Gas Fitting in Bronte

Original gas supply pipework in Bronte's Federation-era homes (copper or steel) typically has a long service life if it's been maintained. What needs checking is the condition of rubber connection hoses (legally must be replaced every 10 years), the gas appliance burners and pilot assemblies, and any modifications made over the decades that may not be compliant. We can do a full gas system inspection, identify anything non-compliant, and provide a compliance certificate once corrections are made.
