Gas Leaks
A gas smell is urgent at any hour, whether it comes from a kitchen off Samford Road or a heater in a unit near Willcocks Street. The gas leak repairs page explains how a leak gets found, tested and made safe.

The suburb grew between Kedron Brook and the Enoggera military land, and its housing runs from raised pre-war homes along Glen Retreat Road to postwar cottages and newer units. Gas lines thread through all of them, so the Mitchelton home page gathers the full range of our plumbing work in one place.
From the Meter or Cylinder to the Appliance
Gas work, as Queensland's gas safety rules define it, covers putting in, taking out, altering, mending, servicing, testing or signing off a gas system, along with the pipework and connections that serve it. Queensland homes run on two fuel gases, and both fall inside that definition: natural gas drawn from a pipe network, and LPG stored in bottles or tanks.
The work runs from the supply point to whatever burns the gas:
- the pipework between the meter or bottles and the appliance
- the connections at each end of that pipework
- the appliances themselves, fitted and run the way the manufacturer specifies
- the testing and sign-off that closes the job out
Servicing counts as gas work too. Cooktops, outdoor grills and the like need a licensed gasfitter's eye at regular intervals, not just when something fails. If you can smell gas at any point, that is a different job entirely, and our gas leak repairs page covers what to do first.
Proof That a Gas Installation Is Compliant
The certificate that proves a finished gas job meets the rules is the gas system compliance certificate. The licence holder hands the owner the original the moment the work is done, not weeks later.
Two details about the certificate are worth knowing:
Who gets it
the owner of the property receives the original straight after completion.
The network copy
a gas network operator is also sent a duplicate within five days where a network supplies the property.
The certificate attaches to installs and alterations, which is the wording the rules use. A repair or a service call does not automatically end with one, so do not expect paperwork after every visit. Our page on gas compliance certificates explains what the document covers and when to expect it.
Who May Do Gas Work in Queensland
Queensland law allows only a licensed gasfitter to do gas work, whether the job is a full installation or a five-minute adjustment. Before the job begins, the Queensland Government's advice is to check the person's gas work licence, and a tradesperson who does gas work for a living will have it ready.
Plumbing and drainage work sits on a separate set of licences from the QBCC:
- an occupational licence for the person on the tools
- a contractor licence for anyone running the jobs as a business
A tradesperson can hold both plumbing licences and a gas work licence, and many do. The licence you sight should match the job in front of you, so a gasfitter for gas and a plumber for the water side. You can verify a licence online through the QBCC's registers before you book anyone.
Gas Work Costs for Pipework and Appliances
Four things drive a gasfitting bill: what the job involves, how open the pipe runs are, how many outlets the place needs, and any supply checks that apply. The fixed quote sets the price before tools come out, and nothing on the invoice should surprise you.
What moves the number:
The job itself
a new appliance connection costs a different amount from extending pipework to another room.
Access
pipe runs under a raised Queenslander or inside a wall take longer to reach than an open run along a laundry wall.
Gas points
every added outlet means extra pipe, extra joints and another pressure test.
The supply check
before hooking up extra appliances or a whole new system, the gasfitter runs through a short list. Bottle storage and how fast the LPG can turn to gas, how much the meter can deliver, and the pipe sizing all get checked against the added load.
The quote lists the work, the parts and the labour, so you can compare two quotes line by line.

Gas Cooktops and Appliances
New cooktop, oven or heater connections, including the clearances and connections each appliance needs, live on the gas cooktop installation page.
Compliance Certificates
Selling, renting or renovating often raises certificate questions. The gas compliance certificates page covers the paperwork side of gas work.
One passing note: gas water heaters in the postwar cottage belt tend to sit in side-wall cupboards and under floors, and that work has a page of its own under hot water plumbing.

Gas Fitting Questions From Mitchelton
Call (07) 3523 6484Is a gas fitter the same as a plumber?
No, they are different licences. A plumber holds licences for plumbing and drainage work, while gas work sits with a licensed gasfitter. Plenty of tradespeople hold both, so ask which licence the person carries before they start.
Can a plumber legally install gas appliances in Queensland?
Yes, provided that plumber also holds a gas work licence. Queensland law allows only a licensed gasfitter to do gas work, so the licence matters more than the trade title.
What paperwork follows a new gas installation?
A compliance certificate for the gas system. You get the original as soon as a system has been installed or altered, confirming the job meets the rules.
Who receives the gas compliance certificate?
The owner receives the original straight after completion. If the gas comes from a distribution network, its operator is sent a copy within five days. Our certificates page has the rest.
Does a new gas appliance in Mitchelton need a supply check first?
Yes, before anything is connected. The gasfitter checks bottle storage and how fast the LPG can turn to gas, how much the meter can deliver, and the pipe sizing, so the supply handles the added load.
Are your gas fitters licensed for gas work in Mitchelton?
Yes, every job is done by a licensed plumber, our gasfitters are licensed for gas work, and we are licensed and insured.
