Fletcher Gas Fitting Services
Household gas work falls into two jobs:
Gas Appliance Installation
New cooktops, wall ovens, barbecue lines out to the patio, pool heaters and heater points, each connected, tested and certified.
Gas Leak Tracing and Repair
A smell, a hiss or a yellow flame followed back to the failed fitting inside the property, then fixed and pressure tested.
Gas hot water sits next to this work, and the hot water hub covers gas tanks and instantaneous gas units as part of the repair-or-replace decision.
Why Use a Licensed Gas Fitter?
Gas work is licensed work in NSW, and the licence is not a formality. After any install or repair, a licensed gas fitter tests the line under pressure, certifies the job and carries the detector to find a leak rather than guess at it. A cooktop connected by someone without a gas licence is left uncertified, with nobody standing behind the joint.
The jobs that need that licence:
- New appliances: a cooktop, an oven, an outdoor barbecue or a pool heater
- Connections: mains gas or LPG bottles, heater bayonets and regulator swaps
- Repairs: leaking fittings, failed regulators and appliances burning yellow instead of blue
- Hot water: storage tanks and continuous-flow gas units, installed or repaired
When Should a Gas Job Be Booked?
Some gas faults announce themselves and some sit quietly for months. The clear ones are a smell near an appliance, a lazy yellow flame instead of a crisp blue one, or a burner that dies halfway through cooking. The quiet ones are the fittings that have not been touched since handover day.
A gas job is worth booking when:
- A new appliance arrives and needs connecting, since the maker's warranty can hinge on a certified install
- A bottle or regulator is past its test date
- A flame colour changes, which means the burn is wrong and the unit is running inefficiently or unsafely
- You are renovating and moving a cooktop or heater, which is a new line, not a reconnect

How Gas Work Is Priced
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
On gas work, that figure includes testing the existing line, because an old joint behind a wall can change the job.
"We had an urgent gas problem that required immediate attention at our home…on a Friday afternoon. … Identified the issue, fixed and tested" Lee
The figure moves with:
- How much is being connected, since one heater bayonet takes less time than a whole kitchen of gas appliances
- The line length, because a new run to an outdoor BBQ or pool heater takes more pipe and more testing
- How easily the current pipe can be reached, whether in a cupboard or under the floor
- A call outside business hours, which lifts the rate and is stated when you book
Estate gas lines age too. Most homes here, brick-veneer houses and newer townhouses alike, went up in stages from the late nineties, so the regulators, bayonet points and bottle connections fitted at handover have passed twenty years in service. Volume builds went up quickly, and a fitting that was never seated properly can hold for years before it starts to weep, so a fitter checks those joints during any gas job here.
Big blocks, long runs. By census figures, 77.9 per cent of dwellings here carry four or more bedrooms, and most sit on generous blocks. A gas line out to a back-yard BBQ area or a pool heater can travel a long way from the meter, and every extra joint is one more to test.
When we're not the right call: a leak from the meter assembly or the supply main beyond it is the network's to fix, and their emergency line should be rung first. If an appliance also has a wiring fault, a licensed electrician handles that side while the gas fitter handles the gas.
Gas Fitting Questions From Fletcher
Does connecting a BBQ need a licensed gas fitter?
Yes. Any fixed gas connection, including a BBQ plumbed to a bottle or a house line, is gas fitting work that only a licensed gas fitter can legally do, with certification when it is finished. The appliance installation page explains what the job involves, and the price includes both the connection and the certificate.
Can you convert a cooktop from bottle gas to natural gas?
Sometimes. It depends on whether natural gas reaches the street and whether the appliance has a conversion kit available. The fitter reads the appliance's data badge, confirms which gas reaches the house and whether a kit exists, then quotes, so you know early whether a conversion works or a new cooktop is the better path.
Is gas hot water still a good option in an estate home here?
It can be. Storage tanks and continuous-flow gas units both suit the larger family homes common in these estates, and an instantaneous gas unit never runs out mid-shower. The hot water hub weighs gas against electric, heat pump and solar for repair-or-replace decisions, and the gas side of that work is done by the same fitters.
What should I do if I can smell gas inside my Fletcher home?
Leave the house with everyone in it, and leave switches, appliances and anything that could spark alone as you go. Once outside, call the emergency line for the gas network if the smell seems to come from the meter or the footpath. After the supply is safe, the leak detection and repair page takes over.
