We're the same crew that covers Woody Point's taps and drains, from the mid-century cottages near the old jetty to the unit blocks above the bay. Here's what a gas fitter in Woody Point covers, what shapes the price, and which licences and certificates the rules ask for.
What Gas Fitting Work Covers
Gas fitting is installing, removing, altering, repairing, servicing, testing or certifying a gas system, including every pipe and connection in it. That definition comes from the Queensland Government's gas safety guidance, and it sets the boundaries of the trade.
Queensland homes run on two fuel gases. One comes in under the street as natural gas; the other is LPG, stored on the property in cylinders or a bulk tank. The same licensed trade handles both.
Three points worth knowing before you book:
One licence class owns the lot
The state reserves every task on that list for licensed gasfitters, so nobody without that credential may legally touch a gas line.
Servicing is gas work too
Cookers and barbecues need periodic checks from a licensed gasfitter, and always use to the manufacturer's instructions.
A gas water heater
is a gas appliance as well, so some visits overlap plumbing: the water heating page carries that side.
That range suits this headland well. Cottages from the mid-century decades and the later unit blocks both carry appliances worth a service, and a cottage off Kate Street books the same trade as a unit above the water.
Why Gas Quotes Differ From Job to Job
Gas quotes move on the type of job, access to the pipework, the number of gas points, and a supply check when the job needs one. A fixed quote settles your price before any work starts, so those variables stay on paper rather than on the bill.
What each driver looks like from the ridge down to the water:
The job type
A like-for-like swap on a cooktop is a different exercise from running a fresh line to a new position.
Access
Streets fall from the ridge toward the foreshore, and a cottage on Georgina Street or a home off Oxley Avenue can hide a gas run behind old floors or tight masonry, which adds time on the tools.
Gas points
Every extra point brings extra pipe and extra test time with it, so a bigger system quotes longer.
The supply check
Before adding a new system or an extra appliance, your gasfitter checks the supply has enough behind it. That covers the vaporisation rate on an LPG setup, the meter's capacity, and the pipe sizing.
Whichever way those four land, you see the figure in writing first, and the work only starts once you approve it.
How to Check a Gas Fitter's Licence
Gas work in Queensland belongs to licensed gasfitters alone, and no other credential covers it. That's the law, not a preference of ours.
Before anyone touches a gas line at your place, ask them to show you the gas work licence ahead of any tools coming out. The state's own safety advice says exactly that, and any tradesperson worth booking carries it ready to show.
Plumbing runs on different paperwork. A plumber holds an occupational licence for the work itself, plus a contractor licence to run it as a business, and the QBCC grants both.
Anyone can check any of it. The QBCC's online registers show whether a licence is current and what notifiable work has been recorded against an address.
The Gas Compliance Certificate After Installation
A gas system compliance certificate states that a new gas installation, or an alteration to one, complies with the rules. The licence holder hands it to the owner the moment the job wraps.
Two details finish the picture:
A copy goes elsewhere
Where fuel gas comes through a distribution network, the network operator also gets its copy, inside five days.
Not every visit earns one
Installs and alterations carry the certificate; a straightforward repair or a periodic service does not.
Gas Work We Handle Around the Headland
The gas side of our catalogue sorts into three usual jobs, each with a page of its own.
New cooktops and appliances
A new appliance starts with the supply, not the fit-off:
- The gas cooktop installation page covers new lines, connections and clearances.
Certificates and plates
The paperwork follows every install and alteration:
- The gas compliance certificates page answers who receives what, and when.

Gas Fitting Questions Woody Point Locals Ask
Call (07) 3523 7172What does a gas fitter actually do at a home?
A gas fitter installs, repairs, services and tests gas systems, their pipework and their connections, then signs off finished installs with the paperwork. Booking one for a periodic appliance check counts as gas work too, not just new lines.
Are plumbers and gas fitters the same trade?
No, they are separate licences. Gas work sits on its own credential, so a plumber needs that one before touching a gas line. Ask which licence your tradesperson holds before anything starts.
Who receives the gas compliance certificate?
You do, as the owner of the Woody Point home. Your gasfitter hands you the original the moment an installation or alteration wraps. Where a network supplies the gas, the operator also gets its copy, inside five days.
Should I call a gas fitter or my gas supplier for a leak?
A gas smell means heading outside and phoning from out there. The supplier's emergency line is printed on your gas bill for faults with the supply. Once the site is safe, the repair on your side of the meter is work for a licensed gasfitter.
Are your gas fitters licensed for gas work in Woody Point?
Yes, Woody Point Plumbing Services is licensed and insured, and every job is done by a licensed plumber with gasfitting on the licence. Ask to sight our gas work licence before we start, exactly as the government advises.
Do the gas work rules cover both natural gas and LPG?
Yes, Queensland's gas safety guidance treats both alike: gas arriving by a street main, and LPG kept on site, in cylinders or in a tank. One licensed trade handles either fuel.
