Gas appliances provide an effective source of heating, hot water and cooking when they are correctly installed and maintained. Because gas work carries serious safety responsibilities, installations, alterations and repairs must be completed by an appropriately licensed professional.
Bellamy Plumbing provides licensed gas fitting in Woolgoolga and surrounding Northern Beaches communities. We can assist with gas pipework, appliance connections, alterations, repairs and gas plumbing for new homes and renovations.
Whether you are installing a new gas cooktop, changing the layout of a kitchen or investigating a suspected gas problem, our team can assess the work and explain what is required.

Gas appliances must be connected in accordance with the applicable requirements and the manufacturer’s instructions. The available gas supply, pipe sizing, ventilation, clearances and appliance location all need to be considered.
Bellamy Plumbing can provide gas fitting connections for suitable appliances, including:
Before the installation, we may need to inspect the existing gas pipework and confirm that the supply is suitable for the proposed appliance.
Installation may also need to be coordinated with electricians, cabinetmakers or other trades. For example, a gas cooktop may still require an electrical connection for ignition, while cabinetry and benchtop clearances must suit the selected model.
Kitchen renovations often involve changing appliances or moving their location. A new gas cooktop may require the existing gas line to be altered, extended or upgraded.
Gas work should be planned before cabinetry and finished surfaces are installed. This gives the gas fitter the access needed to position the pipework and isolation points correctly.
Bellamy Plumbing can work with homeowners, builders and kitchen contractors to complete the gas plumbing required for the new layout.
We can also safely disconnect old appliances before renovation work begins and return to connect the new appliance when the surrounding area is ready.
New gas appliances may require additional or altered pipework. The pipe size must be suitable for the appliance load and the distance from the gas supply.
Simply extending an existing line without checking its capacity may result in poor appliance performance or an installation that does not meet requirements.
Our gas pipework services may include:
The scope of work will depend on the property’s current gas system and the type of appliance being installed.
Many properties outside reticulated natural gas areas use liquefied petroleum gas, commonly known as LPG.
LPG installations require suitable pipework, appliance settings, regulators and cylinder positioning. Appliances must be compatible with LPG or correctly converted where the manufacturer permits it.
Bellamy Plumbing has experience with LPG gas installations and can assist with pipework and appliance connections for suitable homes and properties.
Gas cylinders and associated equipment must be positioned with the required clearances from ignition sources, openings and property features. This should be considered early when planning a new LPG installation.
Gas hot water systems can provide efficient hot water for suitable households. Correct sizing and installation are important to ensure the system can meet expected demand.
Installing or replacing a gas hot water unit may require work to the gas supply, water pipework and flue or ventilation arrangement.
Bellamy Plumbing can assess the existing installation and complete the plumbing and gas fitting components required for a suitable replacement.
When choosing a new hot water system, consider household size, simultaneous use, available space, energy source and the capacity of the existing gas supply.
A gas leak can create a serious safety risk and should never be ignored.
Possible signs include:
Gas is intentionally given a noticeable odour so leaks can be detected. However, you should not rely only on smell because not everyone can detect it equally.
When you suspect a gas leak:
For a strong gas smell, an uncontrolled leak or immediate danger, leave the property and contact emergency services from a safe location.
Old gas appliances should be safely disconnected and the gas connection properly capped or prepared for replacement.
A disused gas point should not be left open or modified by an unlicensed person. Bellamy Plumbing can disconnect appliances during renovations, remove redundant connections where required and return to install the replacement appliance.
When replacing an appliance, the existing connection may not always suit the new model. Appliance specifications should be checked before installation so any required alterations can be identified.
Gas fitting is not a suitable do-it-yourself project. Incorrect work can lead to leaks, fire, carbon monoxide exposure or poor appliance operation.
Using a licensed gas fitter helps ensure:
You should also follow the appliance manufacturer’s servicing instructions and avoid operating an appliance that appears damaged or is not burning correctly.
