GAS INSTALLATIONS
Wellington
We’re here to help
Wellington grows wine grapes, table grapes, dried fruit and a fair share of South Africa’s seed production, and that agricultural base gives Core Gas Installations a genuinely different mix of work here than in a purely residential suburb.
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 Wellington
Family homes in town need the same standard installation as anywhere else; the farms and packing operations spread across the district need something scoped around their own particular demands.
For town properties, we install gas stoves, hobs, ovens, fireplaces and geysers, with cylinder cages built to SANS clearance requirements on stands that are usually more modest than a farm’s footprint. For farm clients, the job typically spans more ground — a main farmhouse plus separate staff accommodation, occasionally equipment tied to the operation itself — and we plan pipe routing across the whole site rather than pricing it as a single connection.
Every installation is certified under SANS 10087-1:2013, documentation that Wellington homeowners need for insurance and that farming operations need to demonstrate compliant staff accommodation standards during an inspection. We also inspect older farm installations regularly, since gas has sometimes been added informally on working farms over the years without anyone formalising the paperwork at the time.
On farm properties around Wellington specifically, we schedule installation and servicing to cover a main house and any staff accommodation in a single trip where possible, making the most of the drive out from Brackenfell. 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.
