GAS INSTALLATIONS BERGVLIET
We’re here to help
Bergvliet is one of those Southern Suburbs neighbourhoods where most homes were built decades ago and have been added to, renovated or extended since — which means the gas installations we come across here are rarely brand-new starts.
OUR SERVICES
Gas Installations
We install any type of gas appliance, from stoves and hobs to fireplaces and geysers, and cover all types of installations.
After a new installation, maintenance or repair, we will issue a compliance certificate in accordance with SANS 10087-1:2024.
We conduct inspections on all installations and repairs, covering components such as regulators and isolation and safety shut-off valves.
We can supply and install any size gas cylinder cage to your existing installation to meet all SANS requirements.
We offer maintenance to existing gas installations, ensuring that piping and fittings are always in the best condition.
Using state-of-the-art sniffer devices, we can detect the smallest of leaks on your gas installation, putting your mind at ease.
Gas Installation Services in Bergvliet
More often we’re called in to add a gas hob to a renovated kitchen, replace an old geyser with a gas unit near the Tokai forest end of the suburb, or bring an installation that predates current regulation up to a compliant standard.
Core Gas Installations handles the full range of residential gas work in Bergvliet: stoves, hobs and ovens, gas fireplaces for the cooler winter months this part of Cape Town is known for, and gas geysers sized to the household. Where an existing gas cylinder setup doesn’t meet current SANS clearance requirements — often the case in older homes where cylinders sit closer to boundary walls or electrical points than the standard allows — we can relocate and re-cage the installation, so it passes inspection.
Every job, new or corrective, ends with a Certificate of Compliance issued under SANS 10087-1:2024. For Bergvliet residents selling a home, this is frequently the certificate an estate agent or conveyancer will ask for as part of the sale process, alongside electrical and plumbing compliance.
We also offer maintenance on existing systems and leak detection using sniffer equipment for anyone who suspects a slow leak but can’t pin down the source. Given how many Bergvliet properties back onto green space and have mature gardens, keeping gas lines away from irrigation trenches and root systems is something our technicians check as standard.
Whether you’re renovating, selling, or simply want an old installation checked properly, Core Gas Installations can quote the work and get it certified.
Before any work begins, we walk the property with the homeowner, confirm exactly what’s needed, and put it in writing so there are no surprises on invoice day. Once the installation is complete and certified, we register the job on file, which makes a follow-up inspection or a future addition to the system quicker to scope. Core Gas Installations offers a 24-hour emergency line for Bergvliet residents dealing with a suspected leak outside normal hours, and as part of the wider Core Services Group, we can also refer you to Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection if a job turns out to need more than gas work alone.
