What Should You Do First?
A gas smell indoors means leave, not wait. Before you ring us:
- Close the valve at the gas meter if that is safe to do
- Keep hands off light switches, power points and anything that could spark
- Let fresh air through as you head for the door
- Get everyone out, then ring from the footpath
If the smell is strong or the meter is out of reach, ring the gas network's emergency line first. When they have made the supply safe, we trace the escape and repair it.
How We Find the Leak
You can smell gas and still have no idea where it's getting out, so we work in order rather than guessing.
- 1
Isolate the house
The meter valve is closed and your pipework is separated from the supply before any testing starts.
- 2
Pinpoint the escape
A gas detector and leak-detection fluid show whether the fault sits at an appliance connection, a joint behind a wall or a run under the floor.
- 3
Repair it properly
The failed fitting or pipe section gets replaced with new material, and anything non-compliant we come across is brought up to standard while we're there.
- 4
Test and certify
The repaired line is pressure-tested and certified, so you know the fix holds before the supply is reopened.
What Drives the Price?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

A leak repair is priced on how hard the fault is to reach. The drivers:
- The fault's position A connection at the stove is quick to reach; a joint under the floor or inside a wall takes longer.
- How much pipe needs replacing One fitting is a small job; a corroded run needs a new section.
- Access Chasing pipe through brick or under low crawl spaces costs more time than an exposed run.
- What testing finds If the line fails in more than one place, each fault needs its own repair.
Older fittings are the usual culprit. Warners Bay grew mostly through the 1960s to 1980s, and plenty of its brick-veneer kitchens still hold the gas fittings for the cooktop and water heater from those decades. Seals dry out and threaded joints loosen as they age.
Renovations bring them to light. Pulling out an old kitchen or laundry is often the first time in years anyone sees those lines, which is the point to test them before new appliances go on.
When we're not the right call. A leak in the street main or before the meter is the gas distributor's to repair, and anything electrical near an appliance needs a licensed electrician.

Gas Leak Questions
Should I stay inside until the gas fitter arrives?
No. If gas is smelling indoors, get everyone out and wait on the street or at a neighbour's place. Stay off the property until the escape has been found and repaired.
Do older Warners Bay homes have more gas leak trouble?
Often, yes. Many 1960s to 1980s brick-veneer houses here still carry the gas pipework they were built with, and tired joints and seals on those lines are where escapes usually start.
Is a faint gas smell worth a call?
Yes. Treat any gas smell as urgent, even a faint one that comes and goes. Close the meter valve if it is safe to do so, keep clear of switches, and ring us from outside.
How does quoting work for a gas leak repair?
Ring (02) 4093 0558 or send the form with what you've noticed. A gas fitter traces the fault, then prices the repair so you can approve it first.
New lines sit with the gas fitting hub, and cooktop or heater fitting with gas appliance installation. If the trouble is water rather than fuel, see water leak detection instead, or the emergency plumber when a fault can't wait.
