This page sits behind our main Wavell Heights plumbing guide and takes gas work in full. You'll find what the law counts as gas work, who may legally do it, and the certificate that follows a finished install.
What Gas Fitting Work Covers
Gas work, in the Queensland Government's definition, covers installing, altering, repairing, removing, servicing, testing and certifying a gas system, and the pipework and connections that go with it. Both household fuels fall inside that definition: natural gas arriving by pipe, and LPG kept in bottles or a tank.
A few things follow from that definition:
Servicing counts as gas work
Cookers, barbecues and the like need a periodic service from a licensed gasfitter, and they should be installed and run to the maker's instructions.
Certifying counts too
Signing off a finished system is licensed work in its own right, not paperwork anyone can do.
Hot water units on gas are included
Our hot water plumbing page covers that side of the trade, where winter mornings tend to find worn-out tanks in the post-war houses here.
Renovation season brings its share of this work. School holidays see kitchens opened up in the character-overlay streets around Spence Road and Highcrest Avenue. Shifting a cooktop or adding a gas point in a pre-1947 house is gas work from the moment the line is touched.
The Gas Compliance Certificate After Installation
A gas system compliance certificate is the document that certifies a finished gas installation or alteration complies with the rules. The licence holder gives you, the owner, the original as soon as the job is done.
Two details worth knowing:
The certificate attaches to installs and alterations
A repair or a service does not end in one, so don't expect paperwork after every visit.
The network operator gets a copy too
Where your fuel gas comes from a distribution network, the operator is sent its own copy inside 5 days.
Keep the certificate with your house papers. Down the track it proves the gas system was signed off by the right licence holder, which matters come sale time or after later work.
Who May Do Gas Work in Queensland
Only a licensed gasfitter can carry out gas work, and the Queensland Government's advice is plain: sight the gas work licence before letting anyone start. Asking costs nothing, and a legitimate tradie produces it without blinking.
The plumbing side runs on a parallel system:
Two licences apply to plumbing and drainage work
The tradesperson needs an occupational licence to do the work, plus a contractor licence to run jobs as a business, and the QBCC issues both.
Owners can check online
The QBCC publishes lookups that show whether a plumber is licensed and whether a Form 4 has been lodged for your address after notifiable work.
Gas sits on its own register of competence
A plumber who also carries a gas work licence is the person you want for anything from a bayonet to a full new line.

Gas Questions Wavell Heights Homes Ask
Call (07) 3524 7163What does a gas fitter actually do at a house?
A gas fitter installs, repairs, services and tests gas systems, along with the pipework feeding them. Finished installations and alterations get certified as well. Servicing is part of it too: stoves, BBQs and similar gear need a licensed gasfitter's eye at regular intervals.
Is a gas fitter the same as a plumber?
No, the two trades overlap but the licences differ. Gas jobs belong to licensed gasfitters alone, while plumbing and drainage work runs on its own QBCC licences. Check which licence your tradie holds before booking, because plenty of plumbers carry both.
How do I check a gas fitter's licence in Wavell Heights?
Ask to sight the gas work licence before any work starts on your Wavell Heights home. For the plumbing side, the QBCC publishes online lookups that show a plumber's licence status and whether a Form 4 has been lodged for your address.
What paperwork follows a new gas installation?
One gets issued for the finished system. The licence holder hands you the original the moment an install or alteration wraps up, certifying the work complies. Where a distribution network supplies the gas, the operator is sent a copy inside 5 days.
Should I call a gas fitter or my gas supplier about a leak?
Go outside first and ring from there. The supplier's emergency number sits on your gas bill, and they handle faults on their side. A licensed gasfitter then does the repair on yours, and our gas leak repairs page walks through the full steps.
Do the gas rules cover both natural gas and LPG?
Yes, both fuels fall under the Queensland Government's gas safety guidance, whether your Wavell Heights home runs piped natural gas or LPG in bottles. The same licence, the same certificate rules and the same servicing advice apply either way.
