Right now
Smell gas at home? Get everyone outside first, then call a licensed gas fitter
Ring (02) 9072 0502 from outside the house, keep clear of the meter and any flame, while a licensed gas fitter heads over to find the leak, isolate it and prove the fitting tight.
Do this the moment you smell gas
Leave the property and call from outside
Do not flick switches or light flames
Turn the gas off at the meter
Why gas leaks surface in these homes
The gas faults here trace back to old fittings and constant renovation.
Renovations disturb old lines
Decades-old fittings and flues
Gentrifying blocks add appliances
How we make a gas leak safe
A gas leak is traced, not guessed at, so we work methodically from the meter to every appliance and confirm the whole line is tight before a flame goes near it again:
Trace the leak
Using an electronic gas detector and a soap-solution check along the runs, we walk the service from the meter through the fittings to each appliance until the exact point letting gas escape is pinned down.
Isolate the supply
The moment the source is clear, we shut the affected section at the nearest control valve, so the rest of the house can stay live where it is safe while the faulty run is opened up and worked on.
Test the fittings
A pressure gauge on the service shows whether the whole system holds or is still bleeding, and it catches the second, quieter leak that an ageing cottage pipe network can easily be hiding.
Certify and restore
With the faulty section repaired or renewed, we pressure test again, relight and check a gas hot water system and the other appliances, and hand back a service proven tight and safe to use.
From the Harrow Road corner to the backstreets
The kind of gas fault tends to follow the kind of building.
The period cottages
The strip and its kitchens
The newer apartments
Gas faults we get called to
Smell near the meter
A sulphur odour strongest by the meter usually means the regulator or an outdoor union has perished, which we confirm on the gauge and isolate straight away before tracing it to the exact fitting.
Odour by an appliance
A gas smell that follows a cooktop, heater or wall furnace often points to a loose connection or a cracked hose behind it, a fault we locate and renew so the appliance is safe to relight.
A pilot that keeps dropping
A pilot that will not stay lit can flag a worn thermocouple or a supply issue starving the burner, so we test the fitting rather than leave you relighting a flame that keeps dropping out.
Why a gas smell is never minor
Gas is the one fault where waiting carries a real risk to the house and everyone in it, so it earns an immediate, licensed response rather than a wait-and-see:
A build-up can ignite
Fumes are a health hazard
It is never a DIY fix
How it works
How we make your gas safe, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Trace, repair and re-prove
As soon as the price is set, we pinpoint the leak with a detector and pressure test, repair or renew the faulty section, and re-prove the whole service holds tight before the gas goes back on.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Bexley
When there is gas in the air, you want a licensed gas fitter who answers the phone and comes straight away.
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Bexley works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Suburbs we cover for gas call-outs
Leak call-outs run right across the neighbouring pockets, reaching Bexley North, Rockdale, Kingsgrove, Arncliffe and Banksia with detectors and test gear aboard, so a leak gets made safe on the spot rather than after a long drive.
Good questions, straight answers
Gas leak questions Bexley locals ask
Do you charge to come out to a suspected gas leak?
Nothing at all, the call out costs $0, so the leak is found, assessed and quoted at a fixed written price, owed only if you decide to go ahead.
Can you attend a gas leak after hours?
Yes, the smell of gas is never a wait-until-morning problem, so a licensed gas fitter stays reachable day or night to trace the leak and shut it down safely.
Why do gas leaks show up in renovated cottages?
When a period home is renovated, the old gas fittings behind a new kitchen or heater get disturbed, and a worn union can begin to seep where new work meets tired pipe.
Should I try to find the leak myself?
No, leave that to a licensed gas fitter with a detector and gauge, because hunting with a flame or a phone torch near a meter is exactly what turns a leak dangerous.
What do I do first if I smell gas?
Leave the property and call from outside, keep clear of switches and flames, and open a door on the way out so the gas can clear while help is coming.
Can you turn my gas back on once it is fixed?
Yes, after the repair we pressure test the whole service, re-prove every fitting holds and relight the appliances, so the gas returns only once the line is certified safe.
