Gas work, done by someone licensed.
Gas work is one of the few areas of plumbing where doing it yourself, or letting an unlicensed person do it, carries a genuine safety risk rather than just a workmanship one. Voyager’s gas fitting across the North Shore is carried out by licensed gas fitters, with the certification to match.

If you can smell gas right now, stop reading and go to what to do about a suspected leak.
Residential, commercial and strata across the North Shore.
No power points, no appliances. Don’t light anything, and don’t use a lighter to look for the leak
If it’s safe to do so
If the smell is strong, or anyone feels unwell, call the gas emergency line and emergency services first. Then call Voyager on 0485 028 787 — 24/7.
Describe what’s happening and we’ll tell you straight — including when the simple fix is the whole job.
Unlicensed gas work is illegal in NSW, and it tends to surface at the worst time — a failed inspection, a rejected insurance claim, or a compliance issue during a property sale. Any licensed gas work should come with a compliance certificate; if you’ve had gas work done and never received one, that’s worth following up.
Voyager provides certification for completed gas work as a matter of course.
New cooktop, oven, gas heater or outdoor BBQ point: the connection needs to be done by a licensed gas fitter, and it usually isn’t included in the appliance delivery, whatever the retailer implied at the counter.
Voyager can connect a supplied appliance, run a new gas point where there isn’t one, and test and certify the work. If an existing line can’t safely support an additional appliance, you’ll be told that before you’ve bought it — worth a call before the purchase rather than after.
A fair amount of the North Shore’s housing stock has gas installations that pre-date current standards, or that have been extended piecemeal over decades. Common findings:
None of these are necessarily urgent. All of them are worth knowing about, particularly if you’re about to renovate or you’ve recently bought the property.
Not unless they hold a gas fitting licence — it’s a separate qualification. Always ask, and always expect a compliance certificate afterwards.
Yes. Voyager provides certification for completed gas work. Keep it — it matters for insurance and when you sell.
Yes, provided it’s suitable for the gas supply at the property and there’s a compliant connection point. If either is a problem, you’ll be told what’s needed before work starts.
It depends on the distance, the route, and what has to be accessed along the way. Voyager prices by the job rather than the hour, so you get a fixed price before work starts.
It’s a reasonable thing to do, especially with an older installation or where previous work is undocumented. A gas safety check establishes what’s there and whether it’s compliant.
A brief smell as an appliance ignites can be normal. A persistent smell isn’t. If it lingers, treat it as a suspected leak and follow the steps above.
