0450 963 633Gas Fitter in Ashgrove, Brisbane
Ashgrove kitchens get renovated often, and a gas cooktop is still a popular choice in the older Queenslanders and bungalows along its leafy streets. Some homes are on the natural gas network; others run a cooktop, hot water unit or barbecue from LPG cylinders beside the house. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, and provides licensed gas fitting for Ashgrove homes and the shops along Waterworks Road. Call 0450 963 633.
Gas in a kitchen renovation
Moving a cooktop to an island bench, or swapping an old freestanding stove for a separate cooktop and wall oven, usually means altering the gas pipework under the floor. In a raised house that is often straightforward from underneath; in a house that has been built in below, the route may need more planning. The new appliance must be installed to the manufacturer’s clearances and the gas supply sized for it, and the work finishes with a compliance certificate.
Natural gas or LPG?
Whether your street has a natural gas main depends on the location, so check with a gas retailer before planning a new connection. If you are on LPG, the cylinders need a level base, ventilation, clearances from openings and drains, and an easy path for exchange deliveries, which on some sloping Ashgrove blocks takes thought.

Paperwork you should receive
When gas work is installed or altered, the licensed gasfitter issues a gas system compliance certificate to the owner, and a copy goes to the network operator or gas supplier. Keep it with the house records; it is useful when you sell or renovate again.
Smell gas?
Turn off the appliance and the supply at the meter or cylinder, avoid switches and flames, ventilate the area and call your gas distributor’s fault line from outside.
