Gas leaks we repair
Private gas supply pipes
Locate and repair leaks in pipework running from the meter towards your home and appliances.
Underground gas lines
Investigate leaks in buried pipework and explain the access and repairs required.
Internal gas pipework
Repair leaking pipes and fittings supplying cooktops, heaters and hot water systems.

Repair or replace your gas pipe?
A damaged fitting or isolated pipe fault may be repairable if the surrounding pipework is sound. Where deterioration is widespread or leaks keep returning, replacement may offer a more reliable solution.
We assess the condition, explain your options and confirm pricing before you approve the repair.
Upfront gas leak repair pricing
The cost depends on the testing required, leak location, access and replacement parts or pipework.
We explain any investigation charges before testing and provide repair pricing once the fault is identified. Additional work only proceeds with your approval.
Our business-hours call-out fee is $50, waived if you proceed. After-hours fees are confirmed when you call.

Who should I call if I suspect a gas leak?
From a safe location, call your gas distributor's emergency number listed on your gas bill. Call 000 if there is immediate danger. Once the immediate risk has been addressed, contact us to arrange investigation and repairs to private gas pipework.
What is a gas service renewal?
It involves replacing the gas supply pipe from your meter to your home or appliances. We assess the existing pipework, explain the proposed replacement and provide upfront pricing.
What are the signs of a possible gas leak?
A rotten-egg smell or unexplained hissing near gas pipework can indicate a leak. Do not try to locate it yourself. Leave the affected area, avoid ignition sources and call your gas distributor from a safe location.
Can I use my cooktop if I smell gas?
No. Stop using the appliance, avoid flames and do not operate electrical switches or devices nearby. Leave the affected area and contact your gas distributor from a safe location.
Can I turn the gas back on after a leak?
Do not restore the supply yourself. Follow the instructions of your gas distributor or licensed gasfitter. Repairs and testing must be completed, and any distributor requirements met, before the supply is restored.
Will I receive paperwork for the repair?
We provide an invoice detailing the completed work and a compliance certificate where required. Let us know if your gas distributor has requested specific documentation.
