Expert gas plumbing solutions for Altona North homes and businesses - fixed pricing before we start, licensed plumbers, work backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty.


We install gas cooktops, ovens, space heaters, fireplaces, hot water systems, and outdoor BBQ points across Altona North. Every installation is performed by a Type A licensed gas fitter and comes with a compliance certificate. We also extend gas lines for renovations and new appliance additions, ensuring all pipework meets Australian Standard AS/NZS 5601.

Gas appliance repairs require a licensed professional - it's both a legal requirement and a critical safety measure. We repair gas leaks, faulty igniters, blocked burners, and malfunctioning thermostats across all brands. Our gas fitters carry electronic leak detectors and pressure testing equipment for accurate diagnosis and safe repairs.

Gas safety inspections in Altona North include checking all gas connections, appliance condition, ventilation requirements, and carbon monoxide spillage. We test open-flue gas heaters for CO leaks - a critical safety check for older homes. Pre-sale and rental gas safety certificates are available for property managers and homeowners preparing for settlement.
Gas work in Altona North requires a licensed gas fitter - it's both a legal requirement and a critical safety measure. Incorrectly installed or maintained gas appliances can leak carbon monoxide, an odourless, colourless gas that poses serious health risks. At Hobsons Bay Plumbing, every gas job is performed by a Type A licensed gas fitter with full compliance certification.
Our gas plumbing services in Altona North cover the full spectrum: gas leak detection and repair using electronic gas sniffers and pressure testing, gas appliance installation (cooktops, ovens, gas heaters, fireplaces, hot water systems, and BBQ points), gas line extensions and upgrades for renovations or new appliance additions, and gas compliance certificates required for property sales, rentals, and insurance.
We also perform carbon monoxide testing for gas heaters and hot water systems. Older open-flue gas heaters - common in many Altona North homes built before 2000, can develop cracks in their heat exchangers that allow CO to leak into living spaces. We test for spillage and CO levels and advise on whether your heater is safe to continue using or needs replacement.
Call immediately if you smell gas (the distinctive rotten-egg odour added to natural gas), notice a yellow or flickering pilot light (instead of a steady blue flame), see soot or black marks around gas appliances, experience headaches, nausea, or dizziness when gas appliances are running, or if your gas appliance won't ignite or keeps cutting out.
For suspected gas leaks, open windows, avoid using electrical switches, leave the property, and call us on +61 422 899 490 or the gas emergency line. We provide 24/7 emergency gas response across Altona North and surrounding suburbs.
Victorian regulations require a gas compliance certificate for all gas fitting work. This includes new installations, modifications to existing gas lines, and appliance connections. We issue certificates on completion of every gas job, ensuring your installation meets Australian Standard AS/NZS 5601 and is fully compliant for insurance and resale purposes. If you're selling or renting a property in Altona North, we can also perform a pre-sale gas safety inspection to identify and resolve any compliance issues before settlement.

Joel attended promptly to an out-of-hours urgent callout for a blocked sewer. Very professional and courteous, quickly located and cleared the blockage. Highly recommend Hobsons Bay Plumbing.
Amazing service pretty much sums it up. Friday afternoon I discovered a possible water leak under my concrete. Called Hobsons Bay Plumbing and barely an hour later Jack, Daniel and a third plumber were on site.
Had my hot water system removed and replaced. Joel was prompt, friendly and professional. The two guys who attended the job were great - super lovely, respectful and did a great job. Would recommend.
Jack was awesome - helpful, explained everything he did and why. Clean, thorough, perfect results. Extremely happy as he really got us out of trouble with our shower.
Jack was punctual, polite, well mannered and very professional. He gave me options on how to resolve my leaky garden tap and explained everything in detail including pricing.
Outstanding service from Joel at Hobsons Bay Plumbing. After a quick call, he had a plumber at our property within 30 minutes. They found the burst, isolated the water and had it repaired the same afternoon.
