GAS INSTALLATIONS
BANTRY BAY
We’re here to help
Bantry Bay’s apartment blocks are stacked up the slope between Sea Point and Clifton, most of them with sea views that come at a premium — which also means gas installation work here has to be done with real care for finish, noise and access.
OUR SERVICES
Gas Installations
We install any type of gas appliance, from stoves and hobs to fireplaces and geysers, and cover all types of installations.
After a new installation, maintenance or repair, we will issue a compliance certificate in accordance with SANS 10087-1:2013.
We conduct inspections on all installations and repairs, covering components such as regulators and isolation and safety shut-off valves.
We can supply and install any size gas cylinder cage to your existing installation to meet all SANS requirements.
We offer maintenance to existing gas installations, ensuring that piping and fittings are always in the best condition.
Using state-of-the-art sniffer devices, we can detect the smallest of leaks on your gas installation, putting your mind at ease.
Gas Installation Services in Bantry Bay
Cylinder cages need to sit neatly on a balcony or service area without spoiling the view a resident is paying for, and pipework often has to run through finished walls rather than an open roof space. Core Gas Installations has done enough work along this stretch of the Atlantic Seaboard to know the difference between a standard suburban install and a Bantry Bay one.
We install and service gas hobs, ovens and fireplaces for apartment and house owners, supply and fit gas geysers sized correctly for the unit and install compliant cylinder cages where space is tight. Every installation is followed by a Certificate of Compliance under SANS 10087-1:2013 — essential in a sectional title context, where body corporates and insurers increasingly want to see documentation before they’ll approve or insure a gas installation at all.
Leak detection is a service we’re regularly called out for in this area, given how many older buildings have gas lines that were installed decades ago and never re-checked. Using electronic sniffer devices, we can trace even a faint leak without opening finished surfaces unnecessarily, then repair and re-certify the line.
Access in Bantry Bay can mean tight parking, security estates, or lift-only apartment access, and our technicians plan around that rather than treating it as a surprise on the day. If you manage a block of apartments here, or you’re a homeowner wanting a fireplace or hob installed properly and signed off, Core Gas Installations can quote the work, install it to standard, and hand you a compliance certificate you can file away or pass on to your insurer.
