What Does a Gas Leak Look Like?
A leak can be too small to smell from across the room. The signs that point at the line or a fitting include:
- A faint gas smell near an appliance or bayonet point even when it is switched off
- Burner flames that burn yellow and floppy rather than crisp blue
- An appliance that cuts out or will not light at all
- A faint hiss you can hear at the meter or a pipe joint
- Higher bills than the usage explains
Trust your nose over everything else. Even a faint smell deserves a check, because a small leak at a worn washer gets worse, not better.
How Do We Find and Fix It?
- 1
Make it safe
The gas is turned off at the right valve before any test gear goes on.
- 2
Pressure test
The line gets pressurised so any drop shows us the leak exists and roughly where.
- 3
Trace with the detector
The gas detector pinpoints the leak at the joint, fitting or section of pipe.
- 4
Replace, then prove it
New pipe or a new fitting goes in where the old one failed, and a second test holds pressure before the certificate is written.
The finished line is pressure tested and certified, so the repair is documented, not just done.
The Price of a Leak Repair
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
The figure moves on four points:
- Whether the drop is at a bayonet in the kitchen or somewhere along pipe buried beneath the floorboards
- The length of pipe that has to come out once the detector has pinned the joint
- Whether the appliance has to come out to reach the connection
- After-hours call-outs, which carry the after-hours rate

When We're Not the Right Call
The meter and the service pipe feeding it from the street belong to the gas network, so a leak there goes to their faults crew. If the fault is an appliance past repair instead of the line, we name the fault and the replacement choice stays with you.

Before You Ring: Gas Leak Questions
What should I do first if I can smell gas in my Tenambit house?
Walk the household out through the front door, leave every switch and plug exactly as it is, and stand well back from the house. Turn the meter valve off only if the route there avoids the smell. Their emergency crew makes it safe; after that we trace the leak and repair it.
Do you find gas leaks in older Tenambit homes?
Yes. Much of this suburb was built between the 1960s and the 1980s and connected to gas in stages, so worn joints and perished washers are worth ruling out. We pressure test the line and trace the fault with a gas detector rather than guessing.
Is a gas leak repair covered by a warranty?
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. The repaired line is pressure tested before we leave, and a licensed fitter signs the compliance paperwork, so the repair is certified as well as covered.
Do you come out to Tenambit for gas leaks after hours?
Yes. Gas faults count as emergency work at any hour, and we are Available 24/7. An after-hours booking carries the after-hours rate, which is named before anything starts.
When the leaking part is an old cooktop or heater worth replacing, see connecting a new gas appliance.
