Gas Installers Dunoon work in one of the densest residential areas in the metro, much of it multi-storey backyard rental accommodation. That density makes cylinder positioning and storage the most important practical question here.
Landlords with rental rooms, shops and takeaways account for a large share of the fixed installation and certificate work.
Send your street, the appliance and whether there is already gas at the property.

- Shared yards need a designated cylinder position. Cylinders scattered across a yard, or stored in rooms, is the arrangement that causes problems.
- Ventilation is non-negotiable in small rooms. Never run gas in a sealed space, and never sleep with an appliance burning.
- A caged, ventilated store solves two things at once: security and safe placement, at R3,500 to R9,000.
- Landlords carry real exposure. Where appliances are fixed to the building, a current certificate is what an insurer will ask for.

Landlords should ask for the whole property priced as one job. Certifying several rooms in one attendance costs materially less than booking separate visits, and it gives you one document to hand an insurer.
Ranges are for sanity-checking. Quotes are for deciding.
Get Gas Installer QuotesNever accept a cylinder that has been decanted from another one. It is illegal, usually overfilled and the valve is often damaged. Exchange at a licensed supplier, check the hose each time you connect, and keep the room ventilated while the appliance is burning.

Frequently Asked Questions
I rent out rooms, do I need a gas certificate?
Where gas appliances are fixed to the building, insurers commonly expect a current certificate and it is prudent regardless. Where tenants use their own portable cylinders, that is not a fixed installation.
Where should cylinders be stored on a shared property?
Outside, upright, secured and ventilated, in a designated position clear of doors, windows and drains. A ventilated cage at R3,500 to R9,000 is the usual way to do it.
Can cylinders be kept inside a rented room?
A cylinder in use with adequate ventilation is one thing; spares stored indoors are the single most common avoidable hazard. Keep spares outside.
Can several rooms be certified at once?
Yes, and it is much cheaper than separate visits. Ask for the property priced as one job.
What does it cost to certify a small shop?
R2,500 to R6,500 for a premises with two or three fixed appliances.
How do I check a hose is safe?
Look for cracking, stiffness or perishing near the ends. Replace it rather than taping it; a hose and regulator is R250 to R750.
