Professional Gas Fitting Services Across Rockingham

Gas fitting is one of the most safety-critical areas of plumbing work.

Our licensed gas fitter provides a full range of residential and commercial gas fitting services across Rockingham, Baldivis, Port Kennedy, Safety Bay, Warnbro, Secret Harbour, and all surrounding suburbs. Every job is completed to Australian Standards (AS/NZS 5601), pressure tested for safety, and backed by our workmanship guarantee.

Gas Appliance Installation

Gas Cooktops and Ovens

Upgrading to gas cooking is one of the most popular home improvements in Rockingham. Gas cooktops offer instant heat control, even flame distribution, and lower running costs compared to electric alternatives. We install all major brands including Bosch, Westinghouse, Fisher & Paykel, and Smeg. If your kitchen does not have an existing gas point, we can extend your gas line and install a new connection.

Gas Heaters

Rockingham’s mild winters still bring cool evenings where a gas heater makes all the difference. We install flued and unflued gas heaters, gas log fires, and gas ducted heating systems. Each installation includes proper ventilation assessment, flue installation where required, and a bayonet point connection.

Gas Hot Water Systems

Gas hot water systems—both storage and continuous flow—require professional gas fitting for the supply line, flue, and appliance connections. We work closely with all major hot water brands and ensure every gas connection is tested, safe, and compliant. For more information, see our hot water systems page.

Outdoor Gas Appliances

Alfresco living is a way of life in Rockingham, and gas connections make outdoor entertaining effortless. We install gas bayonet points for built-in barbecues, outdoor kitchens, patio heaters, fire pits, and pizza ovens. All outdoor gas work includes weather-resistant fittings and is tested to the same rigorous standards as indoor installations.

Gas Line Extensions and Modifications

If you are renovating, building an addition, or simply adding a new gas appliance, you may need your gas supply line extended or modified. This is a common requirement in older Rockingham homes where gas infrastructure was originally sized for fewer appliances. We assess your current gas supply capacity, calculate the load requirements for new appliances, and design a gas line extension that meets all regulatory requirements.

Common gas line work includes running new copper or polyethylene gas pipes, installing isolation valves at each appliance, adding test points, and ensuring adequate gas pressure is maintained throughout the system.

Gas Leak Detection and Repair

A gas leak is a serious safety issue that requires immediate professional attention. Signs of a gas leak include the smell of rotten eggs (the odorant added to natural gas), a hissing sound near gas pipes or appliances, dead vegetation near a gas line, or higher-than-expected gas bills.

Our gas leak detection process involves systematic pressure testing of your gas supply system using calibrated manometers. We isolate sections of the gas line to pinpoint the exact location of the leak, then repair or replace the faulty fitting, joint, or pipe section. After repair, the entire system is retested to confirm it holds pressure and is completely leak-free.

If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the gas supply at the meter, ventilate the area, avoid using electrical switches or open flames, and call us immediately. For a full list of warning signs, read our guide on 6 signs of a gas leak and what to do.

Gas Compliance Certificates

A gas compliance certificate is an official document that verifies your gas installation meets Australian Standards and Western Australian regulatory requirements. You may need a compliance certificate in the following situations:

• Selling your property: Many conveyancers and buyers request gas compliance certificates as part of the property settlement process.
• After renovations: Any alteration or addition to your gas system requires compliance testing and certification.
• Insurance requirements: Some insurers require proof that gas installations are compliant and safe.
• Periodic safety inspections: It is good practice to have your gas system professionally inspected every few years, particularly in older homes.

We provide gas compliance certificates on the same day as the inspection, giving you documented proof that your gas system is safe and meets all current regulations.

Natural Gas vs LPG

Rockingham properties are connected to one of two gas types. Most homes in established suburbs are connected to the ATCO natural gas network, which supplies gas through underground mains. Properties in newer estates or semi-rural areas may use LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) supplied via bottles or a bulk tank.

While the basic principles of gas fitting are similar, natural gas and LPG operate at different pressures and require different regulators, fittings, and appliance settings. Our licensed gas fitter is experienced with both gas types and ensures every installation is configured correctly for your specific gas supply.

Why Licensed Gas Fitting Is Non-Negotiable

In Western Australia, all gas fitting work must be carried out by a person holding a current gas fitting permit issued under the Gas Standards Act. This is not just a legal requirement—it is a critical safety measure. Improperly installed gas fittings can lead to gas leaks, carbon monoxide poisoning, fires, and explosions.

Licensed gas fitters have completed rigorous training and assessment, carry appropriate insurance, and are accountable for the safety and compliance of their work. When you engage our services, you can be confident that every gas connection, pipe run, and appliance installation is completed to the highest safety standards.
