Gasfitting Certification
We issue mandatory gasfitting certificates for all gas work — providing verification that the work we have carried out is lawful and compliant with New Zealand regulations.
All records are maintained for seven years as required by law.

No. The minimum charge is the door rate — it covers travel time, vehicle, fuel, admin, and the first hour on site. There is no separate callout fee on top.
Are your prices GST-inclusive?
All advertised rates are excluding GST. GST of 15% is added to the final invoice in line with New Zealand tax law.
How much does a gas certificate cost?
Low Risk / General gas certificates are $55+GST. High Risk certificates are $95+GST. Gas certification is mandatory for gas work in New Zealand under the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Act 2006, and we keep records for the legally required seven years.
