What Gas Fitting Work Covers
Gas work covers putting in, altering, repairing or servicing a gas system, testing it, and certifying it as compliant, together with every pipe and connection the system owns. That definition comes from the Queensland Government, and it applies to both fuel gases households use: natural gas delivered by pipe, and liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG, stored in cylinders or a bulk tank.
In practice, that definition takes in the whole gas side of a property:
New installs
cooktops, heaters and outdoor bayonets, run from the meter or the cylinders through to the appliance.
Repairs and servicing
cookers, barbecues and similar appliances need periodic checks and servicing by a licensed gasfitter, used and installed to the manufacturer's instructions.
Hot water
one passing mention only, because our hot water plumbing page carries that depth.
North Lakes Plumbing Service takes the lot on, from a single appliance service to a full new gas run. Servicing counts as gas work the same as an install does, which surprises plenty of owners who thought a yearly barbecue check was optional.
Why Gas Quotes Differ From Job to Job
Four factors drive a gas quote: the type of job, how easily the pipework can be reached, how many gas points are involved, and whether the supply needs checking. Whatever the combination, you get a fixed quote before any work starts, so the price holds no surprises.
Each factor moves the quote in its own way:
The job itself
a like-for-like appliance swap prices differently from running a new gas line out to a patio.
Access
pipe clipped under a floor is quick to reach; pipe inside a wall cavity or under a deck off Diamond Jubilee Way adds labour to the day.
Gas points
each extra point means more pipe, more joints and more testing before anything gets certified.
The supply check
before an extra appliance goes on, the gasfitter confirms the cylinders and vaporisation rate for bottled gas, the meter and its capacity, and the pipe sizing can handle the added load.
The supply check matters most when a second or third appliance joins an existing run. A system sized for one cooktop may not carry a heater as well, and finding that out on paper first saves a second visit and a redo at the appliance.
Who May Do Gas Work in Queensland
Queensland reserves gas work for one licence: a licensed gasfitter, and no one else may legally carry it out. Before any work starts, you are entitled to ask for sight of that gas work licence, and a legitimate tradesperson will show it without fuss.
Plumbing and drainage licences run on a separate track through the QBCC. The regulator issues an occupational licence for the tradesperson doing the work, plus a contractor licence before anyone can run that trade commercially. A person can hold both plumbing and gas credentials, but neither one covers the other.
A licence check costs you nothing and works the same whether the job is a unit kitchen near the North Lakes Health Precinct or a house on the suburb's outer streets. Two minutes of asking protects you from unlicensed gas work and the defects that follow it.
Who Receives the Gas Certificate
A gas compliance certificate is the paperwork that says a completed installation or alteration on a gas system meets the rules. The licence holder gives the owner that certificate immediately on completion of the work, and your copy belongs with the property's records for future sales or inspections.
One further obligation sits behind it. Where the fuel gas arrives through a distribution network, the network operator also gets a copy, within 5 days. Routine servicing or a small repair does not trigger a certificate, so the paperwork belongs to installs and alterations rather than every visit.
Gas Services You Can Book
Our gas work splits into three services, each with its own page:
Cooktop and Appliance Installation
New cooktops and heaters, connected, tested and certified:
- Gas cooktop installation, for new appliances and kitchen changes of scale.

- Gas bayonet installation, for outdoor points that make the entertaining side of the house work.

Common Gas Fitting Questions
Call (07) 3520 4094Are plumbers and gas fitters the same thing?
No, they hold different licences. Gas work belongs to licensed gasfitters alone in Queensland, whatever other trade a person claims. Ask which licence the person at your door holds before you let them near a gas system.
Can a plumber legally fit gas appliances in Queensland?
Yes, if the plumber carries a gas work licence as well as the plumbing one. A plumbing licence alone does not cover gas work. The gas licence is the credential that counts, so ask for it by name.
Does a new gas appliance need a supply check first?
Yes, every new appliance needs one. The gasfitter confirms the supply can carry the extra demand before fitting anything. The check covers cylinder storage and vaporisation rate for bottled gas, the gas meter and its capacity, and whether the pipe sizing suits the added load.
Should I call a gas fitter or the gas supplier for a leak in North Lakes?
Go outside first and phone from out there. The supplier's emergency number is printed on your gas bill, and the supplier handles anything on their side of the meter. Repairs on your side are a licensed gasfitter's job, which our gas leak repairs page steps through.
Are your gas fitters licensed for gas work in North Lakes?
Yes, every gas job goes to a licensed gasfitter, and every job is done by a licensed plumber. You are welcome to ask for sight of a licence before any work begins on the day.
Do the gas work rules cover both natural gas and LPG?
Yes, the same rules govern both fuels. Queensland gas safety guidance covers mains gas and LPG alike, whether the fuel arrives by pipe or sits in cylinders or a tank at the property. Licensing and certification requirements apply to either one.
