GAS INSTALLATIONS
GREEN POINT
We’re here to help
Green Point’s dense apartment blocks, close to the stadium and the Sea Point promenade, mean most of the gas installation work Core Gas Installations carries out here happens within sectional title buildings — shared service infrastructure, body corporate sign-off, and units where available space shapes what’s realistic more than in a standalone house.
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 Green Point
We install and service gas stoves, hobs, ovens and fireplaces for Green Point apartments, supply and fit gas geysers sized to the unit, and build cylinder cages positioned within the constraints of a shared building while still meeting SANS clearance requirements. For body corporates managing several units, we coordinate installations and certification consistently across a block rather than each owner using a different contractor.
Every installation is certified under SANS 10087-1:2013, documentation Green Point body corporates and insurers increasingly require before approving gas work in a shared building. We also inspect existing installations, common in a suburb with a high proportion of rental and investment properties, and offer leak detection using electronic sniffer equipment built to trace issues within shared infrastructure without disrupting neighbouring units.
Core Gas Installations can work with individual owners or body corporates on gas installation, inspection and certification throughout Green Point.
For body corporates managing several Green Point units, we can set up a standing arrangement covering inspections and certification across an entire building on a consistent schedule. Every quote is itemised clearly before work starts. Core Gas Installations runs a 24-hour emergency line, and through the Core Services Group we can bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection where a Green Point job needs it. We’re used to the paperwork body corporates need in Green Point specifically, and can supply certificates in whatever format a managing agent or trustee requires without a homeowner having to chase it down separately.
