GAS INSTALLATIONS
GOODWOOD
We’re here to help
Goodwood’s established streets, built up around its railway and commercial centre over many decades, mean Core Gas Installations sees plenty of older gas installations here that need correction as much as new ones that need fitting from scratch.
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 Goodwood
Corrective work — bringing a cylinder cage or piping run up to current SANS clearance standards — is as common as any brand-new job in this suburb.
We install and service gas stoves, hobs, ovens and fireplaces for Goodwood homes, supply and fit gas geysers, and handle commercial gas work for the businesses along the suburb’s main commercial strips. Cylinder cages are positioned to meet SANS clearance requirements from doors, windows, drains and electrical points, and where an older installation falls short, we correct it as part of the same job rather than working around the problem.
All work is certified under SANS 10087-1:2013, and we regularly carry out standalone inspections for Goodwood homeowners who’ve bought a property with gas already installed and want independent confirmation it was done properly. That certificate has also become a standard request during property sales in the area.
Our leak detection service, using electronic sniffer equipment, and ongoing maintenance are available throughout Goodwood. If you need a new gas installation, a correction to an older one, or an existing system inspected and certified, Core Gas Installations can quote and complete the work.
Because we do so much corrective work in Goodwood, we’re upfront from the first site visit about what needs fixing versus what’s already compliant, so a homeowner isn’t paying to redo work that’s already sound. Every quote is itemised clearly before work begins. Core Gas Installations offers a 24-hour emergency line, and through the Core Services Group we can bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection where a Goodwood job needs it.
