GAS INSTALLATIONS YSTERFONTEIN
We’re here to help
Ysterfontein doesn’t draw the same attention as Langebaan or Paternoster further up the West Coast, and that’s part of its appeal for the people who own property here — a quiet fishing and holiday village where Core Gas Installations does steady, unhurried work on homes that sit closed between visits.
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 Ysterfontein
We install and service gas stoves, hobs, ovens, fireplaces and geysers for Ysterfontein properties, with cylinder cages built to SANS clearance standards and fittings specified for resilience against the same exposed West Coast conditions that shape our work at Langebaan and Melkbosstrand further south. Every job is certified under SANS 10087-1:2024, giving owners documentation for insurance regardless of how many weeks a year the property actually sees use.
Because so many Ysterfontein properties stand empty for extended periods, we treat a pre-arrival check as standard advice, not an optional extra — catching a worn fitting or a slow leak before the owners arrive is a far better outcome than discovering it once they’ve settled in for the weekend. Our leak detection service, using electronic sniffer equipment, fits naturally into that same pre-season routine.
We keep a record of every Ysterfontein installation on file, so returning owners always have a compliance history to refer to, even between long absences from the property. 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 Ysterfontein job needs it.
