GAS INSTALLATIONS
Grabouw
We’re here to help
Grabouw sits at the centre of the Elgin Valley, an area better known for apple and pear orchards than for much else, and Core Gas Installations’ work here reflects that agricultural economy directly — as much farmhouse and staff accommodation installation as standard town-based residential work.
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 Grabouw
We install gas stoves, hobs, ovens, fireplaces and geysers for homes throughout Grabouw and the farms surrounding it, and given how many properties here include packing sheds and equipment tied to fruit-processing operations, we also handle commercial and agricultural gas installations sized for that kind of demand. Cylinder cages are built to SANS clearance standards whether the installation sits beside a farmhouse kitchen or a working packing facility.
Every job is certified under SANS 10087-1:2013, giving Grabouw property owners documentation for insurance, and giving commercial farming operations the paperwork needed for workplace safety compliance covering staff accommodation. We also inspect older farm installations, some fitted informally years ago without ever going through a formal certification process, and offer leak detection using electronic sniffer equipment.
Whether it’s a single farmhouse or a staff block with several bathrooms, we quote Grabouw jobs on what the property actually needs, not a standard package that may not fit a working farm’s layout. Core Gas Installations covers Grabouw and the wider Elgin Valley, scheduling call-outs efficiently given the distance from our Brackenfell base without compromising on the standard of work.
