GAS INSTALLATIONS
Malmesbury
We’re here to help
Malmesbury serves the Swartland’s wheat farms the way a market town serves its district — a place where equipment gets serviced, supplies get bought, and trades like ours pick up work from both the town itself and the farms scattered across the surrounding wheat country.
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 Malmesbury
Core Gas Installations splits its Malmesbury workload accordingly, between standard household jobs in town and larger properties out on working farms.
In town, we install gas stoves, hobs, ovens, fireplaces and geysers to the same standard we’d apply anywhere closer to Cape Town, with cylinder cages built to SANS clearance requirements. On farms, the job usually spans more ground — a main farmhouse and separate staff accommodation, sometimes several buildings needing their own gas point — and we plan routing across the full site before quoting rather than pricing it as though it were a single town stand.
Every installation is certified under SANS 10087-1:2013, which matters for Malmesbury homeowners insuring a property and for farming operations that need to show compliant staff accommodation standards during an inspection. We also inspect older farm installations regularly, since gas has sometimes been fitted informally on working farms over the years without the paperwork keeping pace with the work itself.
We keep a record of every Malmesbury installation on file, which makes future servicing faster and gives a farming operation a clear compliance history to show an inspector if asked. 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 needed.
