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.
