What should you do before anything else?
Safety outranks the booking. Where the smell hits hard or arrives suddenly, get every person and pet out, and leave light switches, appliances and phones alone until you are clear of the house.
From outside, ring the network first. Phone the gas network's emergency line and report what you can smell. Once the scene is safe, call us to trace the leak and sort the pipework on your property. For smaller faults like a dying pilot light or a suspect bayonet point, we come out and trace it the normal way.
Which clues point to a leaking gas line?
Gas gives fair warning most of the time. Any one of these is worth a call, and two together mean ring now:
- A sulphur smell near a wall, floor, the meter or a subfloor hatch
- Cooktop flames burning orange or yellow instead of a clean blue
- A pilot light that keeps going out, or error codes on a continuous-flow unit
- A faint hiss near the meter with nothing in the house running
- Headaches or light-headedness indoors that clear up after time outdoors
From call to certified line
A gas leak booking runs through four steps:
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 1093 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
- 02
A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 03
Trace, test, fix
We follow the line with a gas detector, repair the section that is failing, then pressure-test the whole run and certify it.
- 04
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
How is the repair priced?
Price follows where the leak turns out to be and how much pipe goes with it:
- Where the leak sits, since a failed bayonet point on a deck is quicker work than a buried line under a subfloor
- How much line has to come out and be replaced, measured on the trace
- The pipe and appliance involved, because a corroded section feeding an old heater costs more than a simple joint
- Access, since lines under floors and inside wall cavities take longer to reach than one in open air
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

What Customers Say
We had an urgent gas problem that required immediate attention at our home…on a Friday afternoon. … Identified the issue, fixed and tested
When We're Not the Right Call
The distributor owns the meter and the street main, so a leak on either goes to their emergency number before it comes to us. An electrical fault that smells like burning, not gas, belongs to a licensed electrician.
Gas Leak Questions
What should I do if I smell gas in my New Lambton home?
Leave the house with everyone in it, touching nothing electrical and lighting nothing. Report it to the gas distributor's emergency line from outside, then ring us: we find the leak and repair your gas line on your property, with a fixed figure quoted before any work starts.
Do the pre-war homes here need their gas lines checked before a new heater goes in?
Yes, and it is worth doing. Much of the local housing was piped generations ago, and an old line may not suit a new appliance under current rules. We test the line as part of the install, so you know it can carry the load before the heater is connected.
Who repairs a leak in the street main outside a New Lambton property?
The gas distributor looks after the street main and the meter, since both are their equipment. Our work runs from the meter through to the appliances, so once their fault is cleared we take over the rest of the line.
Is a gas leak repair covered by warranty?
Every repair carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did is not right within that year, you ring the same number and we set it right. The work is also pressure-tested and certified before we leave, so the fix is proven on the day.
