This page explains what gas work covers, who may legally do it, and when the compliance paperwork is issued. For the wider picture, start at our Hamilton home page.
Gas Jobs a Gas Fitter Handles at Home
Queensland defines gas work broadly: installing, removing, altering, repairing, servicing, testing or certifying the system, plus every pipe and connection in it. Both home fuel gases count: natural gas arriving through a pipe, and LPG, whether it comes in bottles or a bulk tank. Only a gasfitter holding a current licence may do any of it.
That covers more than new installations:
Installing
a cooktop, a heater line or a bayonet outlet
Repairing
faults in pipework or at an appliance connection
Servicing
cookers, barbecues and the like need periodic attention from a licensed gasfitter
Testing
the system once work is done, so it's proven to hold pressure
Certifying
a finished installation as compliant
Appliances also need to be installed and used as the manufacturer intends. A cooktop fitted outside those instructions isn't just a defect; it's a hazard in the room you cook in.
The Gas Compliance Certificate After Installation
Compliance certificates are the paperwork confirming finished gas work meets the rules. For gas, the certificate attaches to an installation or an alteration, and the licence holder gives it to the owner straight away on completion. It's not a receipt; it's the formal sign-off that the work was done lawfully.
Two things are worth knowing:
Installs and alterations only
Repairs and service visits don't produce one.
The network gets a copy
Where a distribution network supplies your gas, its operator receives a copy inside 5 days.
Keep the original with your property records, since it's your proof if you sell. What the document contains, and when you'll need it, sits on our compliance certificates page.
How to Check a Gas Fitter's Licence
Only a licensed gasfitter can lawfully do gas work, so ask for the gas work licence before anyone starts. The Queensland Government's advice is exactly that: sight it first. Someone who can't produce a licence on the spot has answered the question for you.
Plumbing and drainage runs on two licences of its own. The person on the tools holds an occupational licence; running jobs as a business needs a contractor licence on top, and the QBCC issues both. Its online registers are public too, so you can confirm a licence and check whether a Form 4 exists for an address.
Hamilton Town Hall, the heritage-listed brick hall from 1921, stands at Racecourse Road and Rossiter Parade. Checking takes a minute, whether the address is a villa by the hall or a riverside unit.
Why Gas Quotes Differ From Job to Job
Four things set a gas quote: the job itself, how hard the pipework is to get at, the count of gas points, plus any supply check. A written fixed quote locks the price before tools come out.
Here's how each driver works:
The job itself
Fixing a fault or doing a service is a shorter visit than running a new line up a second storey.
Access
Pipework behind a lined wall costs more to reach than a run in an open cupboard or a ceiling space.
Gas point count
Every added outlet brings extra pipe, extra joints and extra testing.
The supply check
Before any new appliance is connected, the gasfitter confirms the supply can handle the added load. That covers cylinder storage and vaporisation for LPG, the meter's flow capacity, and the pipe sizing.
More outlets and tighter access push the labour up, and the quote shows that before we begin.
Gas Work We Cover Across Hamilton
Gasfitting splits into three jobs on this site, each with its own page:
- Leaks: the smell-gas steps, testing and repairs. See gas leak repairs.
- Cooktops: connecting a new unit safely, clearances included. See gas cooktop installs.
- Certificates: copies, plates and what sellers need. See compliance certificates.
Gas hot water units sit outside this page; our hot water plumbing page has that detail.

Gas Questions From Hamilton Homes
Call (07) 3523 6484What does a gas fitter actually do at a home?
A gas fitter installs, repairs and services gas systems, and tests the pipework and connections feeding your appliances. Cooktops, heaters and barbecues all sit under that umbrella. Finished installs are certified as part of the job.
Who gets the gas compliance certificate after a job?
The owner keeps the original, handed over as soon as the work is finished. If your gas comes from a network, its operator also gets a copy within 5 days.
How much does a gas fitter cost in Hamilton?
The price depends on the type of job, how easily we reach the pipework, how many gas points there are, and whether a supply check applies. A fixed quote locks in the price before we begin.
Does a new gas appliance need a supply check first?
Yes, this check comes first. The gasfitter confirms the gas supply is up to the added load before connecting anything new. That covers LPG cylinder storage and vaporisation, the meter's rating, and the pipe sizing.
Should I call a gas fitter or the gas supplier about a leak?
Go outside and ring from there. The supplier's emergency number sits on your gas bill, and a licensed gasfitter does the repair once it's safe. Our gas leak page walks through the full steps.
Are your gas fitters licensed for gas work in Hamilton?
Yes, our gasfitters hold the required licences and work under our QBCC coverage. You can ask to sight the gas work licence any time before we start.
