Pricing guide

Costs vary mainly with whether the appliance can connect to an existing compliant gas point or needs a new branch and extra pipework. New runs, additional fittings, testing or coordination with the gas distributor generally make the job more involved, and limited access or after-hours attendance can also increase overall cost. A conservative estimate is often used when details are unclear, so clarifying the scope usually narrows expected charges.

  • Existing gas point versus new branch

    Connecting to an existing compliant gas point is typically simpler than running a new supply branch, which requires more labour and materials.

  • Extent of pipework and routing

    Longer runs, wall or floor chasing and significant re-routing generally increase work time and fittings required.

  • Materials and fittings required

    Different appliances may need specific valves, flexible hoses or extra fittings and materials allowances can vary by scope.

  • Testing, permits and distributor coordination

    Work that needs additional testing or coordination with the gas distributor, or formal permits, usually adds steps and complexity.

  • Access, site conditions and timing

    Restricted access, difficult site conditions or after-hours attendance typically increase how long the job takes and the overall scope.

Frequently asked questions

Do gas installers need a licence?
Yes — gas appliance installation must be carried out by a licensed plumber or gasfitter. Licensed tradespeople are usually required to provide appropriate compliance documentation or notifications on completion.
Will the installer do safety testing?
Most installers typically perform gas tightness and safety checks as part of an install. If additional testing or distributor sign-off is needed, that can add coordination and time to the job.
What if my meter or regulator needs work?
Major meter or regulator work is generally handled by the gas distributor and is often out of scope for a standard appliance install. If such work is needed, it usually requires extra permits and coordination beyond a simple replacement.
What information should I provide beforehand?
Tell the installer the appliance type, where the gas point is, and any access restrictions or existing pipework details. If you're unsure about the setup, note that this often leads to a conservative estimate until the installer can assess the site.
