Gas Installers Woodstock split their time between the food trade and the residential stock. The restaurant, dark kitchen and warehouse-conversion scene here generates a disproportionate share of the commercial gas work in the city.
Alongside it sits older housing with the same inherited-installation problems as neighbouring Observatory.
Send your street, the appliance and whether there is already gas at the property.

- Establish who owns which part of the installation. On a multi-tenant kitchen site, a common supply with sub-isolated branches per tenant keeps responsibility clear.
- Meter where consumption is recharged. Otherwise the apportionment argument arrives with the first invoice.
- Certify tenant installations separately from the landlord's supply infrastructure, so one tenant's renewal does not depend on another's.
- Warehouse conversions need gas designed in early. Retrofitting reticulation and an extract interlock into a finished fit-out costs several times what designing it in does.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is gas shared between tenants in a dark kitchen?
Usually a common supply with a sub-isolated and often metered branch per tenant, with each tenant's installation certified separately from the landlord's supply. Sorting that out at design stage avoids an argument at every renewal.
What does a Woodstock restaurant gas fit-out cost?
A coffee shop or small kitchen typically runs R35,000 to R90,000 and a full restaurant kitchen R90,000 to R280,000 including reticulation, supply, safety systems and certification.
Can gas be installed in a warehouse conversion?
Yes, and it should be designed alongside the extraction and electrical rather than after them, because interlocks have to be commissioned together.
Who is responsible for the gas certificate, landlord or tenant?
It depends on the lease. Commonly the landlord holds the supply infrastructure and the tenant the installation and appliances they operate. Read the lease rather than assuming.
My Woodstock house has old gas pipework, is it safe?
Unknown until it is inspected and pressure tested. Older installations here frequently carry undocumented alterations, and an inspection at R750 to R2,800 settles it.
How often do commercial premises need recertification?
There is no blanket annual statutory rule, but landlords and insurers commonly require it and most Woodstock food businesses operate on that basis.
