Every job is done by a licensed plumber, and the gas licence sits on top of the plumbing one. We work across the suburb and its neighbours, from heritage shopfronts to tower kitchens.
Start with our Fortitude Valley overview for the full range of plumbing we do. This page sticks to gas: what the work covers, what shapes the price, and the paperwork that follows an install.
From the Meter or Cylinder to the Appliance
Gas work covers the whole chain between your supply and the appliance: installing, removing, altering, repairing, servicing, testing or certifying a system, plus every pipe and connection along the way. Queensland treats all of it as licensed work, whoever owns the building.
Two fuel gases feed homes here: natural gas arriving through a mains pipe, and LPG kept in cylinders. The same rules apply to both, and the same licence covers both.
Servicing counts too. Cookers, barbecues and similar appliances deserve a regular service from a licensed gasfitter, and each one goes in and runs the way the maker specifies. Hot water units on gas follow the same idea, and our hot water plumbing page covers that side of the trade.
The jobs come in a few familiar shapes around the Valley. A smell of gas never waits, and our gas leak repairs page covers what to do first.
New cooktops connect through gas cooktop installation. Outdoor heaters and barbecues run off a gas bayonet point, which we fit and certify.
Valley Fiesta weekends and BIGSOUND week load venue kitchens and amenities hard, so cooktops and bayonet heaters around the Empire Hotel get a heavy workout between sets. Appliance servicing after a big season is gas work the same as a fresh install.
Why Gas Quotes Differ From Job to Job
Four things set a gas price: the job itself, how hard the pipework is to get at, how many gas points exist, and whether the supply needs proving. A fixed quote locks the figure before we begin, so you approve the whole scope up front.
Each point adds pipe, joints and testing time. A single bayonet behind a wall costs less than a three-point run across a kitchen and an alfresco area.
Access moves the price more than people expect. A cooktop swap in a Robertson Street conversion takes longer than the same job in a new tower kitchen. Heritage pipe runs thread through walls never drawn for plumbing, while a tower has a straight service zone.
The supply check matters whenever an extra appliance joins the system. The fitter weighs how much gas the cylinders can vaporise, whether the meter has capacity to spare, and whether the existing pipes suit the added draw. Cutting that step short is how appliances end up starved of gas.
Plumbers, Gas Fitters and Their Licences
No one without a gas licence may legally work on your gas system. Ask the fitter to show that licence before any tools come out, exactly as the Queensland Government advises.
Plumbing and drainage runs on its own paperwork. A tradesperson needs an occupational licence to do the work, and a contractor licence on top to take jobs on commercially. The QBCC issues both.
Checking takes minutes. The QBCC keeps online registers where you can confirm a licence and see whether a Form 4 has been lodged for your address. A plumber who hesitates at that request has told you something useful.
The Gas Compliance Certificate After Installation
A gas system compliance certificate certifies that the gas installation or alteration just completed is compliant. The licence holder gives the original to the owner as soon as the job is finished, which the rules call immediately on completion.
Where your gas comes off a street network, the network operator gets a copy inside five days. You keep the original with your property papers.
The certificate belongs to new installs and alterations only. A routine service or a repair does not end with one, so do not expect paperwork after every visit.

Gas Questions From Around the Valley
Call (07) 3523 6484Are plumbers and gas fitters the same thing?
No, the two trades are not the same. A plumber can hold both licences, but gas work needs a gas licence of its own. Ask which licence your tradie carries before the job begins, because water skills do not cover gas.
How do I check a gas fitter's licence in Fortitude Valley?
Get the licence out in the open before work starts, and any fitter worth hiring will show it happily. For plumbing and drainage, the QBCC's online registers confirm a licence and show whether a Form 4 has been lodged for your address.
What certificate follows a new gas installation?
A gas system compliance certificate. The fitter gives you the original as soon as an installation or alteration is finished, certifying the work meets the standard. If your gas comes off a street network, the operator is sent a copy within five days.
How much does a gas fitter cost in Fortitude Valley?
The job type, how hard the pipes are to get at, the count of gas points and any supply check drive the figure. A fixed quote sets the price before work starts, so you approve it before we begin.
Does a new gas appliance need a supply check first?
Yes, the supply gets checked before anything new is fitted. The fitter confirms how much gas the bottles can vaporise, whether the meter can carry the extra load, and whether the pipes are sized for the added draw. Only then does the install go ahead.
Are your gas fitters licensed for gas work?
Yes, our gas fitters are licensed for gas work. We are licensed and insured, and every job is done by a licensed plumber. Ask us about the gas credentials before we start and we will walk you through them.
