Gas Fitting in Kensington

Yes, and it's a sensible step between tenancies. Older Kensington rental properties - particularly the 1960s unit blocks and post-war homes around Todman Avenue and Doncaster Avenue - often have gas connections that haven't been checked in years. We inspect all gas appliances, test for leaks on the supply pipework, check rubber hose expiry dates, assess burner condition, and issue a compliance certificate once everything passes. If anything needs correcting, we quote the work and can usually complete it the same day so there's no delay on the tenancy.

If gas is already at the meter, the work involves running a gas line from the meter to the cooktop location, installing the connection point, fitting the cooktop, pressure-testing, and providing the compliance certificate. Most Kensington homes have gas available because the suburb was well-connected during the post-war building era. If you don't have gas to the property, we coordinate with the gas distributor for a new connection. Standard timing for the gas-fit plus cooktop install is one day once the system is on site.
