Cherrybrook
There is no "close enough" in gas. Every job we do in Cherrybrook, a leak chased down, a cooktop connected, a new line run to an outdoor kitchen: finishes the same way: holding pressure on a gauge, certified, documented. That is the whole standard, and it is not negotiable.

- Manometer-tested to AS/NZS 5601, every job

What "Licensed" Buys You On Gas Jobs In Cherrybrook
NSW law reserves every millimetre of gas work for licensed gasfitters, connecting an oven included, because gas fails differently to water. A water mistake stains a ceiling; a gas mistake is a leak you breathe, a fire you host, or carbon monoxide you never smell. It is no coincidence that the leaks we chase most often trace back to a confident handyman and a roll of thread tape.
The licence is not the paperwork, it is the finish line it enforces: the whole installation held against a manometer until the needle stays put, appliances burning correctly with the ventilation they need, work done to AS/NZS 5601, the standard your insurer will ask about if it ever matters. Across Cherrybrook and the Hills District, that gauge test is how every one of our gas jobs ends.
A failed appliance is a closed kitchen
For a food business, gas is production. A cooktop out of service is not an inconvenience to schedule around, it is a menu that cannot be served.
Not every street is on reticulated gas. Jemena is the largest gas distributor in NSW, supplying over 1.5 million homes and businesses, but where the main does not reach, LPG changes both the appliance and the pipe sizing.
So we carry the common commercial failure parts and we work to your service times rather than ours. Where a part genuinely has to be ordered, you will hear that immediately along with what can be kept running in the meantime.
Certificates, compliance and the folder you need
Commercial premises get inspected, insured and sold, and all three ask for the same thing: documentation that the gas installation is compliant and who certified it.
Every job we do finishes with a compliance certificate, and for commercial clients we keep the history so the paperwork exists when a landlord, insurer or inspector asks for it rather than being reconstructed under pressure.
Commercial kitchens: different rules entirely
Gas in a commercial kitchen is a different regime from a domestic one, interlocked ventilation, larger loads, appliance isolation requirements, and inspection obligations that fall on the operator rather than the plumber.
The practical consequence is that a commercial installation cannot be extended casually. Adding a wok burner changes the load, the ventilation calculation and the certification, and all three have to move together.
Renting, and gas
A gas leak is an urgent repair under NSW residential tenancy law, and landlords are obliged to arrange it promptly. If you smell gas, ring 131 909 first and the agent second, the network operator does not wait for anyone's authorisation.
Landlords are also responsible for ensuring appliances are safe. If a heater in a rental has never been serviced and burns yellow, that is a request worth putting in writing rather than living with.
Carbon monoxide: the risk with no smell
Gas that burns incorrectly produces carbon monoxide, which has no odour and no colour. It is the reason a badly serviced heater is more dangerous than a leaking pipe, the leak announces itself and this does not.
The visible warning is flame colour. A gas flame should burn blue. Yellow or orange flames, soot around an appliance, or condensation on windows when a heater runs all mean stop using it and book a service.
What it costs in Cherrybrook
Joints & fittings, $200–$600
Leaking threads and valves sealed properly and proven again under pressure.
Pipe runs, $400–$1,500
Corroded or damaged sections replaced; concealed lines needing access run $800–$2,500.
Appliance connections, from ~$200
Connected, tested, certified. Extending a line or adding a bayonet to reach it is quoted on top, fixed, first.
The going rates, $120–$220/hr
Sydney's 2026 licensed-gasfitter range, call-outs typically $80–$150. The certificate at the end costs nothing extra, it is the job.
No gas job of ours ends without holding pressure on a gauge, that is the receipt that matters. Figures here are indicative of the 2026 Sydney market rather than a quote from us, you get your own number as a fixed price before any work starts.
A Gas Job, Properly Ordered
Step 01
Step 01
Isolate Before Anything
Suspected leaks start with the supply off at the meter and air moving through the space. Diagnosis begins only after the installation stops feeding the problem.
Step 02
Let The Gauge Accuse
A manometer says whether the system is losing gas; detection fluid and instruments then walk the installation to the guilty joint, fitting or run.
Step 03
Replace, Never Bodge
The failed component comes out and compliant material goes in, to AS/NZS 5601, whether that is one connector or metres of rerun line.
Step 04
Prove, Relight, Certify
The full installation holds on the gauge or we are not done. Appliances relit, flames checked blue, ventilation confirmed, compliance documented.
That Cooktop Won’t Connect Itself
Nor should it, legally. One visit: connected, tested, certified, warranty intact. The proper way is also the cheap way, counted honestly.
Leave the building and take everyone with you. No light switches, no appliances, no phone calls made inside: a switch operating is an ignition source. From outside, ring 131 909, the gas network's emergency line, staffed around the clock. They attend and make the supply safe at no cost to you.
Blue and steady. Yellow, lazy or lifting flames mean the air-to-gas ratio is wrong, a blocked jet, a starved supply, insufficient ventilation, or an appliance set up for the wrong gas type. It is the one diagnostic anyone can do without equipment, and it is worth a look at every appliance once a year.
Indicatively: a pressure test and leak location $220-$450; a new bayonet or appliance point $350-$800 depending on the run; an appliance service $180-$320; a cooktop changeover $250-$500 where the point already exists. Market figures for 2026, not a quote, and every job includes the compliance certificate rather than adding it.
That is production, not maintenance, and we treat it that way. We carry the common commercial failure parts and work to your service times. Where a part genuinely has to be ordered you will hear that immediately, along with what can be kept running in the meantime.
Compliance certificates, and the history of who certified what. Premises get inspected, insured and sold, and all three ask for the same thing. We keep the record for commercial clients so the paperwork exists when a landlord, insurer or inspector asks rather than being reconstructed under pressure.
Substantially. Interlocked ventilation, larger loads, appliance isolation requirements and inspection obligations that fall on the operator. The practical consequence is that a commercial installation cannot be extended casually, adding a wok burner changes the load, the ventilation calculation and the certification together.
