What we install and connect

• Gas cooktops (including multi-burner and specialty configurations within approved scope)
• Gas ovens and freestanding gas cookers / ranges
• Replacement connections where an existing point is sound
• New or extended consumer gas piping to a kitchen location
• Isolation valves positioned for safe future service

Owner-operated since 2017, we match the appliance to your gas type (natural gas or LPG), confirm regulator needs where relevant, and will not connect an appliance that is clearly wrong for the supply.

New install, replacement or upgrade?

New install — no existing kitchen gas point, or the point is in the wrong place for the new bench layout. Expect line work plus connection and certification.

Replacement — swap like-for-like or similar footprint on an existing compliant point. Still needs correct flexible connection, testing and paperwork — not a DIY hose change.

Upgrade — more burners, different connection size, dual-fuel range, or moving from LPG bottles to a different arrangement. We assess load and pipe sizing so the upgrade does not starve other appliances.

Kitchen renos in Rostrevor and Torrensville often combine all three: old point, new island bench, bigger cooktop. Early plumber involvement stops the cabinet maker cutting a hole over an unreachable isolation valve.

Running or extending the gas line

When the existing point will not reach, we plan a compliant route through cupboards, walls or floors, support the pipework properly, and leave the isolation accessible. Chasing finished walls is sometimes necessary; we discuss cosmetic implications before cutting.

Broader line work sits under our gas fitting service — cooktop installation jobs that need significant reticulation are quoted as a combined scope so you are not surprised mid-install.

Benches, clearances and kitchen trade coordination

Gas appliances need manufacturer clearances to combustible surfaces, rangehoods and walls. We install to those requirements and will flag a layout that cannot be made safe as drawn.

• Confirm cut-out sizes with the appliance template before stone is cut
• Agree isolation valve location with the cabinet maker
• Coordinate with electricians on ignition supplies for dual-fuel or electric-assist appliances
• Time connection after benches are stable enough to take the cooktop weight

If your project is a full gut renovation that also touches bathrooms, our bathroom renovations plumbing work is a separate wet-area scope — but the same local team can align site days so you are not juggling multiple plumbing contractors across one renovation program.

Connect, test, check for leaks, certify

On install day we typically:

1. Isolate gas safely and prepare the connection point
2. Fit approved connectors and isolation as required
3. Seat the cooktop / position the freestanding appliance
4. Test for leaks and verify burner operation / commissioning steps within scope
5. Issue a gas compliance certificate for the work completed

If we detect a smell or pressure loss beyond the new connection, we pause and investigate — including gas leak detection on the wider system if needed — rather than leaving a marginal joint “to settle”.

Ovens, ranges and dual-fuel appliances

Freestanding gas cookers and separate gas ovens need floor protection, stability brackets where specified, and clear access to isolation. Dual-fuel ranges combine gas cooktops with electric ovens — we handle the gas side and coordinate so electrical connections are completed by the right trade before final commissioning assumptions are made.

Send model numbers when booking. Spec sheets prevent wrong hose lengths, thread types and regulator assumptions.

New builds and major renovations

On construction sites, gas cooktop points should be rough-ins at the right height and cupboard location long before stone arrives. We coordinate cooktop-related gas work with construction plumbing programs so kitchen gas is not an afterthought on handover week. Homes in Paradise and similar eastern suburbs often stage kitchen fit-off after painting — we book within Monday–Friday 7:30am–5:00pm to match that window.

Hot water and other gas appliances on the same visit?

Sometimes a kitchen upgrade coincides with a heater or hot water change. We can discuss combining scopes with gas hot water installation when it genuinely saves a second isolation — quoted clearly so kitchen and plant work stay distinct on the invoice if you prefer.

What to prepare before installation day

• Appliance on site (or delivery timed to our visit)
• Gas type confirmed; LPG cylinder access if applicable
• Bench cut-out complete and cooktop physically able to drop in
• Clear cupboard access to the isolation point
• Parking / unit access notes for apartment kitchens

Choosing a cooktop that suits your kitchen and gas supply

We are not appliance salespeople, but we will flag mismatches early. A high-output five-burner cooktop on a marginal pipe run may underperform. An LPG appliance on natural gas (or the reverse) without proper conversion is unsafe. Island installations need enough hose or hard-piped length without stress loops that kink.

• Match gas type and injector configuration
• Confirm maximum gas consumption against supply capacity
• Plan rangehood capture for the cooktop width you choose
• Leave service access so future leak checks are possible

Apartment and townhouse kitchen constraints

Multi-dwelling kitchens sometimes share risers, have limited cupboard depth, or restrict hot works and after-hours noise. Tell us about building rules, fire safety requirements and loading dock bookings when you enquire. We work within Monday–Friday 7:30am–5:00pm and can usually align with building access windows when given notice.

If a smell of gas already exists in the apartment before the new cooktop arrives, say so — we may need leak detection before installing another appliance onto a compromised line.

After installation — first week checklist

• Confirm every burner lights evenly and shuts off cleanly
• Keep the certificate with your renovation folder
• Show household members where the isolation valve is
• Report any odour immediately — do not keep cooking through it
• Avoid storing aerosols or light flammables in the cupboard that houses the gas isolation

Serving Adelaide East, North-East and West

Confirm coverage on areas we serve or call with your suburb. Based at Russell Rd in Athelstone, we regularly connect kitchen gas appliances across the foothills and into western suburbs — often same-week within business hours when the cooktop is already on site and the bench cut-out is ready.

Warranty, manuals and keeping paperwork together

Appliance warranties often expect professional installation. Keep your gas compliance certificate with the cooktop manual and proof of purchase. If a service technician visits years later, that paperwork proves the connection was licensed work rather than a mystery hose.

We also recommend photographing the isolation valve location before kickboards go on — future you will not want to guess which cupboard hides the shut-off during a leak scare.

Outdoor cooktops and alfresco kitchens

Alfresco cooktops and built-in barbecues need weather-aware routing and clearances suited to outdoor use. Tell us whether the appliance is under a solid roof, near a screen, or fully exposed. We will not place isolation where rain pools or where a hinged door can shear a hose. Outdoor kitchen gas is still certified gas fitting — treat it with the same seriousness as an indoor cooktop.

How to book gas cooktop installation

1. Call or email with appliance model, gas type and whether a point already exists.
2. Share photos of the current setup and bench cut-out if underway.
3. We quote, schedule within business hours, connect, test and certify.
