Gas Installers Flamingo Vlei work a settled family-housing area a short way back from the beachfront, which means most of the coastal corrosion issues apply but slightly less severely than in Bloubergstrand.
Hobs, geysers, braai points and certificates make up nearly all of the enquiries.
Send your street, the appliance and whether there is already gas at the property.

A Street Back From the Worst of It
- Corrosion is real but slower here. Galvanised external hardware is still the right call; the replacement interval is just longer than on the beachfront.
- Family-home appliance lists. Hob, geyser and braai on one bank is the common pattern, so size for it rather than for the first appliance.
- Two 48kg on changeover once a geyser is involved.
- Service in spring. The whole West Coast books out for geysers from May.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is corrosion as bad here as in Bloubergstrand?
Less severe, being set back from the beachfront, but present. Galvanised external hardware is still the sensible specification and regulators have a shorter life than inland.
How much does a hob, geyser and braai installation cost?
A three to four appliance system typically runs R18,000 to R38,000 excluding the appliances, including a shared cylinder bank.
How many cylinders will I need?
Two 48kg on automatic changeover once a geyser is on the system. A hob alone is comfortable on 19kg.
When should I service the gas geyser?
Every 18 to 24 months, and book it in spring rather than joining the winter queue. R850 to R1,900 for a standard service.
Can a braai point be added later?
Yes, R3,500 to R9,000 branched off a spine with capacity. Rough it in during the main install if you can, because a capped point costs a fraction of a retrofit.
What does a gas CoC cost?
R950 to R2,200 for a single appliance and R1,600 to R3,800 for a multi-point installation.
