Gas Installers Durbanville deal with more new-build and estate work than any other Northern Suburb. A large share of the housing here was handed over with gas points already roughed in, which changes the job from an installation to an activation.
Multi-point systems running a hob, geyser, fireplace and braai off one bank are close to standard in the newer developments.
A photograph of the kitchen and of where the cylinder could stand is most of the quote.

- Developers rough in gas points. Behind kitchen units, at the braai area, and sometimes at the fireplace position. Activating one costs R2,800 to R6,500 rather than the R4,500 to R9,500 of a full new installation.
- Estate contractor booking. Most of the Durbanville estates require it and some restrict working hours, which affects how an installer prices the day.
- Size for the finished house. If the plan is eventually hob, geyser, fireplace and braai, size the bank and the spine now and cap the points you are not using.
- Inland, so hardware lasts. Corrosion is a minor factor here compared with the coast.

Before accepting a quote for a full new installation, have someone check behind the kitchen units for a capped point. On a newer Durbanville house it is more likely than not, and it roughly halves the cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does my Durbanville house have a capped gas point?
Many newer estate homes do, typically behind the kitchen units and sometimes at the braai area. It is worth having checked before paying for a full installation, because activating an existing point runs R2,800 to R6,500.
How much does a multi-point installation cost in Durbanville?
R22,000 to R45,000 for four appliances excluding the appliances themselves. Where the developer roughed in the spine, considerably less.
Can installers work inside the estates?
Yes, with contractor booking through the estate office. Mention which estate when you request quotes, because access rules and permitted hours affect the pricing.
Should I install everything at once?
Not necessarily, but size the cylinder bank and the main run for the finished system and cap the points you are not using. Retrofitting capacity into a finished house is far more expensive.
Do capped points appear on the certificate?
Yes. Every point on the installation, connected or capped, forms part of what is certified, so tell the installer where they are.
How long does an activation take?
Usually half a day, assuming the existing pipework passes a pressure test. If it does not, the remedial work is quoted before the certificate is issued.
