General Plumbing in Kurri Kurri
Gas Fitting Kurri Kurri
Gas fitting is licensed work, and it covers everything from a new cooktop connection to bringing century-old pipework up to standard. Plumbers Kurri Kurri does the lot across Kurri Kurri and the surrounding coalfields towns.
Every job is quoted before work begins, done by licensed plumbers, pressure tested and signed off the way the rules require.
What that means on every call:
- $0 call out and a clear price up front
- same-day service where the schedule allows
- if something isn't up to standard afterwards, we come back and make it right
Gas sits in a different category to water. A weeping tap is annoying; a gas joint that lets go is dangerous.
Gas fitting work we do
Most calls start with an appliance change rather than a fault. Here's the spread:
Cooktop and oven connections
A new cooktop or wall oven gets connected to the gas supply properly, with the line leak tested and the appliance fully commissioned before we leave your kitchen.
Bayonet points for heaters
Bayonet points get installed or relocated to whichever room needs one, so a portable heater can be moved around the house without a hose dragged across a doorway ever again.
Gas leak detection and repair
A suspected leak is treated as urgent, with the supply isolated, the whole run pressure tested and the faulty joint replaced before the gas is turned back on.
Older-home upgrades
Dated fittings in the older cottages and fibro places get brought up to current standard, which matters whenever an appliance change exposes pipework nobody has touched in decades.
Gas hot water connections
New gas hot water systems get their supply lines sized, run and connected correctly, because an undersized line starves the unit right when you need it on a cold morning.
Commercial gas work
Cafes and shops get gas work for commercial cooktops and appliances, scheduled around trading hours so a kitchen is never down for longer than it has to be.
Why the gas work here is rarely a simple swap
The gas aged with the town.
That plays out in a predictable pattern. A family buys a new cooktop, the old connection turns out to be a fitting that hasn't seen a spanner in decades, and the job grows by an hour.
It's not a drama, but it's why we quote the connection work honestly rather than pretending every swap is a ten-minute bolt-on.
The housing stock tells the story.
Those places carry gas runs of matching vintage in some cases. When we open up a wall or lift a floorboard, we expect the unexpected and price the risk into the quote rather than springing it on you later.
Commercial kitchens run gas hard.
Signs something is wrong with your gas
Gas problems usually announce themselves, but only if you know what to notice. Any of these earns a phone call:
A smell of gas indoors
Any gas smell indoors, near the meter or around an appliance is never one to wait on, and it always earns a phone call straight away, day or night.
A yellow or lazy flame
A yellow or lazy flame on a burner instead of a crisp blue one points to incomplete combustion, and it is always worth having checked sooner rather than later.
Feeling off indoors
Unexplained headaches or dizziness that ease once you step outside deserve a check the same day, because an appliance that burns poorly can affect the air inside a whole house.
Sounds, corrosion and bills
A hissing sound at the meter or a gas bill climbing without explanation both justify a proper look. Finding the cause early costs far less than waiting.
If you do smell gas, shut the supply at the meter if it's safe to reach, open the windows, don't touch the light switches, and ring (02) 4063 3413. We treat suspected leaks as urgent calls.

Gas fitting questions we hear
Do you do gas work for cooktops and kitchen appliances?
Yes. Cooktop and wall oven connections, bayonet points and appliance upgrades are all licensed gas fitting work, quoted up front and tested before we leave the job.
Can you bring old gas fittings up to standard?
Yes. Plenty of local homes were piped generations ago, and an appliance swap is often the first time anyone opens those lines, so we bring the pipework up to standard while we're there.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Turn the gas off at the meter if you can reach it safely, open the windows, leave the light switches alone, and call us straight away on (02) 4063 3413.
Do you work on gas hot water systems?
Yes. We run and connect the gas supply line for new gas hot water systems, sized properly so the unit is not starved at peak times. Repairs sit under the hot water hub.
How do I know if a gas fitting is leaking?
A smell of gas, a hiss near the meter, a yellow flame instead of blue, or a bill that climbs for no reason all justify a pressure test. Call us and we'll check.
Do you charge a call out fee for gas jobs?
No. Every gas job starts with a $0 call out, and you get the price in writing before work begins. Approve the quote or we shake hands and leave, no charge.
