Can any plumber do gas work?

No. Gas fitting requires a specific licence class. Ask the plumber who contacts you to confirm their gas fitting licence before work starts.

Do I get paperwork for gas work?

Licensed gas work in Victoria comes with a compliance certificate. Keep it — you will need it when selling or leasing.

Can I install my own gas cooktop?

No. Connecting a gas appliance is licensed work, and doing it yourself creates a serious safety and insurance risk.

Is a gas smell an emergency?

Yes. Contact the gas distributor's emergency number immediately. This site is not an emergency service.

Describe the problem

I understand my details will be passed to a local plumbing provider who will contact me directly.

Free, no obligation. Your details go to one local plumbing provider — never a panel of contractors, never resold to marketers.

Length and route of any new gas line
Appliance type and whether conversion is required
Access under the floor or through walls
Testing and certification requirements

We do not publish prices or estimates. We are not the plumber and any figure we invented would be misleading. The attending plumber gives you the actual quote.

If you smell gas, do not switch anything electrical on or off
Open doors and windows and leave the building
Turn the gas off at the meter if you can reach it safely
Call your gas distributor's emergency line before arranging a quote
