GAS INSTALLATIONS
ZONNEBLOEM
We’re here to help
Redevelopment near the CBD has changed the shape of Zonnebloem considerably over the past several years, and Core Gas Installations sees that shift directly in the two kinds of work we do here: fitting out brand-new residential blocks, and servicing older properties that predate all of it.
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 Zonnebloem
On new developments, we coordinate with builders wherever possible, agreeing gas installation points and cylinder positions before construction reaches a stage where changes become expensive. On established properties, we install gas stoves, hobs, ovens, fireplaces and geysers, and check that any prior gas work meets current SANS clearance standards before adding to it — not unusual to find older Zonnebloem properties with installations that predate current regulation.
Every job, new or established, is certified under SANS 10087-1:2013. Given the pace of redevelopment in the area, that documentation matters more here than in a settled suburb — buyers, landlords and new tenants moving through Zonnebloem’s changing property market increasingly expect to see it on file rather than take compliance on trust.
We keep a record of every Zonnebloem installation on file, useful given the pace of redevelopment in the area and how often properties change hands. Core Gas Installations offers a 24-hour emergency line for Zonnebloem clients, and through the Core Services Group we can bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection where needed.
