We work same-day where we can, and we start with the strongest question first: who is legally allowed near your gas pipes.
What Gas Fitting Work Covers
Gas work means installing or removing a gas system, altering, repairing or servicing one, and testing or certifying it, including all pipework and connections. Only a licensed gasfitter carries that work out in Queensland.
Queensland homes use two fuel gases. Natural gas arrives by pipe; LPG is bottled or held in a bulk tank on the property. The rules treat both the same way.
The work does not stop at installs. Cookers, barbecues and hot water systems need a licensed gasfitter to check and service them periodically, and each appliance gets installed and used to the manufacturer's instructions. Heaters have quirks of their own, and our hot water page covers those.
Proof That a Gas Installation Is Compliant
The gas system's compliance certificate is the paperwork that confirms finished gas installation work or an alteration complies with the rules. The gasfitter who did the job gives the owner the original straight after completion, not weeks later.
Fuel gas off a distribution network adds one extra step: the network's operator gets sent a duplicate inside five days.
The certificate attaches to installs and alterations, not to every job. A repair or a service does not generate one, which is why it pays to know which category your job falls into before you book.
Who May Do Gas Work in Queensland
Queensland reserves gas work for licensed gasfitters alone; nobody else may carry it out. Ask any tradesperson to show you their gas work licence before the first tool comes out.
Plumbing runs on two licences of its own. An occupational licence lets a tradesperson do plumbing and drainage work, a contractor licence lets them take those jobs on as a business, and the QBCC issues both.
Checking is free and public. The QBCC's online registers confirm a plumber's licensing status and any Form 4 lodged for an address, so a two-minute search tells you who you are dealing with.
What Decides the Price of Gas Work
Four things drive a gas quote: the job itself, access to the pipework, how many gas points the work involves, and whether the supply needs a check first. A fixed quote settles the figure before any work starts, with flat-rate pricing and no hidden fees.
The type of job
A repair, a service and a brand-new connection sit at different ends of the price range.
Access
Pre-1940 Queenslanders here carry layers of renovation, and reaching pipe behind a century of walls and joinery takes longer than the same job in a newer build.
Gas points
Every extra point means another run of pipe, another set of joints and another pressure test.
The supply check
Before a new system or an extra appliance, the gasfitter confirms the supply can meet the extra demand: LPG cylinder storage and vaporisation rates, the gas meter's capacity, and the pipe sizing.
Gas Jobs With Their Own Pages
Three jobs come up so often on the peninsula that they get a page each. Start with the one that matches what you are seeing.
Gas leaks
if you can smell gas, that page steps through what to shut down first, and we treat it as today's work. Gas leak repairs
Cooktops and new appliances
connection, clearances and the paperwork for a new installation. Gas cooktop installation
The certificate itself
what gets issued, who signs it and who receives a copy, on the gas compliance page.
From flats around Merthyr Village to renovated houses on the ridge streets, the jobs change but the process below does not.

Questions New Farm Locals Ask About Gas Work
Call (07) 3524 7163Are plumbers and gas fitters the same thing?
No, they are licensed separately. Gas work belongs to a licensed gasfitter, so ask which licence your tradesperson holds before booking. For plumbing and drainage, an occupational licence covers the work itself, and a contractor licence covers taking jobs on as a business.
Can a plumber legally fit gas appliances in Queensland?
Yes, provided the plumber also holds a gas work licence. Queensland puts gas work in the hands of licensed gasfitters alone, so a plumbing licence by itself is not enough for connecting a cooker or any other gas appliance.
How do I check a gas fitter's licence in New Farm?
Ask to see the gas work licence before anyone starts, and for plumbing work use the QBCC's online registers. The registers confirm licensing status and any Form 4 registered for the property.
Who gets the gas compliance certificate after the job?
You do, as the owner. The original goes to you straight after a finished gas installation or alteration. Where a network supplies the gas, its operator also receives a duplicate within five days.
Are your gasfitters licensed for gas work in New Farm?
Yes, and we show the gas work licence on arrival. Gas jobs go to licensed gasfitters, every job is done by a licensed plumber, and we are QBCC licensed and insured.
Do the gas rules cover both natural gas and LPG?
Yes, they cover both. Queensland's gas safety guidance treats piped natural gas and LPG held in cylinders or a tank alike, so the same licence and certificate rules apply to either fuel.
