Gas Plumbing in Mandurah: Safety, Compliance and Who to Call

Gas work in WA is licensed work. Only a licensed gas fitter can legally install, repair, or test gas appliances and fittings in your Mandurah home or business. Unlicensed gas work isn’t just illegal — it’s genuinely dangerous.

Is DIY gas work legal in WA?

No. In Western Australia, all gas fitting work — including connecting new appliances — must be performed by a licensed gas fitter. This includes connecting a new BBQ to a fixed gas outlet, connecting a new gas cooktop, and any work on hot water systems or heaters. The penalty for unlicensed gas work is significant, and insurance policies are voided by DIY gas installations.

FAQs about gas plumbing in Mandurah

How do I know if I have a gas leak?

The most obvious sign is the smell of mercaptan — the additive that gives natural gas its distinctive sulphur or “rotten egg” odour. Other signs include dead or discoloured plants near gas lines, a hissing sound from gas appliances, and higher-than-usual gas bills.

Do I need a certificate for a new gas appliance in Mandurah?

Yes. In WA, your licensed gas fitter should provide you with a compliance certificate after any gas installation or significant repair. Keep this certificate — you’ll need it if you sell the property.

Can you connect a gas BBQ to my outdoor gas point?

Yes. Connecting a gas appliance to a fixed gas outlet requires a licensed gas fitter in WA. We carry the required flexible connections and regulators and can connect your BBQ same-day in most cases.
