GAS INSTALLATIONS
CONSTANTIA
We’re here to help
Constantia is South Africa’s oldest wine-producing region, and the properties we work on here tend to match that history — large stands, established gardens, wine cellars, and homes that have been extended and renovated across generations rather than built once and left alone.
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 Constantia
Core Gas Installations approaches Constantia projects knowing that a gas installation often has to integrate with decades of existing building work rather than a clean slate.
We install gas stoves, hobs, ovens and fireplaces across Constantia’s main house and guest cottage combinations, supply and fit gas geysers sized for larger households, and build cylinder cages positioned to clear boundary walls, water features, staff accommodation and electrical infrastructure as SANS regulations require. On estate-sized properties this sometimes means routing gas lines considerable distances from the cylinder store to the point of use, work our technicians plan out before a single pipe goes in the ground.
Every installation is certified under SANS 10087-1:2013, and we regularly carry out inspections on existing systems for Constantia homeowners who’ve bought an established property and want everything checked and documented rather than assumed. Given how many Constantia properties include wine cellars, cottages and entertainment areas with their own gas points, we treat each installation as a small network rather than a single connection.
Maintenance visits are worth scheduling here simply because of scale — a property with three geysers, a kitchen installation and an outdoor fireplace has more that can go wrong than a standard suburban home, and catching a worn regulator or ageing hose early avoids a bigger repair later. Our leak detection service, using electronic sniffer equipment, covers the full property rather than just the areas an owner happens to notice.
Core Gas Installations can design, install and certify gas work for Constantia properties of any scale.
For estate managers overseeing a Constantia property with staff on-site, we can arrange induction so household staff know how to identify a gas issue and who to call, which often catches a small problem well before it becomes an emergency. Every job comes with a clear, itemised quote and a full compliance file once complete. Core Gas Installations runs a 24-hour emergency line, and through the Core Services Group we can also bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection where a Constantia project touches more than one trade.
