Gasfitting Services in Botany

Botany is a mix of newer builds around Ormiston and Flat Bush (2000s onwards) and established 1980s-90s homes through Botany Downs. Many of the newer homes have gas connections for continuous flow hot water and cooking, while older properties may need gas line extensions to add new appliances.

Whether you're near Botany Town Centre, along Ti Rakau Drive, off Chapel Road, or around Ormiston Town Centre — if it involves gas, we handle it.

By law, only a certified gas fitter can work on gas. Don't risk it with someone who isn't qualified. We're both a registered plumber AND certified gas fitter — so we handle the water and the gas in one visit. No need to book two tradesmen.

Every gas job we do comes with the correct gas safety certificate — either a GSC (Gas Safety Certificate) or COC (Certificate of Compliance). That's not optional, it's the law, and we don't cut corners.

When You Need a Gas Fitter

Smell of gas — that rotten egg smell means a gas leak. Get outside and call immediately.

Yellow or orange flame — gas burners should burn blue. Yellow means incomplete combustion.

Hissing near gas pipes — could be a leak at a joint or connection. Don't ignore it.

Gas hot water not working — pilot light out, ignition failure, or gas supply issue.

Black soot on appliances — sign of poor combustion, needs servicing urgently.

No gas safety cert — if your gas appliance was installed without certification, it needs inspecting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I install a gas appliance myself?

No. It's illegal in New Zealand to do your own gas work. Only a certified gas fitter can install, repair, or disconnect gas appliances. Fines apply and your insurance won't cover damage from uncertified work.

Do I get a gas certificate?

Yes, always. Every gas installation or repair gets the proper gas safety certificate (GSC) or certificate of compliance (COC). It's the law and we don't cut corners.

Can you install a gas bayonet for a heater or BBQ?

Yes. We install gas bayonet points for portable gas heaters, BBQs, and gas fires. New gas line run from the meter with certification.

How much does a gas fitter cost in Botany?

Our rate is $155 plus GST for the first hour, then $100 plus GST per hour after that. After-hours is $295 plus GST for the first hour, then $100 plus GST per hour after that. We can quote before starting so you know the cost upfront.

My Botany home doesn't have gas — can you connect it?

If your street has a gas main, we can run a new gas line from the meter to your appliances. Many newer homes in Ormiston and Flat Bush already have gas connections — older Botany Downs homes may need a line extension.
