Heater Bayonet Points
We run new bayonet points for lounge and bedroom heaters, position them clear of curtains and skirting, and pressure test the line so the heater connects on the same visit.

What Gas Fitting Covers
One licence, two trades
Our QBCC licence, QBCC No: 15024607, covers plumbing and drainage plus gasfitting, so the same trade that handles your water handles the gas feeding a heater, cooktop or BBQ point.
Testing is the whole game
A fault in a water pipe shows up as a drip, while a fault in a gas line can hide inside a wall, which is why every line we touch gets pressure tested before and after the work.
Gas Points in Hendra's Racing-Era Houses
Most of the housing here went up before 1940 or through the 1940s to the 1960s, mostly detached weatherboard and brick homes built around the racing trade, and threaded gas pipe from those same decades still runs through walls and under floors.
Winters are mild, but cold snaps still bite
The climate is subtropical and frost-free, yet one sharp morning sends a family to a heater point that has sat unused since spring, and we test before anything lights.
Old bayonets need proving, not just plugging in
A point unused for seasons can hold dried seals or tired thread tape, so we pressure test the line before a heater or BBQ connects to it.
Gas Work We Take On
Gas fitting covers everything that carries gas to a flame, from a new point in the wall to the certificate that proves the line holds pressure. This is the work we take on most:
Cooktop and Oven Connections
We extend or run new gas pipe to the kitchen, test it, connect the new cooktop or oven, and check every burner lights cleanly before we call the job finished.
Gas BBQ Points
A BBQ point outside saves the gas bottle run. We run the line, mount the quick-connect outlet where the patio suits it, test the run, and then certify it.
Line Testing and Certifying
We pressure test existing gas lines on older properties, trace faults to the joint or fitting that leaks, repair them, and issue the proper certification a new or altered line requires.
Appliance Relocations
Renovations move kitchens and heaters. We cap the old point, run the line to wherever the renovation puts the appliance, test the whole run, and reconnect it at the new spot.
Renovation Disconnections
Before a wall comes down, we isolate and cap the gas feeding it, drain the section, and make the line safe so the builders can work without a live pipe.

Gas Faults We Find
Four faults turn up on gas calls again and again, and each one has a cause worth knowing before you ring:
Pilot Won't Stay Lit
A pilot that lights but drops out usually traces to a tired thermocouple or a draft down the flue of the room heater, and both parts swap over in one short visit.
Yellow or Floating Flames
Flames burning yellow instead of blue mean poor combustion, most often a blocked air intake or a wrong gas pressure setting, and we correct the cause rather than the symptom.
Smell Near the Meter
A faint smell at the meter can be a weeping joint on the supply side, so we test with soapy water and tighten or replace the fitting that shows bubbles.
Heater Points Unused
A heater bayonet unused since last winter can hold dust, dried thread tape or a perished seal, so we test the point and the line before the first cold snap.
Why Licensed Gas Work Matters
Gas sits near the top of the list of jobs that should never be improvised, and the testing and certification exist for a reason. Three points worth knowing before you hand the job to anyone:
Safety cuts both ways
A done-right gas job is as safe as any plumbing in the house. Done wrong, it leaks into a wall cavity overnight, and that is a different class of problem.
The paperwork travels with the house
Certified gas work comes with documents, and those documents matter when a place changes hands or a heater gets replaced down the track.
One trade, one visit
Water and gas cross paths at the heater, the cooktop and the tank, so a plumber licensed for both sorts out the whole run in one go, from the hot water system to the burner.

Gas Questions From Hendra
Call (07) 3067 4276Do older Hendra houses need gas lines tested before a new heater connects?
Yes, because houses built before 1940 and through the postwar decades can carry threaded gas pipe generations old, so we pressure test the line and repair anything that will not hold before the heater connects.
Can reactive clay around Hendra open up gas pipe joints?
It can, because the soil here mixes alluvial ground with reactive clay that swells and shrinks through the year, so we pressure test older thread joints under the floor before quoting any repairs.
Can you connect a gas cooktop during a Hendra kitchen renovation?
We can, running or extending the gas line to the new spot, testing it, connecting the cooktop or oven, and issuing the certification the new appliance needs alongside the kitchen plumbing work.
Does a new gas BBQ point in Hendra need a certificate?
It does, because any new or altered gas line needs certifying, so we test the run, connect the BBQ point, and provide the paperwork proving the line holds pressure for your property records.
Can a gas smell in Hendra wait for a booked visit?
No, leave the property and call from outside without flicking switches or lighting flames, because we treat a suspected gas leak as urgent and the gas leak page sets out the immediate steps.
