Smelling gas right now? Turn the appliance off if it's safe, open the doors and windows, and don't touch any switches. If the smell stays, shut the gas off at the meter or cylinder and call (07) 3523 7172; call 000 if it persists.
From the Meter or Cylinder to the Appliance
Gas work, in the Queensland Government's words, covers installing, altering, repairing, servicing, removing, testing or certifying gas systems, plus every pipe and connection. Both fuel types fall under it: natural gas arriving by pipe, and LPG kept in cylinders or tanks. A licensed gasfitter is the only person allowed to do any of it.
That scope is broader than most people expect:
- running a new line from the meter or cylinders to a cooktop or heater;
- fitting a bayonet for a barbecue or portable heater outdoors;
- servicing and testing appliances such as cookers, barbecues and hot water systems;
- certifying a finished job so the paperwork is in order.
Appliances should also be checked over from time to time by a licensed gasfitter and used to the manufacturer's instructions. Suspected leaks have their own page: gas leak repairs. Hot water plumbing covers the gas-fed tank most homes here run.
Why Gas Quotes Differ From Job to Job
A gas quote turns on four things: what the job is, how we reach the pipework, how many points it adds, and whether the supply needs a check. A fixed quote locks the figure before work begins, so nothing on the day changes it.
Each driver has a practical edge to it:
The type of work
A service or a repair sits at one end; a new line with extra joints and testing sits at the other.
Access
Hendra's older weatherboard houses often carry pipe runs under floors and inside wall cavities. A line buried behind a wall on Mein Street takes longer to get at than one under a sink cabinet.
Gas points
Every extra point adds pipe, joints and testing time.
The supply check
Before anything new goes in, the gasfitter checks that the supply will handle the extra load: liquefied petroleum (LP) gas cylinder storage, the vaporisation rate, the gas meter and its capacity, and the pipe sizing.
Age adds its own wrinkle here. The racing-era houses went in with galvanised pipe, and surviving steel from that era still sits inside walls and beneath floors on the older lots, which can slow access and add joints to work around.
Plumbers, Gas Fitters and Their Licences
Gas work is reserved for licensed gasfitters, so ask to see the licence before they begin. That advice comes straight from the Queensland Government, and no tradie worth booking will mind showing it.
Water pipes and drains sit under a different licensing scheme. The hands-on tradesperson needs an occupational licence; running the business side needs a contractor licence on top, and the QBCC administers both. Through the QBCC's online registers, an owner can confirm a plumber's licence status and check for any Form 4 lodged against the property.
Plenty of plumbers hold both sets, and that combination suits a suburb like this one, where a single visit often touches water pipes and gas lines together. Checking takes a minute and costs nothing.
The Gas Compliance Certificate After Installation
The gas system compliance certificate certifies a completed installation or alteration as compliant. The licence holder gives the owner the original immediately the work is complete, so keep it with the house paperwork as the record of a proper sign-off.
Two details around the certificate are worth knowing:
Who else gets a copy
Where fuel gas comes from a distribution network, the network operator receives a copy too, inside 5 days.
What it covers
The certificate applies to new installations and alterations only; a service or a routine check doesn't end with one.
For the appliances themselves, our gas cooktop installation page covers connection and clearances, and gas bayonet installation covers outdoor points for barbecues and heaters.

Gas Fitting Questions Hendra Owners Ask
Call (07) 3523 7172What does a gas fitter actually do at a home?
A gas fitter installs, alters, repairs, services, tests, removes and certifies gas systems, pipes and connections included. Cooktops, bayonets and heaters all sit on that list. Servicing is gas work as well, and appliances should be checked over from time to time against the maker's instructions.
Are plumbers and gas fitters the same thing?
No, they are not the same. Gas work needs its own gas work licence, which a plumber must hold before touching a gas system; water pipes and drains sit under the plumbing and drainage licence. Ask which licence your tradie holds before booking.
How do I check a gas fitter's licence in Hendra?
Ask them to show their gas work licence before they begin. For plumbing work, the QBCC's online registers show the licence status and whether a Form 4 has been filed for your address.
What certificate follows a new gas installation?
The gas system compliance certificate is the document that follows. Once an install or alteration is complete, the licence holder gives you the original straight away, certifying the work complies. If your gas comes from a distribution network, the operator gets a copy within 5 days.
Are your gas fitters licensed for gas work in Hendra?
Yes, every one of them is. Every job is done by a licensed plumber, we're licensed and insured, and our gasfitters hold the gas work licence the work requires. Ask us to show it before we start, and we will.
Do the gas work rules cover both natural gas and LPG?
Yes, both fuel types are covered. The Queensland Government's gas safety advice takes in natural gas arriving by pipe and LPG kept in cylinders or tanks. The same licence and certificate rules apply to each.
