Right now
The smell that changes everything, immediately
A gas odour is not a problem to watch and see about. It stops the household, clears the room and puts one question first: is everyone safe? We treat every reported smell as a genuine leak until testing proves otherwise, because that is the only responsible way to handle it.
What gas work looks like on this peninsula
- Old housing stock carries old gas runs Unrenovated Federation homes on the point often have gas lines installed generations ago, running under floors and through wall cavities alongside the corroded water services of the era, and those joints age just as hard.
- Interwar homes hide the infrastructure Double-brick construction means gas runs were chased into masonry or fed through tight cavities, so tracing and repairing a leak takes proper equipment, not guesswork.
- Appliance age matters as much as pipe age Old heaters and cooktops in these homes develop faulty connections and worn regulators, and they sit quietly in service for decades before anyone looks closely at them.
What we do when you call
- Emergency response A suspected gas leak gets our fastest possible response, because the risk is unlike any water fault, so we talk you through isolation over the phone, attend urgently, and make the whole situation safe first, before any repair discussion begins.
- Leak tracing Finding the exact source matters, because a smell can travel along a pipe from a joint metres away, so we put the line under pressure and use leak detection equipment rather than guessing where the fault actually sits, which saves repair time.
- Pipe repairs Older gas runs in Federation homes can corrode just like the water services, so we replace failed sections with modern materials, upgrade dated fittings and regulators, and leave the installation compliant, properly tested and ready for its compliance certificate.
- Appliance connections Cooktops, heaters and gas hot water units all need correct connection and regular checks, and a poorly fitted appliance is a common source of leaks, so we install, reconnect and test every appliance to the applicable Australian standard, then document it.
If the fault turns out to involve your hot water unit rather than the supply line, our gas hot water systems page covers repair and replacement options in full, and the leak detection team handles the tracing work on any concealed run.
The faults behind most gas calls
- Rotten egg smells Gas suppliers add an odour like rotten eggs deliberately, because the gas itself is scentless, so any such smell indoors, in the garden or near a meter is treated as a leak until a licensed plumber has safely tested and proved otherwise.
- Dying pilot lights A pilot light that keeps going out on a heater or hot water system suggests a faulty thermocouple or a gas supply problem, and repeated relighting without a proper check risks a slow, hidden leak developing unnoticed over time.
- Corroded old lines Decades-old gas runs under floorboards and through wall cavities can corrode quietly, especially near salt-exposed foreshore blocks, and the first sign is often a smell or a higher bill rather than anything you can see, which is why periodic checks matter.
Why acting fast matters: the real costs of waiting
Health and safety come first
Gas accumulation in an enclosed space is a genuine hazard, and the window between a smell and a dangerous situation can be short, so early isolation protects everyone under your roof.
Small leaks grow into big jobs
A weeping joint caught early is a straightforward repair, while a line left leaking corrodes further, damages surrounding materials and turns a minor repair into a section replacement.
Compliance stays on your side
Repairs done by a licensed gas fitter come with certificates that protect your insurance position and your paperwork trail, which matters at sale time and after any incident.
How it works
The repair process, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0504 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 and repair the leak
The line is tested under pressure, the fault is traced to its source with detection equipment, then the failed section of pipe, fitting or appliance connection is repaired or replaced and everything is re-tested before your gas supply is safely restored.
- 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 Greenwich
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 Greenwich 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 the gas response reaches
Our crews cover the whole peninsula and beyond, from the Federation streets near the point to the apartment blocks toward St Leonards, and we regularly work across Northwood, Wollstonecraft, St Leonards, Longueville and Waverton, bringing the same licensed gas response to every one of them.
Good questions, straight answers
Gas leak questions locals ask us
What should I do the moment I smell gas?
Open the windows, avoid switches and flames, turn the gas off at the meter if you can reach it safely, leave the house and call us from outside for urgent attendance.
Are older homes more prone to gas leaks?
Yes, unrenovated Federation and interwar homes here often carry decades-old gas runs installed alongside original galvanised water services, and those ageing joints and fittings are exactly where leaks tend to develop.
Is it safe to relight a pilot light myself?
One relight after a single outage is reasonable, but a pilot that repeatedly goes out signals a fault needing diagnosis, so stop relighting and have a licensed plumber test the appliance.
Do you handle gas hot water systems as well?
We do, covering repairs, replacements and new gas system installations, and if a suspected leak involves the hot water unit we make it safe and fix it under one fixed price.
What does a gas leak repair cost?
Every job receives a fixed written price before any work begins, the call out fee is $0, and you approve the quote first, so there are no hourly surprises.
Are your plumbers licensed for gas work?
Every plumber on the team holds the appropriate gas fitting authorisation, works under licence #275278C with full insurance, and supplies the compliance certificates your paperwork trail needs with the invoice.
