Hobs, geysers, repairs and certificates make up most of the work.
Send your street, the appliance and whether there is already gas at the property.

In a complex, the cylinder position is usually the constraint rather than the appliance. Have the position confirmed before budgeting the rest, because it determines both what is possible and how long the pipe run is.
Ranges are for sanity-checking. Quotes are for deciding.

- Boundary clearances bind first. In a tight development the neighbouring wall and windows usually decide the cylinder position.
- Get the body corporate involved. A scheme-wide position and cage standard is cheaper and tidier than owners solving it individually.
- Galvanised on the coast. Cages and brackets in coated mild steel will not last here.
- Certify complex units together. R450 to R1,200 per unit in one attendance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I have gas in a West Beach complex unit?
Usually, subject to a compliant cylinder position and the body corporate's rules. In tight developments the boundary clearances are what determine the position.
How much does a cylinder cage cost here?
R5,500 to R14,000 galvanised, which is the specification worth using this close to the sea. Per-unit cages in a complex scheme run R3,500 to R9,000 each.
Why does my regulator keep failing?
Salt. On an exposed coastal position two to four years is realistic, and it is one of the most common findings on an inspection here.
Can the whole complex be certified at once?
Yes, typically R450 to R1,200 per unit in one attendance rather than a full call-out and certificate each.
How much is a gas hob installation?
R1,600 to R3,200 where gas already exists and R4,500 to R9,500 for a new supply, excluding the hob.
Does a body corporate have to approve a cylinder?
Generally yes. Check the conduct rules before spending anything, and ask whether a designated position already exists.
