Right now
A gas smell is never a wait-and-see, so we pick up at once
Get everyone outside first, then call (02) 9072 0592 from a safe spot, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, walks you through shutting the gas at the meter while a gas fitter heads your way.
Why gas faults surface in the older homes here
Decades-old gas runs
Appliances older than their fittings
A settled, long-held housing stock
What we do the moment we arrive
The moment we reach a gas call the aim is to make the property safe and pinpoint the loss before anything is switched back on, and this is how that urgent emergency response runs:
Isolate the supply
The first move on arrival is closing the gas right at the meter box so no more fuel can feed the leak, which immediately lowers the risk while we open the house up and let the built-up gas clear safely away.
Pressure test the lines
With the supply isolated a licensed gas fitter pressure tests the pipework to confirm there really is a loss and measure how fast it falls, because a proper test turns a vague smell into a single precise, clearly provable fault.
Trace the leak
Once a loss is confirmed we work along the runs and fittings to pinpoint exactly where the gas is escaping, checking the joints behind appliances and the older unions that these long-established homes so often turn out to hide away.
Repair and recheck
After the leaking section is repaired or replaced we retest the whole line under pressure, so the gas stays off until the whole system has proven itself genuinely tight once more, and it is only restored once the line holds.
Where the gas calls come from
Winter heater season
Workshops off Boundary Road
Shops and older kitchens
Common gas leak signs we act on
A few signs point clearly to a gas problem rather than a harmless smell, and each one is worth acting on the moment you notice it:
A smell that lingers
When a rotten-egg odour keeps returning near a heater, cooktop or the meter it usually means gas is escaping somewhere on the line, and the safest response is always to ventilate, get outside and call before investigating it further yourself.
A pilot that keeps dropping
A pilot light or burner that keeps going out can point to a supply fault upstream rather than the appliance itself, so a flame that repeatedly fails on an ageing gas run deserves a check rather than another relight.
Feeling unwell indoors
When a household feels lightheaded, headachy or queasy indoors for no clear reason, a gas issue can be the hidden cause, so stepping outside into fresh air and phoning a licensed plumber is the only sensible first response to make.
Why a gas leak cannot wait
A gas leak is one of the few plumbing faults that threatens the whole household at once, and treating even a faint smell seriously is what keeps a small escape from becoming a genuine danger:
- Gas is a fire and health risk An escape can ignite from the smallest spark and, in an enclosed room, can leave a household feeling unwell. Getting out and getting it checked comes before anything else.
- Small leaks grow A weeping joint or perished seal only worsens as the fitting keeps working. Acting on the first faint smell stops a slow escape from turning into a serious one.
- Only a licensed hand should sign it off Gas work is not a job to patch and hope, so having a licensed plumber isolate, test and prove the line protects both your home and your compliance paperwork.
How it works
How we handle a gas leak, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Make safe, then test
The make-safe always comes first, so we shut the gas off at the meter box and ventilate the home before a licensed gas fitter pressure tests every run, locates the escape and proves the line tight ahead of any repair.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Peakhurst
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Peakhurst works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
A suspected gas leak gets the same urgent response wherever you are, so a licensed gas fitter reaches Mortdale, Riverwood, Lugarno, Penshurst and Peakhurst Heights fast, isolates the supply and makes it safe before tracing the fault down.
Good questions, straight answers
Gas leak questions Peakhurst locals ask
What should I do the instant I smell gas?
Get everyone out of the house, avoid touching switches or lighting a flame, open a door as you leave, then call us from outside so we can talk you through the meter.
Is there a call out fee to check a suspected gas leak?
No, getting a licensed gas fitter to your door is a $0 call out fee, and you pay only after approving the written price for any repair we then carry out.
Will you attend a gas smell late at night?
Yes, we treat any gas smell as an immediate priority around the clock, so after you are clear of the house and calling from a safe distance, a gas fitter is on the way.
Why do older homes here get gas leaks?
Homes of that pre-1980s brick and weatherboard era often run gas fittings behind heaters, cooktops and water units that have sat for decades, so a tired seal can begin leaking quietly.
Should I try to find the leak myself?
No, tracing gas is not a home job, so ventilate, step outside and leave the testing to a licensed gas fitter who can pressure test the line and prove exactly where it is escaping.
Is the gas repair guaranteed?
Yes, once the line is proven tight the work carries our Lifetime Labour Warranty, and any fault in that workmanship is put right on a return visit at no charge to you.
