GAS INSTALLATIONS
DURBANVILLE
We’re here to help
Durbanville’s growth over the past two decades — new residential estates spreading out from the older wine-route town centre — means Core Gas Installations sees two distinct kinds of work here: gas installations for brand-new homes going up in developing suburbs, and upgrades or repairs on the established properties closer to Durbanville’s historic core.
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 Durbanville
Both need the same standard of work, but they start from very different points.
For new-build clients, we install gas stoves, hobs, ovens, fireplaces and geysers from the ground up, working alongside builders and developers to get cylinder cages and gas lines positioned correctly before finishes go in — far easier and cheaper than retrofitting later. For established Durbanville homes, we handle everything from adding a gas hob to an existing kitchen to bringing an older cylinder installation up to current SANS clearance standards.
Every installation, new or corrective, carries a Certificate of Compliance issued under SANS 10087-1:2013. This has become a standard requirement for Durbanville’s active property market, where estate agents and conveyancers routinely request compliance certificates for gas, electrical and plumbing before a sale can be finalised — we turn these around promptly when a transaction is time-sensitive.
We also service the wine estates and smallholdings on Durbanville’s outskirts, where gas is often used for both domestic and small-scale hospitality purposes, such as tasting rooms and function venues. Leak detection, using electronic sniffer equipment, and routine maintenance round out our offering for property owners who want an existing system checked rather than waiting for something to go wrong.
Whether you’re building new in Durbanville or maintaining an established property, Core Gas Installations can quote and carry out the work.
For developers and builders, we’re happy to work from plans ahead of a site visit so gas points are agreed before construction reaches that stage, avoiding costly changes later. For homeowners, every quote sets out clearly what’s included, from the installation itself through to the compliance certificate at the end. Core Gas Installations offers a 24-hour emergency line for Durbanville clients, and as part of the Core Services Group we can also bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection where a job needs it.
