What licensed gas fitting covers

Our gas fitting work for homes and businesses typically includes:

• Installing and extending consumer gas piping
• Connecting cooktops, ovens, heaters and other approved gas appliances
• Fitting and relocating bayonet points for portable heaters or BBQ points where permitted
• Work on natural gas and LPG systems within licensed scope
• Pressure testing, purging and commissioning
• Issuing compliance certificates for completed gas work

Owner-operated since 2017, we explain the scope in plain English before we open a line — what is being altered, how isolation will work, and what certificate you will receive at the end.

New gas lines and extensions

Adding a cooktop where there was none, running gas to an outdoor kitchen, or extending a line for a new heater all need correctly sized pipework, proper supports, ventilation considerations and compliant routes through the building fabric.

We plan the route to minimise chasing through finished rooms where possible, protect pipework from damage, and leave isolation points accessible for future service. Homes in Magill and Rostrevor often combine older floor structures with new appliance wish-lists — early inspection avoids promising a route that joists will not allow.

Appliance connections and bayonet points

Connecting an appliance is more than “hooking up a hose”. We check regulator arrangements where relevant, confirm the appliance is suitable for the gas type, connect with approved fittings, test for tightness, and light/commission per manufacturer requirements within our scope.

• Kitchen cooktops and freestanding gas cookers — see also dedicated gas cooktop installation
• Gas hot water plant connections alongside gas hot water installation
• Space heaters and approved outdoor points
• Bayonet fittings installed or relocated to a safe, compliant position

If you have purchased an appliance already, send the model details when booking so we can confirm gas type, connection size and any clearances before we arrive.

Natural gas and LPG

We work with both natural gas and LPG arrangements commonly found across Adelaide suburbs. Changeover between gas types, bottle locations, regulators and appliance injectors must be handled correctly — the wrong combination is dangerous.

Tell us which supply you have when you enquire. For multi-appliance LPG sites or commercial kitchens, we discuss load and layout so the system remains practical to service and isolate.

Testing and gas compliance certificates

Uncertified gas work is a liability. After completing gas fitting we pressure-test the relevant sections, commission appliances as required, and issue the compliance certificate that belongs with your property records and insurance file.

• Keep certificates with your home or business documents
• Provide copies to strata managers or landlords when work is in a tenancy or common area
• Ask us if you are unsure whether a planned alteration needs certification — it usually does

We treat paperwork as part of the job, not an optional extra.

Gas fitting on builds and renovations

New builds and major renovations lock in gas routes at rough-in. Coordinating with framing, cabinetry and heater locations early prevents expensive rework. Our gas fitting pairs naturally with construction plumbing when the same site needs water, drainage and gas delivered to one program.

For kitchen renovations in western and inner suburbs such as Torrensville, we often time gas cooktop connections after bench templates are confirmed so penetrations land in the right place — not under a sink bowl.

Smell gas? Prioritise safety

If you smell gas, suspect a leak, or hear unusual hissing near an appliance or meter:

1. Do not operate light switches or create sparks if you can avoid it
2. Ventilate if safe, avoid using naked flames
3. Shut off gas at the meter or cylinder valve if you know how and it is safe to do so
4. Evacuate if the smell is strong and call emergency services if anyone is at risk
5. Contact us for licensed gas leak detection and repair during business hours

Gas leak work is a safety response first and a certificate job second. Do not “test” with a lighter.

Maintenance and preventing gas issues

Alongside dedicated gas jobs, scheduled plumbing maintenance can include visual and operational checks of accessible gas connections so perished hoses and questionable DIY adaptors are caught early. Maintenance does not replace a full gas service by appliance specialists where manufacturers require it — we stay inside licensed gas fitting scope and tell you when another technician is the right call.

Outdoor kitchens, heaters and entertaining areas

Adelaide homeowners increasingly want gas at the barbecue, pizza oven or outdoor cooktop. Outdoor points need weather-aware routing, correct materials, safe clearances and isolation that still works when furniture moves seasonally. We will not place a bayonet where a curtain, blind or storage box makes it unsafe.

Tell us whether the outdoor appliance is fixed or portable, and whether you want a dedicated isolation valve in an accessible cupboard. Good outdoor gas work disappears into the design — until you need to shut it off quickly.

Strata, rentals and landlord responsibilities

Gas work in units and rentals often needs clearer paperwork. Landlords and strata managers should receive certificates and a short description of what changed. Tenants should not authorise major gas alterations without owner approval — we will ask who owns the decision before cutting into a line.

• Document appliance replacements in tenanted kitchens
• Confirm whether a heater bayonet is common property or lot-owned before relocating it
• Keep isolation accessible for emergency shut-off

What we need from you before gas work starts

• Gas type (natural gas or LPG) and meter / cylinder photos if unsure
• Appliance make and model, or the box label
• Preferred point locations marked on a simple floor sketch
• Any previous certificates or known DIY alterations
• Access notes for meters behind locked gates or in shared plant rooms

Clear information upfront means fewer site surprises and a smoother certification process at the end.

Myths about gas work we still hear

• “The appliance guy said the hose is fine forever.” — Flexible connections age. If something looks cracked, discoloured or DIY-adapted, get it assessed.
• “I can cap it myself until later.” — Improper caps and plugs are a common leak source. Leave isolation and capping to licensed gas fitting.
• “If it lights, it must be safe.” — Incomplete combustion, poor ventilation or marginal joints can still be hazardous. Testing exists for a reason.
• “Certificates are only for new houses.” — Alterations and many appliance connections need proper documentation too.

Ask questions. A good gas fitter would rather explain a requirement than leave you unsure why a point cannot go where the furniture sketch suggested.

Commercial and light hospitality gas work

Small commercial sites — offices with tea-point water heaters, studios, and light hospitality tenancies — need the same licensed approach with clearer downtime planning. We schedule within business hours to limit disruption and coordinate with shopfitters when benches and grease areas are still being installed. Complex commercial kitchen upgrades may need additional specialists; we will say when a job exceeds practical single-trade scope.

Keep Streamline’s number — 0401 916 325 — with your meter location and any cylinder cage keys. When a heater fails on a cold morning or a cooktop move is suddenly brought forward, having access details ready shortens the visit and gets certification completed the same day wherever parts and conditions allow.

How to book a gas fitter

1. Call or email with the appliance or line work needed and your gas type if known.
2. Share model numbers or photos of the existing meter / cylinder setup.
3. We quote upfront, complete the licensed work within business hours, test, and issue certification.
