GAS INSTALLATIONS
GORDON’S Bay
We’re here to help
Gordon’s Bay sits where the Hottentots Holland mountains meet False Bay, a dramatic setting that also happens to be one of the more exposed stretches of coastline on our service map. Core Gas Installations plans corrosion resistance into every Gordon’s Bay job from the first quote.
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 Gordon’s Bay
We install and service gas stoves, hobs, ovens, fireplaces and geysers throughout Gordon’s Bay, with cylinder cages built to SANS clearance standards and fittings chosen specifically for the salt-laden air off False Bay. Many properties here function as holiday or weekend homes rather than full-time residences, which adds a second consideration beyond corrosion resistance: reliability after periods of non-use, so a system performs properly the moment the owners arrive rather than needing attention first.
Every installation is certified under SANS 10087-1:2013, documentation that matters for insurance on both permanent residences and holiday properties along this stretch of coast. Given the exposure, we recommend a noticeably shorter maintenance interval here than for suburbs further from the water, and our leak detection service, using electronic sniffer equipment, is particularly useful for reopening a property that’s stood empty for a season.
No job in Gordon’s Bay is too small for a proper site visit — even a single-appliance installation gets the same assessment and sign-off process as a larger job, because the compliance requirement doesn’t scale down with the size of the work. 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 Gordon’s Bay job needs it.
