Gas Fitter Wellington Point
Wellington Point is our own suburb. This is where Dave lives, where the van is parked overnight, and where a call-out is never a long drive across the Redlands, it is a job down the road. From the older homes near the Point and King Island walk to the newer estates further back from the water, we have connected cooktops, serviced gas hot water systems and run new gas lines in more Wellington Point kitchens than we could count.
Being local means something practical here, not just a nice line in an ad. If you smell gas or a heater stops working on a cold night, we are usually the shortest response of anywhere we cover. Every job is quoted upfront, and every completed job comes with the compliance certificate the law requires.

Smell gas in Wellington Point? What to do right now
If you pick up a gas smell anywhere on the property, do not wait to see if it clears on its own. Shut the gas off at the meter if you can reach it safely. Skip the light switches and do not use your phone inside the house, and never bring a flame near the area to try to locate the leak yourself. Open up doors and windows, and move everyone, including any pets, well clear of the house.
Once you and your family are safe, ring us on 0409 364 858. Because we are based right here in Wellington Point, we can usually be on site faster than almost anywhere else on our patch. We treat every reported gas smell as urgent, whether it is a waterfront home near the Point or an older place a few streets back.
Why licensed matters
Under Queensland law, gas work has to be carried out by a licensed gas fitter, full stop. It is not a job for a keen DIYer with a spanner and a Saturday afternoon free. Dave holds Gas Licence L91032, on top of QBCC licence 53736 and Plumbing and Drainage Licence 15010990, and every gas job in Wellington Point is completed to Australian Standards.
You are handed a gas compliance certificate as soon as the job is finished. For a suburb where houses near the water change hands regularly, that paperwork is worth keeping on file, whether you are refinancing, insuring the place or getting ready to sell.
Gas jobs common in Wellington Point homes
The older homes from the 1960s through to the 1980s near the water are where we do most of our gas hot water servicing and heater work in this suburb, particularly where the original system has never been touched. Salt air off the bay ages external fittings faster than homeowners expect, and it is common to find corrosion on a gas line or connector that looks fine at first glance but needs attention before it fails.
Further back from the water, the newer estates bring a different kind of job, mostly first-fix cooktop connections and gas line runs for kitchen extensions. Canal-style and waterfront properties add their own wrinkle too, with outdoor kitchens and alfresco gas points becoming more popular as people make the most of the bayside lifestyle. Established trees around the older streets can also shift underground gas runs over time, so a heater or cooktop that has started playing up is worth a proper look rather than a guess.
What gas fitting in Wellington Point costs
We do not run a flat price list for gas work, because a cooktop swap and a full gas line extension are simply not the same job. What stays constant is the upfront pricing: we look at what needs doing, tell you the price before we touch a tool, and that figure does not move once the van is in your driveway. We keep common gas fittings on board, so most jobs are finished in one visit, and we offer a seniors discount on gas fitting, plumbing and drain work, which matters in a suburb with a good number of long-term retirees.

Common questions
Are you actually based in Wellington Point, or is that just marketing?
We really are local. Dave lives here and the van is parked in the suburb, so a Wellington Point job is rarely more than a few minutes away, which matters when you have a gas smell or a heater that has died overnight.
Can I connect my own gas cooktop if I am handy with tools?
No. Queensland law requires a licensed gas fitter for any connection to the gas supply, no matter how confident you are with a spanner. Getting it wrong risks both your safety and your insurance.
Do you service older gas hot water units near the Point?
Yes, and it is some of the most common work we do in this suburb. If your unit can still be repaired rather than replaced, we tell you that plainly instead of pushing a new one.
We are planning an outdoor kitchen near the water. When should we bring in a gas fitter?
Early, before paving or benchtops go in. Running and pressure testing the gas line first saves you from ripping anything up later.
Do you provide compliance certificates for Wellington Point property sales?
Yes. Every gas job we finish comes with a compliance certificate, useful documentation if you are selling, refinancing or updating insurance on a Wellington Point home.
