GAS INSTALLATIONS
CLAREMONT
We’re here to help
Claremont’s identity as a Southern Suburbs retail and residential hub — anchored by Cavendish Square and the surrounding high street — means Core Gas Installations sees a steady mix of apartment installations, established family homes, and commercial gas work for the restaurants and retail tenants clustered around the centre.
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 Claremont
Few suburbs on our books combine quite that density of different property types within a few square kilometres.
We install and service gas stoves, hobs, ovens and fireplaces for Claremont homes, supply and fit gas geysers to suit anything from a compact apartment to a larger family property, and handle commercial installations for food and retail businesses that need dependable, compliant gas supply during trading hours. Cylinder cages are positioned to meet SANS clearance distances even where space is tight, which is often the case on smaller Claremont stands and in sectional title developments.
All installations carry a Certificate of Compliance under SANS 10087-1:2013. For Claremont’s many sectional title properties, that certificate is frequently required by the body corporate or the buyer’s bond provider before a sale can go through, and we’re used to turning documentation around quickly when a transaction is waiting on it.
We also inspect existing installations — useful in a suburb where older Claremont homes have often had gas added well after the original build — and offer leak detection using electronic sniffer equipment for anyone noticing a faint smell or an unexplained rise in gas usage. Whether it’s a new kitchen fit-out, a commercial installation, or a certificate needed for a pending sale, Core Gas Installations can handle the work.
For sectional title owners, we’re used to working directly with managing agents to get access sorted and compliance paperwork filed in whatever format the body corporate requires. Every job comes with a clear quote up front, so there’s no surprise between what was agreed and what appears on the final invoice. Core Gas Installations runs a 24-hour emergency line for Claremont residents, and as part of the Core Services Group we can also bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection if a job extends beyond gas work.
