GAS INSTALLATIONS
CAMPS BAY
We’re here to help
Camps Bay’s mix of architect-designed homes, holiday rentals and beachfront restaurants means Core Gas Installations rarely does the same job twice on this stretch of the Atlantic Seaboard. A week here can run from a discreet cylinder cage on a cliffside home to commercial gas work for a restaurant kitchen.
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 Camps Bay
A weekday might involve fitting a discreet cylinder cage on a cliffside property where the installation has to disappear into the landscaping, followed by commercial gas work for a restaurant kitchen along the main strip that can’t afford downtime during service hours.
We install and maintain gas stoves, hobs, ovens and fireplaces for residential clients, supply and fit gas geysers sized to the property, and handle commercial installations for hospitality businesses that need reliable, code-compliant gas supply for high-volume kitchens. Every cylinder installation is caged to SANS clearance standards and positioned with an eye for both compliance and appearance — a real consideration on Camps Bay properties where the gas setup shouldn’t be the first thing a guest notices.
All work is certified under SANS 10087-1:2013, and for holiday-letting properties in particular, that Certificate of Compliance is increasingly something platforms, insurers and property managers expect to see on file. We also carry out inspections on existing installations in older Camps Bay homes, many of which have had gas added or altered over multiple renovations without consistent documentation.
Given how many Camps Bay properties stand empty between lets or during the off-season, we recommend a maintenance check before reopening a home to guests — small issues with regulators or hoses are easy to catch on a scheduled visit and far more disruptive mid-booking. Our leak detection service, using electronic sniffer equipment, is available for exactly this kind of pre-season peace-of-mind check.
For property managers juggling several Camps Bay listings, we can set up a standing maintenance schedule that checks every property on a rotation rather than waiting for a guest complaint to trigger a call-out. Every job comes with a clear, itemised quote before work starts, so there’s no ambiguity when a homeowner or manager is reviewing costs across multiple properties. Core Gas Installations offers a 24-hour emergency line, and through the Core Services Group we can also bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection where a Camps Bay job crosses into another trade.
