GAS INSTALLATIONS
BRACKENFELL
We’re here to help
Brackenfell isn’t just another suburb on our service map — it’s where Core Gas Installations is based. Our head office sits at Platinum Park on Taurus Road, which means Brackenfell homeowners and businesses get the shortest response times of anywhere we work.
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 Brackenfell
That also means a team that treats the suburb as home turf rather than a drive-out job.
From here we handle the full spread of residential and commercial gas work: stoves, hobs, ovens and fireplaces for houses across Brackenfell’s many residential pockets, gas geyser supply and installation, and commercial gas fitting for the restaurants, retail centres and light-industrial units that make up the suburb’s business side. Cylinder cages are built and positioned to SANS clearance requirements, and every completed installation carries a Certificate of Compliance issued under SANS 10087-1:2013.
Being local also means we’re the team most Brackenfell businesses call first for gas inspections ahead of a health and safety audit, a change of tenancy, or a routine compliance renewal. We check regulators, isolation valves, piping runs and cylinder positioning against current standards, and flag anything that needs correcting before it becomes a problem during an official inspection.
Our leak detection service, using electronic sniffer devices, is available on the same short response time as everything else we do in Brackenfell — if you can smell gas or suspect a slow leak, we can usually get a technician to you quickly given the distance involved is measured in minutes, not an hour-long drive across the metro.
If you’re in Brackenfell and need a gas installation, inspection, repair or certificate, you’re calling the team that’s already around the corner.
Being based in Brackenfell also means we’re often the first call when something urgent comes up outside business hours — our 24-hour emergency line is answered by technicians who already know the area rather than someone dispatching a job blind. As part of the wider Core Services Group, we can bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection on the same visit if a Brackenfell job turns out to need more than gas work alone, saving a household or business the hassle of coordinating separate contractors.
