GAS INSTALLATIONS
PLUMSTEAD
We’re here to help
Plumstead’s residential streets have stayed largely unchanged in character for decades, which means most of Core Gas Installations’ work here is quietly corrective rather than dramatic — bringing an older gas system up to current standard, or adding a hob or fireplace as part of a wider renovation.
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 Plumstead
We install and service gas stoves, hobs, ovens, fireplaces and geysers for Plumstead homes, with cylinder cages built to SANS clearance requirements. On the suburb’s older housing stock, we check that any existing gas supply setup still meets current standards before connecting new appliances to it, correcting whatever’s fallen out of compliance over the years rather than leaving it in place and hoping it holds.
Every job is certified under SANS 10087-1:2013, documentation Plumstead homeowners increasingly need for both insurance purposes and, given how steadily the suburb’s property market moves, for a sale. We also carry out stand-alone inspections and offer leak detection using electronic sniffer equipment for older systems that have never had an independent check — common in a suburb where gas has often been added by more than one previous owner.
For Plumstead homeowners renovating a kitchen or bathroom, we’re happy to coordinate gas work around the wider renovation timeline so different trades aren’t tripping over each other on-site. 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 Plumstead job needs it.
