A century of appliances leaves a century of connections

Renovating an older house turns things up. A capped pipe behind a chimney breast, a point in the skirting where a heater used to sit, a stub in a kitchen wall that predates every appliance anybody living there remembers.

None of that is alarming and none of it is unusual. Appliances arrive and leave over a hundred years, and not every departure was followed by a proper decommissioning. Taking an appliance off a point and making that point safe are two separate jobs, and only one of them always gets done.

Which is why the rule is simple. Do not assume an old connection is dead, and do not open a wall around one on the strength of it looking abandoned. It gets tested.

Making it safe properly is licensed work and it gets certified like anything else. That certificate is what tells the next owner, and the next insurer, that somebody qualified actually dealt with it rather than that it was tidied out of sight.

Gas work in Croydon

Old points are common and not sinister

A hundred years of appliances leaves connections behind in walls and skirtings.

It is ordinary. It simply has to be tested rather than assumed.

Removal and decommissioning are different

Taking an appliance off is not the same as making the connection safe.

Only one of those two is always done, which is why the other gets checked.

Capping is licensed work

Not a job for whoever happens to be on site during a renovation.

And it carries a certificate, like every other gas job.

Everything shares one supply

Adding an appliance is a calculation against total demand rather than a connection.

The line and the meter both have limits.

Keep the certificate

It gets asked for at claim time and at sale, sometimes many years later.

Reconstructing one after the fact is a problem worth avoiding.

Step 01
Booking a gas fitting job in Croydon

We ask what has turned up

What is connected, what you want done, and whether anything unexpected has appeared behind a wall.

Testing an old gas connection in Croydon

Tested on site

Any old connection gets tested rather than assumed dead, before anybody works around it.

Step 03
Capping a redundant gas point in Croydon

Installed or made safe

Fitted to the Australian Standards, or properly decommissioned and capped where that is what the job needs.

Step 04
Handing over a gas compliance certificate in Croydon

Certified on the spot

The Certificate of Compliance in your hand before we leave, including for a decommissioning.

Can you smell gas right now?

Get outside, leave the switches alone, and ring. A licensed gas fitter can be on the way immediately.

Gas fitting questions.

What Croydon locals ask us before booking a plumber.

Ask us yours Licensed plumbing van covering Croydon and the surrounding suburbs
We found an old gas point behind the wall. What now?

Do not touch it and do not assume it is dead. A point that has had an appliance taken off it may still be live, because removing an appliance and decommissioning a connection are two different jobs, and only one of them is always done. It gets tested rather than guessed at.

Is capping a line really licensed work?

Yes. Disconnecting and making safe is gas work, and it belongs to a licensed gas fitter rather than to whoever is on site with a set of spanners. It is also certified like anything else, which is the record that it was done properly.

Why does this come up so much in older houses?

Because a century of housing means a century of appliances arriving and leaving. Heaters removed, cookers changed, a point left in a wall that was later plastered over. None of it is unusual, and none of it is a reason for alarm. It is a reason to test before anybody opens a wall around it.

Can I add a cooktop to the gas I already have?

Usually, and it is a calculation rather than a yes or no. Everything in the property draws on the same supply, so the answer depends on total demand against what the line and meter can deliver.

Do I get a compliance certificate?

Yes, on every gas job, and on the day rather than in the post. Keep it with the property papers, because insurers ask for it after an incident and conveyancers ask for it at sale.

I can smell gas. What do I do?

Everyone outside first. No light switches, nothing electrical, no phone used indoors. Turn the supply off at the meter only if you can reach it safely, then ring from outside.

What does gas work cost in Croydon?

An appliance connection is $200 to $500. A new gas point is $500 to $1,200 depending on the run. Decommissioning and capping a redundant point is $180 to $400. A leak test and certificate is $180 to $350.
