Gas Leak Repairs
We shut the gas off, trace the gas to its source, repair or replace the failed fitting or pipe length, then pressure-test the line before it all goes back on.

Get Safe Before Anything Else
Smell gas right now? Work through this list in order, and nothing else:
Get everyone out
People and pets, straight through the door, and leave the doors open behind you if you can.
Nothing that sparks
No light switches, no power points, no fans, and no flames or cigarettes anywhere near the house.
Leave the hunt to us
Never go looking for a gas leak yourself. Ring (07) 3067 4276 from the footpath and tell us where the smell is strongest.
Once you are out, we take it from there.
What a Gas Leak Usually Is
Most gas faults turn out to sit at the small end of this list, and plenty of them are fixed in a single visit.
- A worn washer or thread seal at an appliance connection, often a same-visit repair.
- A cracked or perished hose on a heater or barbecue, replaced on the spot.
- A corroded pipe length, more common on fittings that have spent years outdoors.
- A fault at the gas meter or regulator set, which we isolate before anything else.
- A split in a buried line, the biggest job, traced and quoted before any digging.
What You Can Check Safely
Two things are safe to check, and both stay outdoors.
The strength of the smell
Suppliers add a sulphur compound to gas on purpose, so a faint whiff deserves the same respect as a strong one.
Soapy water on a bottle connection
Brushed over the valve and hose outdoors, away from flames, it bubbles where gas is getting out.
Past that, hands off. Gas repairs are licensed work, and the licence we hold under QBCC No: 15024607 covers them.
When to Call
Any gas odour is a call-now situation, not a wait-and-see one. Ring (07) 3067 4276 once everyone is safely out, and let us know the spot where the odour is strongest.
Some calls that arrive as gas smells turn out to be drainage trouble instead, and a blocked sewer line can push its own odour into the house. Our blocked sewer page covers that side of it, and we will tell you honestly which one you have.
Gas Work on the Foothills
Acreage changes the response
This is mostly rural-residential blocks across the D'Aguilar Range foothills, so meters, bottles and outdoor connections often sit a long way from the house, and the walk out past a long driveway is part of the job.
Winter works the heaters hard
These hills run cooler on winter nights than the coastal plain, so gas heaters and their hoses, bayonets and valves cop months of solid use each year, and the first cold spell is when the faults show.
Fire season earns a check
The 2014 bushfire came close enough to threaten homes along Clear Mountain Road and Winn Road, so gas bottles, meter surrounds and outdoor connections near the bush deserve a look before each summer.
What We Do
Our gas leak work covers the full line, from the meter to the appliance:
Gas Appliance Repairs
Heaters, cooktops, ovens and water heaters that smell, underperform or shut down get properly serviced, with faulty gas valves, hoses and bayonet connections replaced wherever the fault calls for it.
Gas Line Installations
New bayonet points, extended lines and connections for heaters or barbecues are quoted as fixed prices in writing before anyone picks up a single tool or digs a trench outdoors.
Meter and Regulator Faults
Faults at the meter or the regulator get isolated and made safe first, then repaired or referred on depending on which side of the connection they sit.

Common Gas Problems We Find
The Barbecue Bottle
Bottle valves and hoses perish out in the sun, and a simple soapy-water bubble test at the bottle connection catches most of them long before anyone lights the first burner.
The Heater Hose
Cracked hoses and worn bayonet fittings on portable gas heaters are the most common winter call we take, and both are quick replacements we can carry out on the spot.
The Cooktop Connection
Thread seals at fixed appliances slowly give up after years of heating and cooling, and a faint smell near the stove points to a fitting rather than the appliance itself.
The Buried Line
A corroded or damaged buried gas line is the big one of gas faults, and we trace its path and quote the repair in writing before any digging starts anywhere.
Why a Fast Response Matters
Gas does not forgive a delay, and the reasons stack up quickly:
A leak grows
What could have been a washer this morning can become a build-up by tonight, so the call goes in while the smell is still faint.
Carbon monoxide rides along
Faulty gas appliances can produce it, and a heater that smells or burns poorly gets checked, not just deodorised.
Repairs beat replacements when they can
Most gas faults we find are fittings, hoses and seals, which means a repair visit, not a new appliance, and the fixed quote shows which.

Gas Leak Questions Answered
Call (07) 3067 4276What does a gas leak smell like around a Cashmere home?
A sulphur compound is mixed into natural gas on purpose, so any rotten-egg odour indoors or beside the house means head straight outside and phone us from the footpath.
Can I test a BBQ bottle connection myself at my Cashmere place?
Yes, soapy water brushed over the bottle valve and hose will show bubbles where gas escapes, but only ever do this outdoors away from flames, and tell us what you find.
Should I turn off the gas meter at my Cashmere property before calling?
Yes, if the meter sits on your way out, turn the valve a quarter turn so the handle lies across the pipe, then ring (07) 3067 4276 from the footpath rather than the house.
Does a gas leak always smell strong on acreage blocks in Cashmere?
No, because wind across an open acreage yard thins the smell quickly, so a faint whiff near the heater or the gas bottle deserves the same response as a strong odour.
Is a gas smell in Cashmere something to call about at night?
Yes, treat any gas odour as an emergency whatever the clock says, because the danger keeps no schedule, so get everyone outside first and ring (07) 3067 4276 straight away rather than waiting for daylight.
How do I book an emergency gas fitter in Cashmere?
Call (07) 3067 4276, say where in Cashmere the smell is and how strong it is, and we will talk you through staying safe while a licensed gas fitter heads your way.
