0450 963 633Gas Fitter in Carina, Brisbane
Carina was mostly built in a rush after the Second World War. From 1950 the Queensland Housing Commission put up around a thousand homes here, some of them imported Italian kit houses, and private estates followed through the 1960s. Today the original brick, weatherboard and fibro houses sit beside knock-down rebuilds and townhouses, with Creek Road and Carina Leagues Club as local landmarks. Natural gas in this part of Brisbane is on the Allgas network, though not every street is connected. Cockatoo Plumbing Electrical is based in Toowong, Brisbane, and does licensed gas fitting in Carina. Phone 0450 963 633.
Post-war houses
Many Carina homes have never had gas, or had a single line to an old stove that was later disconnected. Adding a gas cooktop or a continuous flow water heater means checking whether a main is in the street, applying for a meter if it is, or setting up LPG if it is not. Old capped-off pipe in the wall or under the floor is tested or removed rather than reused blindly.
Knock-down rebuilds
Where a new two-storey home replaces a post-war house, gas is planned from the slab up. We work out pipe sizes for every appliance at once, place the meter or cylinders where delivery and reading are easy, and run the line so it is protected through the build.
LPG setups
On streets without a main, two 45 kg LPG cylinders on a concrete base with a changeover regulator are the usual arrangement. Cylinders need clearance from doors, windows, drains and ignition sources, and a clear path for the delivery driver. They also need testing every 10 years.
Outdoor entertaining
A bayonet point on the patio lets a barbecue or heater plug straight into fixed pipe, and a dedicated line can supply an outdoor kitchen.
