Redhead Gas Fitting Services
The gas work splits two ways: putting something new on the line, or finding out why the line is losing gas.
Gas appliance installation
** we connect a new hob, wall oven, heater, outdoor BBQ or pool heater connected and commissioned, with its feed pipe proven tight.
Gas leak repairs
** a smell or a failed test chased along the house pipework with a detector, the faulty joint remade and the run tested again.
When Should You Call a Gas Fitter?
Anything that opens the gas line is licensed work. Book one when you have:
- A kitchen rework that needs the hob or oven moved or swapped
- A deck that wants a bayonet for the barbecue or a patio heater
- A pilot light that drops out, or burners showing ragged yellow tips
- A new smell at the meter, the cooktop or a heater
- Green or flaking corrosion on copper where it runs along an outside wall
Watch the flame. Clean combustion is blue. Yellow or orange means poor burning, so leave that appliance off until it is checked.
How Does a Gas Job Get Priced?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
"We had an urgent gas problem that required immediate attention at our home…on a Friday afternoon. … Identified the issue, fixed and tested" Lee
On gas work the price starts with the length of new pipe:
- Pipe length Teeing a bayonet off a line that already reaches the deck is quick. Feeding a heater at the far end of the house means metres of new copper.
- Getting to it Crawling a low subfloor or opening a lined wall adds hours that an open garage run never needs.
- Coastal-grade fittings Marine-rated brass costs more up front and holds up far longer against the salt here.

Salt Air and Your Gas Fittings

Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
When We're Not the Right Call
Gas lost from the meter body, or from the pipe under the street, belongs to the gas distributor, so their faults line is the call. We handle everything from the meter outlet into the house. If it's unclear which side the fault is on, ask us on the phone first.
What Else Runs Off the Same Van
Some gas questions end up somewhere else. Picking a continuous-flow or storage heater belongs with hot water systems, a fault at night goes to the emergency plumber, and water escaping rather than gas is water leak detection.
Gas Questions From Redhead Homes
Do you connect gas BBQs and outdoor heaters in Redhead?
Yes. A bayonet on the deck, a fixed BBQ line or a patio heater is licensed gas fitter work, priced before a hole is drilled. Once the fitting is in, the new pipe holds a pressure test and the connection gets a detector pass before we pack up.
A faint gas smell near my cooktop. Should I call you first?
If it is strong or sudden, get people out, leave switches alone and ring the gas distributor's faults line first. A faint smell at the hob is ours to chase. We check the cooktop connection and the pipe behind it with a detector and fix the joint that is weeping.
Does salt air shorten the life of gas pipework too?
It does. Exposed copper and brass on the weather side of a house take the onshore spray all year, and joints corrode long before the pipe does. Marine-rated fittings at install time cost less than chasing corroded unions later.
Can you service a gas hot water unit as well as fit one?
Yes. We install gas storage cylinders and continuous-flow units, and we service and repair them too. If yours is failing and you are weighing repair against a new one, our hot water page walks through that decision.
