GAS INSTALLATIONS
CENTURY CITY
We’re here to help
Century City’s mix of high-density residential blocks, office parks and retail around Canal Walk means gas installation work here spans two quite different worlds — apartment living on one side, and commercial kitchens and business premises on the other.
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 Century City
Core Gas Installations works across both, which is useful in a precinct where a single body corporate might be responsible for both a restaurant tenant and dozens of residential units.
For residential clients we install gas hobs, ovens and fireplaces, supply and fit gas geysers, and build cylinder cages that meet SANS clearance requirements even in the compact courtyards and balconies typical of Century City’s newer developments. For commercial clients — restaurants, retail tenants, and office premises — we install and maintain gas systems built for continuous, high-demand use, with compliance documentation that satisfies both landlords and health inspectors.
Every installation, residential or commercial, is signed off with a Certificate of Compliance under SANS 10087-1:2013. In a precinct like Century City, where properties change hands and tenancies turn over more often than in an established suburb, having that paperwork on file makes both selling a unit and renewing a commercial lease considerably smoother.
We also carry out gas inspections for body corporates managing multiple units, and our leak detection service uses electronic sniffer equipment to trace issues in shared service ducts or risers without unnecessary disruption to neighbouring tenants. Given the density of Century City, a leak in one unit’s installation is never purely that unit’s problem — which is exactly why body corporates here tend to want a gas contractor they can call on repeatedly rather than a one-off.
Core Gas Installations can quote residential, commercial and body corporate gas work throughout Century City.
For body corporates in particular, we can set up a standing service agreement covering inspections and certification across an entire building rather than responding unit by unit, which keeps costs predictable and documentation consistent. Every job, residential or commercial, comes with a clear quote and a compliance certificate filed for easy reference later. Core Gas Installations runs a 24-hour emergency line, and as part of the Core Services Group we can bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection where a Century City job needs more than one trade.
