GAS INSTALLATIONS Pringle Bay
We’re here to help
Pringle Bay’s population multiplies several times over on a summer weekend and shrinks back down to a handful of full-time residents the rest of the year — a pattern typical of the small villages strung along Clarence Drive between Gordon’s Bay and Betty’s Bay.
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 Pringle Bay
Core Gas Installations builds every Pringle Bay installation around that rhythm: systems that need to work flawlessly the moment a family arrives after weeks or months away, not just when someone’s around to notice a problem developing.
We install and service gas stoves, hobs, ovens, fireplaces and geysers for Pringle Bay properties, with cylinder cages built to SANS clearance standards and fittings chosen for resilience in the exposed, fynbos-covered coastal environment that defines this stretch of the Kogelberg. Every job is certified under SANS 10087-1:2024, giving homeowners documentation for insurance regardless of how many weeks a year the property is actually occupied.
Given how many Pringle Bay homes stand empty for extended stretches, we treat a pre-arrival check as standard advice rather than an optional extra — a fitting or hose that’s developed a fault while the property sat closed is far better caught before a family arrives for the weekend than during the visit itself. Our leak detection service, using electronic sniffer equipment, fits naturally into that same pre-season routine.
Because Pringle Bay involves a real drive from our Brackenfell base, we schedule visits efficiently, often alongside other calls along Clarence Drive, without compromising on the standard of work. Core Gas Installations offers a 24-hour emergency line, and through the Core Services Group we can bring in Core Electrical or Core Leak Detection where a Pringle Bay job needs it.
