What Are the Warning Signs?

Gas escapes quietly, and the signs build slowly enough to miss for weeks. These are the ones worth acting on:

A smell like rotten eggs near the meter, in a cupboard or under the floor
Burners giving a floppy, orange-tipped flame
An appliance that keeps shutting down, or a pilot flame that keeps going out
A dead or browning strip of lawn tracking a buried line across the yard
A gas bill rising while you use the stove and heater the same as ever

Any one of them is worth a booking now rather than later.

What Should You Do First?

Clear the house before anything else

Get people and animals out into the yard, and leave the doors open on the way out where you can do it without delay. Switches, anything electrical and any flame stay untouched, and the calls get made from outside.

A strong smell at the meter or out in the street is a network fault

The distributor's emergency line is the first call, because the main and the meter are theirs to shut down. Once it is safe, ring us about the pipework that serves the house.

What Drives the Price of a Leak Job?

We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

The figure on a leak job comes down to:

Where the fault sits, because a worn tap at the meter is a quick job while a leak traced under a floor takes longer
The state of the surrounding run, since matching old pipe and fittings to today's standard adds parts and time
The working space, because sub-floor gaps in the older cottages slow every repair down
Whether you ring at 9pm with a smell, which is an after-hours job priced higher than a daytime check

Where the Ageing Gas Lines Sit

House by house connections

This suburb is almost entirely separate houses, plus a few unit blocks by the railway station, and the gas went in one home at a time. A weatherboard cottage connected in the 1960s may be on its third cooktop and its original shut-off tap.

Old fittings, moving ground

Post-war cottages and the brick-veneer builds that followed carry fittings from the decade they were built, and the reactive clay under them shrinks and swells with the seasons, putting strain on buried joints. A fault found at one aged connector is a fair reason to test the rest of the run.

When We're Not the Right Call

The main is not ours

Gas escaping from the street pipe or the meter is the distributor's problem, and their crews isolate it. Our work starts at the house side of the connection and covers the pipework, the fittings and every appliance on the run, all part of the wider gas fitting service.

A climbing bill with no smell?

A worn-out heater or stove may be burning too much gas, and the gas appliance installation page covers that swap. A dripping pipe or a mystery damp patch is plumbing, not gas, and the water leak detection team handles those calls.

What Beresfield Households Ask About Gas Leaks

What do I do first if my Beresfield house smells of gas?

Get everyone outside before anything else, and leave the doors wide behind you where it is safe to do so. Skip the light switches and anything electrical, and make the calls from out in the yard. The network's emergency number comes first for a mains-side smell, then (02) 4063 1232 for the house pipework and fittings.

Can you find a leak under the floor of an older cottage here?

Yes. The detectors read gas in very small concentrations, so a slow escape under an old cottage floor is located without a board coming up. Runs of that age are checked end to end during the same visit, and any worn parts are listed in the quote before the repair starts.

Do you repair the leak or only find it?

Finding and fixing are the same job here. The detector locates the fault, a licensed gas fitter makes the repair, and the run gets a pressure test before sign-off. Every repair carries our 365-day warranty on all work, and the paperwork is yours to keep.

Should the gas line be checked before a new oven or heater goes in?

In post-war houses it is a smart move, because a run laid in the 1960s may not meet what a modern appliance needs. The check is part of the installation visit, and any upgrading of the old fittings is written into the quote so the price holds.
