General Plumbing in Heddon Greta
Gas Fitting Heddon Greta
Plumbers Heddon Greta handles the gas side of the trade as well as the water side: new lines, cooktops, heater points, BBQ connections and leak repairs.
Heddon Greta homes get all of it from licensed gas fitters who know the difference between a colliery-era cottage and a four-bedroom build off the expressway.
Gas work is not a handyman job. Every joint gets pressure-tested, every job is certified, and the same licence that covers your drains covers your gas.
What that means on your job:
- A $0 call out and a written quote before any work starts
- Every joint pressure-tested before the supply goes back on
- A compliance certificate handed over with the job, every time
If you're weighing up gas against other options, the general plumbing hub shows the full range, and the hot water section covers gas systems in depth.
The gas work we handle
Here's what lands on the truck most weeks:
Gas cooktops and bayonets
We run new gas lines to kitchens, fit cooktops and add bayonet points for heaters, testing every joint before the gas goes back on and the flame is checked properly.
Gas hot water
Continuous flow and gas storage units are regular work, whether you're swapping a dead unit or moving to gas, and the hot water hub covers that wider job in detail.
Gas heater points
Adding a bayonet point for a gas heater means running a new line through the wall space, sealing penetrations properly and pressure-testing the whole run before you first light up.
Leaks and repairs
A smell of gas is treated as urgent: we isolate the supply, leak-test the line section by section, and repair or replace the faulty piece with all the work certified.
Gas BBQ points
A permanent BBQ connection out the back saves bottle swaps, and we run the line, mount the outlet where the barbecue actually sits and check the regulator before you cook.
Compliance certificates
Every gas job finishes with the certificate handed over, lodged the way NSW law expects, so your paperwork is sorted before we leave, and it counts when you sell.
Gas lines in an old village and a new estate
Gas splits along the same line the suburb's plumbing does.
The village end.
The estates.
Either era, the first job on any call is working out which one we're standing in.
What gas fitting costs around here
Nobody books a gas fitter blind. You get the price in writing before a tool comes out, and the call out to your door costs nothing.
The figure depends on a few plain things:
Scope of the run
A single bayonet point is a short job with a short quote, while a full run from the supply to a cooktop, heater and BBQ adds metres, joints and hours.
Access in the house
Lines run through ceiling, wall cavity or trench, and a weatherboard cottage along Main Road can be easier to route than a newer home with hard tiled finishes everywhere.
What the job connects
Each appliance adds its own connection, testing and commissioning, so a run serving a cooktop and a hot water unit prices differently from one feeding a single new heater point.
Repairs versus new work
Tracking down a leak means testing the whole line, and repairs on old fittings can take longer than a fresh install because we won't leave a joint we don't trust.
How a gas job runs

Backed, no questions asked
If something isn't up to standard afterwards, we come back and make it right, no questions asked. That's the standard every Heddon Greta job is held to.
Related work around the house
Gas rarely sits on its own. A new cooktop connects to the kitchen plumbing job, a gas hot water changeover pairs with the hot water installation work, and if a suspected leak turns out to be water rather than gas, leak detection is the page for it.
For an urgent gas smell, the emergency plumbing hub explains how urgent calls are handled, or you can jump straight to the contact page.

Gas fitting questions we hear
Is gas fitting different from general plumbing?
Yes. Gas work needs its own licence on top of the plumbing ticket, and it covers lines, joints, appliances and the compliance paperwork that comes with every job.
Do I get a compliance certificate for gas work?
Every job that touches gas gets one. The certificate records the work was done by a licensed gas fitter and lodged the way NSW rules expect, which matters at sale time.
Can you run a gas line to my BBQ area?
We can. The pipe runs from your supply point out to a bayonet outlet beside the barbecue, pressure-tested end to end, so you stop swapping bottles and cook straight off the mains.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Shut the gas off at the meter if you can do that safely, open windows, keep flames and switches off, and call us straight away for an urgent leak test.
Can you convert my electric hot water to gas?
Yes. We run the supply line to the new unit, connect and commission it, and the hot water hub on this site covers system choices in far more detail.
Which nearby suburbs do you cover?
Cliftleigh, Buchanan, Kurri Kurri and Loxford all sit on our regular run, and gas jobs there get the same care as calls on the village streets and newer estates nearby.
