How do you know it's a leak?
A small leak can be hard to smell, so look for the other clues as well:
- A rotten-egg odour in a room, at the meter box or beside a heater
- Hissing near a pipe, meter or bottle where there should be silence
- Burner flames gone floppy and yellow where they once stood crisp and blue
- Plants along a buried line dying off for no clear reason
- Headaches or light-headedness indoors that clear up once you are outside
An on-and-off whiff near a heater deserves a check too. The detector reads a leak at levels a nose can miss.

What shapes the cost of a leak job?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
What sits behind that figure:
- Where the leak sits Remaking one loose union at the stove is quick; pipe that has rusted through beneath the house takes more time and more material.
- The line's age and material Old copper and aged fittings from earlier decades can need a section replaced, not just a joint redone.
- Access A line under a timber floor in a fibro cottage is a different job to one clipped along an outside wall.
- When it happens A smell at 10pm is attended at the after-hours rate, and you hear that rate before anyone drives over.

When We're Not the Right Call
Gas escaping from the meter itself, or from the distributor's main under the road, is theirs to repair, so ring their emergency number before anyone else. Once the gas side tests tight, a heater whose electronics have failed goes to the appliance maker's technician.
Questions people ask before booking
Do you come out to Wangi Wangi at night for a gas smell?
Yes. Available 24/7 includes a suspected gas leak, and a smell inside the house justifies a call at 3am as much as at noon. Move the household outdoors, don't flick a single switch, and phone from the yard or the footpath so we can walk you through what comes next.
Can you find a leak under the floor of an older peninsula cottage?
Yes. A handheld detector follows the pipe under the floorboards of the old fibro and weatherboard cottages and narrows the leak to one joint or length. Where the old pipe is too corroded to trust, the quote covers a new run built to today's standard instead of a patch.
Who fixes a leak at the gas meter?
The gas distributor owns the meter and the supply main, so a leak there goes to their faults number. Pipework downstream of the meter, running through the house to the stove and heaters, belongs to the owner, and that is where our detector and repairs come in.
Does a repair come with a warranty?
Yes. Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work, and each repaired length has to hold a pressure test before any burner is relit.
For a new cooktop, heater or barbecue point, see installing gas appliances. New supply lines and upgrades sit with our gas fitting work.
