Gas Leak Repair Across the Perth Hills

Licensed gas fitting, servicing and leak repairs, with the paperwork to match

A faint smell near the cooktop. A heater that won't light properly. A bill that's climbed without the usage changing. Any of those is worth having looked at by someone licensed instead of left to see if it settles down.

Andrew holds Gas Licence 13486 and works across both natural gas and bottled LPG, which matters here because a good part of the Hills is on LPG. The fault gets found, repaired, and the compliance paperwork provided where the work requires it.

Watch for These

Signs a Gas Appliance Needs Servicing

01

A smell of gas, even faintly

The additive in gas is there so you notice it. If you can smell it, something may be escaping.

02

A flame that has changed colour

A flame that has gone from blue to yellow or orange can be a sign the appliance isn't burning properly and should be checked.

03

Sooty marks around an appliance

Black staining on or above a heater or cooktop can point to incomplete combustion.

04

Gas usage that's climbed for no reason

Same habits, same appliances, bigger bill. That can be an early sign of a small leak.

Appliance Hard to Light?

Common on older heaters and cooktops, and often a servicing job instead of a replacement.

What Andrew Does

Leak detection and repair on gas lines and fittings, servicing and repairs on gas appliances, safety checks on existing installations, and repairs to gas supply lines for both natural gas and LPG. Where the work is notifiable, the compliance paperwork comes with it as standard.

A gas heater that’s been sitting idle since September is worth a service before it gets fired up in a closed-up room in June. Gas heater servicing tends to pick up heading into winter, once heaters that have sat unused for months get switched back on.

What Perth Hills Customers Say

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on LPG as well as natural gas?

Both. A good part of the Hills isn’t connected to mains gas, so bottled LPG comes up constantly, and the two aren’t interchangeable when it comes to appliances, pressures and fittings. What’s connected at your place gets checked before quoting, because it can vary block by block rather than suburb by suburb.

Do I get compliance paperwork after gas work?

Yes, wherever the job requires it. Gas fitting in WA is licensed work, and notifiable work comes with compliance paperwork as standard, so it isn’t something you have to chase afterwards. It’s handed over when the job is finished, so it’s on file if you ever need it for a sale, an insurance question or your own peace of mind.

How do you find a gas leak?

Andrew pressure-tests the installation to confirm there’s a loss, then isolates sections to narrow down where it’s coming from, so the repair is done on the fault itself and not the first suspect fitting. Once it’s repaired he re-tests before signing the job off.

Do you do gas safety inspections?

Yes. They’re worth doing on an older installation or before settlement on a property you’re buying. The check covers the installation and the appliances on it, and you get a plain answer on what’s fine, what needs attention now and what to keep an eye on. The one thing Andrew doesn’t work on is second-hand appliances.

Do you come out after hours for a gas leak?

No, bookings run Monday to Friday. If you can smell gas, turn it off at the meter if it’s safe to do so, don’t touch any switches or anything that could spark, and get everyone outside into fresh air. Call your gas retailer’s emergency line, and if anyone’s in immediate danger, call 000 first. Once it’s safe, ring Andrew on 0402 780 719 and he’ll find and fix the fault.

Should my gas heater be serviced every year?

No, every 3 to 5 years is closer to the mark, depending on water quality, rather than annually. Heaters that have sat idle over summer are worth a check before the first cold snap rather than waiting for a fault to show up.

Local Perth Hills Gas Servicing

Gas Work Across the Perth Hills

A good part of the Hills isn't on mains gas, so bottled LPG is the reality for a lot of properties, and it changes what a leak repair or an appliance install involves. Whether you're on mains or bottles can vary block by block, so what's connected gets confirmed before quoting. On older installations the meter and the runs behind an appliance often predate the appliance itself, which is worth checking before anything new goes on the end of them.
