularly near gas appliances — can be a sign of carbon monoxide or a gas leak. Take it seriously and ventilate the area.
Meter moving when off
If your gas meter is registering usage when all appliances are switched off, there's a good chance gas is escaping somewhere in your system.
Suspected gas leak?
Leave the property, don't use any switches or open flames, ventilate if safe to do so — then call us immediately.
How We Fix Gas Problems
Every gas job starts with making the area safe. We then accurately locate the fault, carry out compliant repairs, and pressure-test before restoring service.
Gas Leak Repair Process
Isolate the supply
We shut off the gas supply to make the property safe before any investigation begins.
Locate the fault
Using calibrated leak detection equipment, we pinpoint the exact source — whether it's in pipework, fittings, valves, or flexible connections.
Repair and test
We repair or replace the affected components, then pressure-test the system and verify safe operation before restoring your gas supply.
Low Pressure & Poor Performance
Inspect the system
We check the regulator, meter connection, isolation valves, pipe sizing, and appliance connections to find the source of the issue.
Identify and clear the restriction
We clear or replace the restricted section — whether it's a faulty regulator, undersized pipe, blocked valve, or worn flexible connection.
Confirm flow and safety
We verify correct pressure and flow, run safety checks on all appliances, and confirm everything is operating reliably and to Australian standards.
Gas Fitting Costs
Clear pricing before we start — no hidden charges.
Gas fitting costs depend on the nature of the work. A simple appliance connection or BBQ point installation is generally straightforward. A gas leak repair or new connection involves a proper on-site assessment to identify exactly what's needed before we can price it accurately.
We don't provide estimates over the phone for repair or diagnostic work — a reliable diagnosis needs an on-site inspection. Once we've assessed, we provide a clear fixed-price quote before any work begins.
All gas work comes with a compliance certificate on completion, as required by Queensland regulations.
