Sydney gas leak specialists

The licensed gas fitters Sydney calls when it smells gas

Gas is not a job for a general handyman. Every gas leak we attend is handled by a licensed gas fitter carrying electronic leak detection gear, a calibrated manometer, and the fittings to make your property safe on the first visit; not booked back for next week.

From a rotten-egg smell in a Newtown terrace at 2am to a failed meter test on a Mosman renovation, our family-run Sydney crew has traced, isolated and repaired gas leaks in homes, cafes and commercial kitchens since 2010. Every job starts by making the property safe, ends with a pressure test and a Certificate of Compliance, and never leaves a live gas fault behind.

Hi there. Do you have a gas leak or a gas concern?

If you can smell gas right now, leave the building and call 000, then call us. Otherwise, tell us what’s happening and a licensed Sydney gas fitter will tailor the response to you.

If you smell gas, do this now

Smell gas? Follow these 4 steps before anything else

Natural gas is dosed with mercaptan (that rotten-egg smell) so you can detect a leak. If you can smell it, treat it as an emergency and work through these steps in order; then call a licensed gas fitter.

Before vs After

What changes when a licensed gas fitter handles the leak?

Gas work is one of the few trades where a mistake can be fatal; in NSW it is illegal for anyone but a licensed gas fitter to carry it out. Here is exactly what shifts when a licensed Sydney gas fitter handles the leak instead of a handyman or a DIY attempt.

Before

Handyman, DIY or “mate who does gas”

  • The visible symptom has no confirmed source
  • A repair is chosen before the cause is checked
  • Access or price changes are left unexplained
  • The same symptom returns without further testing
  • There is no clear handover record

After

Licensed Fixed Today gas fitter

  • The fault is checked with a suitable diagnostic method
  • The likely cause and repair options are explained
  • The scope and price are approved before paid work
  • The result is tested before handover
  • Relevant invoice, warranty and compliance records are supplied
What you’ll actually get

The exact thread you’ll see on an emergency gas callout

No marketing fluff. Every emergency gas customer gets a thread like this; logged, fitter assigned, ETA, vehicle ID, knock at the door. When gas is involved, you always know exactly who is coming and when.

  1. Logged

    A licensed gas fitter assigned, in writing.

    Your fitter’s name, vehicle and ETA confirmed by SMS within minutes of the call; and safety instructions while they drive. Not a queue, not a callback.

  2. Guided

    We keep you safe until we arrive.

    We confirm you’re out of the building, talk you through isolating the meter if it’s safe, and stay on the line if the smell is strong. Your safety comes before the repair.

  3. Warned

    5-minute heads-up at the door.

    We text when the gas fitter is 5 minutes away, including vehicle and plate, so you know who’s knocking before you approach the property.

  4. Made safe

    Nothing left live.

    We do not leave until the leak is located, the installation is pressure-tested tight, and every appliance is safe; or the supply is isolated and clearly tagged.

On-Time, Live

We turn up when we say we will; here is the proof

Every gas job we attended today, with the booked window, the actual arrival time, and whether we hit it. We publish the misses too; and waive the call-out fee when we cause one.

The honest comparison

What other gas trades won’t tell you.

Side-by-side with what most homeowners actually get when they call around for gas leak work; no spin, no fine print. Just what we include as standard, and what tends to quietly get skipped elsewhere when the pressure is on to “just stop the smell”.

How It Works

What happens when you call us about gas in Sydney?

Whether it’s a 2am gas smell, a failed meter test before settlement, or a commercial kitchen shut down by a leak, the process is the same: make it safe, find it, prove it’s fixed. Here is exactly what to expect.

Step 01
Step 01

Tell us what you can smell or see

Where the smell is strongest, whether it’s near an appliance or the meter, and whether you hear hissing. We use this to triage urgency and load the right detection and repair gear before we leave.

Booking Recorded

Visit details confirmed

Contact method Confirmed
Address checked
Access notes Added
Step 02
Step 02

Licensed gas fitter arrives and makes it safe

First priority on arrival is safety: isolate the supply where needed, ventilate, and confirm the property is safe to work in before any diagnosis begins.

On-site Assessment

Fault checked in context

Symptoms checked
Likely cause explained
Options As needed
Step 03
Step 03

We locate the leak, not just the smell

Using an electronic gas detector, leak-detection fluid on joints, and a manometer to measure pressure drop across the installation, we pinpoint the exact source; a fitting, an appliance connection, a corroded line or the meter.

Scope and Price

Confirmed before repair

Repair scope Written
Fixed price Confirmed
Approval Required
Step 04
Step 04

We repair the fault with approved fittings to AS/NZS 5601, re-test the whole installation until it holds pressure, safely re-commission your appliances, and issue a Certificate of Compliance before we leave.

Why licensing matters

Licensed plumber vs. unlicensed worker

Plumbing work in NSW must be carried out by a licensed plumber. It is not just a formality, licensing protects your home, your insurance, and your right to recourse if something goes wrong.

Licensed plumber

What you get

  • Work is insured and meets the National Plumbing Code
  • Compliance Certificate issued for every job
  • Home insurance and warranty stay valid
  • Statutory warranty backed by NSW Fair Trading
  • Clear path to dispute resolution if needed
Unlicensed worker

What you risk

  • Work may breach the NSW Plumbing and Drainage Act
  • No Compliance Certificate: issues at resale
  • Home insurance claims commonly denied
  • No statutory warranty on the work performed
  • Limited recourse: Fair Trading cannot assist
Our NSW Plumbing Licence 236784C Fixed Today Plumbing Pty Ltd

Most home insurance policies will not pay out for damage caused by unlicensed plumbing work. A burst hot water unit from a non-compliant install can void cover on the entire claim, often tens of thousands of dollars.

A gas leak is frightening; the relief when it’s found and fixed is real. These are genuine customers; emergency callouts, failed meter tests, dodgy appliances; telling you what the experience was actually like.

Had a gas fitting job that two other plumbers quoted differently on. Fixed Today explained exactly what was needed, showed me the compliance requirements, and completed the work with full documentation. Very impressed with the professionalism.

Gas Fitting Chatswood
Samantha Wright Facebook
★★★★★

Needed a gas cooktop installed during our kitchen reno. Fixed Today handled all the gas compliance paperwork, coordinated with our builder, and installed everything to code. The follow-up safety check was a nice touch. Really thorough service.

Gas Fitting Rhodes
Angela Kowalski Trustpilot
★★★★★

Fixed Today replaced our old gas hot water system with a new continuous flow unit. The technician explained all the options, helped us choose the right size for our household, and completed the install in half a day. Clean, professional, and the pricing matched the quote exactly.

Hot Water Castle Hill
Chris O’Brien Yelp
★★★★☆

Solid work on our kitchen mixer tap replacement. The plumber suggested a better quality tap than what I originally picked and it’s been great. Fair pricing and tidy workmanship. Would recommend to neighbours.

Leaking Taps Mosman
Mark Henderson Facebook
★★★★☆

Good honest service. The plumber was upfront about what needed fixing versus what could wait. Appreciated that they didn’t try to upsell. Job was completed quickly and cleanly. Only reason for 4 stars is the initial wait time was a bit longer than quoted.

Leaking Taps Newtown
Ryan Patel Trustpilot
★★★★★

Called about a running toilet that was wasting water. They sent someone the same afternoon and it was sorted within an hour. Flat rate pricing, no call-out fee, and the plumber was friendly and knowledgeable. Exactly the kind of service you want.
