The Nudgee home page lists every service we run. Read on here for what gas work covers and how the rules treat it.
A gas smell right now is an emergency. Ring (07) 3523 7172 before anything else.
What Gas Fitting Work Covers
Under the Queensland Government's definition, gas work means installing, removing, altering, repairing, servicing, testing or certifying any gas system, and all the pipework and connections in it. That definition pulls in more jobs than most people expect.
The two fuel gases in Queensland homes are natural gas and LPG, and the same rules apply to both. Cookers and barbecues need periodic servicing from a licensed gasfitter, and should be installed and used to the manufacturer's instructions.
Common gas jobs on our Nudgee run include:
- New cooktops and ovens, swapped in and certified
- Bayonet outlets for outdoor heaters and barbecues
- Repairs to gas lines and their fittings
- Periodic servicing of existing appliances
Housing age shapes the gas work we find here. The old weatherboards near the Nudgee Cemetery and crematorium end of St Vincents Road often carry decades-old services behind original linings. The townhouse blocks around Queens Road were fitted out in single stages.
Plumbers, Gas Fitters and Their Licences
Gas work belongs to licensed gasfitters alone in Queensland. That is the whole of the rule, and it leaves no room for handymen or DIY.
Before any gas work starts, ask the tradesperson to show you the gas work licence. Someone who hesitates at that request has told you something useful.
Plumbing and drainage work runs on a different set of licences:
- An occupational licence lets a tradesperson do the work
- A contractor licence is needed as well to run the jobs as a business
- The QBCC issues the two licences
Many plumbers hold a gas work licence alongside their plumbing licence, which is how one visit can cover both sides of a job. Hiring a gas fitter in Nudgee who holds both saves a second booking. If a leak is the worry, see gas leak repairs.
Who Receives the Gas Certificate
Gas systems get certified with a compliance certificate once an installation or alteration is finished. The licence holder hands the owner the original the moment the job wraps up, confirming the work complies.
Two details about the certificate are worth knowing:
- The certificate attaches to installs and alterations, not to every gas job
- Where fuel gas comes from a distribution network, the operator of that network also gets a copy within 5 days
Keep your copy with the house paperwork. It forms part of the record a buyer or inspector may want to see later.
What Decides the Price of Gas Work
The price of gas work comes down to the type of job, how easily we reach the pipework, how many gas points it serves, and whether the supply needs a check. You see a fixed quote before any work starts, so the figure is settled before a tool comes out.
Each driver works differently:
Type of job
a straightforward swap costs less than running a new line
Access
pipe buried behind tiles is slower to reach than pipe under a stump-footed house
Gas points
every extra outlet calls for more pipe and joints, plus extra testing
Supply check
when an extra appliance or a whole new system goes in, the gasfitter confirms the supply can handle the added load
That check covers how much LPG the cylinders store and vaporise, the meter's capacity, and whether the pipes are sized for the extra draw. Our cooktop installation page walks through a cooktop swap.
The Gas Jobs We Handle in Nudgee
The details differ more than the gas does, so each gas job gets its own page. Our gas bayonet installation page covers outdoor connection points for the barbecue and patio heater.
Gas leak repairs
suspected leaks, testing and repairs, done by licensed gasfitters
Gas cooktop installation
new cooktops and ovens, connected and certified
Gas bayonet installation
outdoor points for heaters and barbecues
Gas units that heat water sit with hot water plumbing, and a gas fault that cannot wait belongs with the emergency plumber.

Questions About Gas Fitting
Call (07) 3523 7172Can a plumber legally fit gas appliances in Queensland?
Yes, if that plumber also holds a gas work licence. Gas work is reserved for licensed gasfitters, so a plumber without that licence cannot legally touch a gas system.
How do I check a gas fitter's licence in Nudgee?
Ask to see it before any gas work begins. For plumbing, the QBCC website lets you confirm a plumbing licence and check for a Form 4 on your address.
What certificate follows a new gas installation?
You get a compliance certificate for the gas system. The licence holder gives it to you as soon as an installation or alteration is finished, confirming the work complies.
Does a new gas appliance need a supply check first?
Yes, the supply gets checked before any new appliance or system is added. The gasfitter looks at cylinder storage, vaporisation rate, the meter's capacity and the pipe sizing.
Are your gas fitters licensed for gas work in Nudgee?
Yes, we're licensed and insured, and every job is done by a licensed plumber. Gas work on those jobs goes to licensed gasfitters.
Do the gas work rules cover both natural gas and LPG?
Yes, the rules treat piped natural gas and LPG alike, whether the gas arrives by pipe or from cylinders or a tank on site.
