Gas runs deep in this riverfront pocket: Brisbane's second gasworks opened here in 1887, and its heritage-listed gas holder still stands over the Gasworks precinct near Gasometer Park today.
What Gas Fitting Work Covers
Gas work, as Queensland defines it, covers installing, removing, altering, repairing, servicing, testing and certifying a gas system, together with the pipework and every connection in it. Two fuel gases count: natural gas reaching your home through a pipe, and LPG stored in bottles or tanks.
The everyday jobs that flow from that definition:
Installs and alterations
running a new line to a cooktop, shifting a connection, or adding an appliance to an existing system
Repairs and servicing
fixing faults, plus the regular check-over that appliances such as cookers and barbecues should get from a licensed gasfitter
Testing and certification
proving a system is safe, then signing off where a certificate applies
Hot water on gas
one line only, because our hot water plumbing page carries that depth
Servicing is gas work too, no different from a new install in the eyes of the law. Appliances should also be fitted and run as the manufacturer specifies, which is part of what the gasfitter checks on the day.
Proof That a Gas Installation Is Compliant
A gas system compliance certificate states that a finished gas installation or alteration complies with the rules. The licence holder hands you the original as the owner, the moment the job is done.
Two details around the certificate are worth knowing:
Where a network supplies your fuel gas
its operator is given a copy within 5 days
What it attaches to
installs and alterations, not every small repair or service visit
The full story on plates, copies and what happens when a property changes hands sits on our gas compliance certificates page.
Who May Do Gas Work in Queensland
Queensland reserves gas work for licensed gasfitters, whichever fuel your home runs on. The Queensland Government's advice is plain: before any gas job starts, ask the person to show you their gas work licence.
Licences differ, and the difference matters at your door:
Gas work licence
the credential that authorises work on a gas system, held by the individual
Plumbing and drainage licences
the QBCC issues one licence for the worker and a contractor licence for the business side of that trade
Your check
the QBCC's registers are searchable online, so you can confirm a licence and any Form 4 lodged for your address
A plumber who also carries a gas work licence can do both sides of a job. Ask which licence covers the work you are booking, and see it before the tools come out.
What Decides the Price of Gas Work
The price of a gas job turns on the work type, the access, the count of gas points and whether the supply needs a check. A fixed quote pins the figure before we begin.
What each driver looks like on the ground:
Type of job
a service check sits well below an alteration that adds pipe, fittings and test time
Access
a cooktop swap in a strata tower off Commercial Road means lifts, permissions and common areas, where a house kitchen is a straight run
Gas points
each extra point brings more pipe, more joints and more testing to the same job
Supply check
before adding an appliance or a whole new system, the gasfitter first checks the supply. For LPG that means bottle storage and how fast the gas can vaporise. For metered gas it means the meter's flow limit and the pipe sizes downstream.

Three pages sit under this one, each carrying its own depth:

Gas Fitting Questions From Newstead
Call (07) 3523 7121What does a gas fitter actually do at a home?
A gasfitter installs, removes, alters, repairs, services, tests and certifies gas systems and all their pipework. Cooktops, heaters and bayonet points all fall inside that list, and every connection gets tested before the appliance runs.
Are plumbers and gas fitters the same trade?
No, they are separate trades. A plumbing and drainage licence covers water work, while gas needs its own gas work licence. Plenty of Newstead tradespeople carry both, so ask which licence the person at your door holds before the job starts.
Can a plumber legally fit a gas appliance in Queensland?
Yes, if that plumber carries a gas work licence as well. Queensland restricts gas work to licensed gasfitters, so the licence check comes first, before any tools come out.
Who gets the gas compliance certificate?
You do, as the owner. The licence holder gives you the original the moment a gas install or alteration wraps up, and where a network supplies the fuel, the operator is sent a copy within 5 days.
Are your gas fitters licensed for work in Newstead?
Yes, we are. Every job is done by a licensed plumber, our gas work goes to a licensed gasfitter, and we are licensed and insured. Ask to see our gas work licence and we will show you before we start.
Do the gas work rules cover both natural gas and LPG?
Yes, both fuels. The Queensland Government's gas safety advice covers natural gas by pipe and LPG in bottles or tanks alike, and one set of licence and certificate rules governs the pair, including here in Newstead.
