Woody Point Plumbing Services fits gas cooktops, built-in ovens and freestanding cookers on natural gas or LPG, and every job is done by a licensed plumber. The rest of our repair and installation work sits across Woody Point, with cooktops one corner of our gas fitting trade.
Why Gas Appliance Work Needs a Gasfitter
No, none of it belongs to the householder: Queensland gives every gas job to a gasfitter holding a current gas work licence.
That licence covers the appliance, the pipework and the connections. The same rules apply whether the fuel arrives through a meter or out of a bottle. Ask to sight the licence before anyone touches your kitchen.
From Gas Point to Leak Test
Four stages make up the visit: connecting the cooktop to its gas point, setting the clearances, leak-testing the new joints, then handing over the certificate.
The connection
A gas stove installation goes fastest onto a point that already exists at the bench, and takes longer where we need to run pipe from the meter or the bottle bank.
Clearances
The maker's fitting sheet sets the room the burners need above and beside the cooktop, and we work to those figures, not guesswork.
Leak test
Every new joint gets sprayed with detergent solution before we pack up. Any bubble gets fixed on the spot.
Certificate
The compliance paperwork reaches you the moment the installation wraps. Our compliance certificates page explains what the document covers.
Smelling gas before any of this starts? Our gas leak repairs page comes first, and the phone comes before that.
Natural Gas, LPG and Conversions
Three supply checks come first, and a gasfitter runs all of them before the cooktop goes near the bench:
LPG storage
the cylinders and how fast the fuel boils off have to cover what the burners draw at once.
Meter capacity
on a piped supply, the meter has to pass the new demand comfortably.
Pipe sizing
the run out to the kitchen has to carry the load without starving the burners.
Most appliances are built for one fuel. A cooktop moving from a piped home to a bottled one gets converted with the maker's parts for that model, then tested before dinner.
One formality sits on the supply side. Where a meter feeds the house, the network operator gets told beforehand about a whole new system, or about an extra 100 megajoules each hour of demand. That notice is the licence holder's job, not yours.
Choosing a Gas Appliance That Fails Safe
Look for three features before you buy: an approval badge from the national scheme covering gas appliances, flame failure protection, and automatic reignition.
The badge
shows the model cleared Australia's gas device testing.
Flame failure
shuts the supply to a burner the moment its flame dies, rather than letting gas pool in the kitchen.
Automatic reignition
relights the burner by itself, so a gust off the bay does not turn into a hazard.
Why Gas Installation Quotes Differ
Four things drive the price: what the bench already has, the appliance, the supply checks, and fuel conversion where needed. A fixed quote sets the figure before we begin.
The local wrinkles. This headland filled out around a jetty built in 1888, and a mid-century fibro cottage off Gayundah Esplanade can still carry original galvanised supply pipe, furred up after decades of service. New kitchens keep arriving too, with area-level figures recording 76 dwellings approved across 2021-22 alone.
A starved line shows up as weak burners, so we size the run before quoting. Whatever the job turns out to be, you approve a fixed quote before we start, and flat-rate pricing means no hidden fees.

Gas Cooktop Questions From the Headland
Call (07) 3523 7172Can I install a gas cooktop myself?
No, Queensland reserves every part of the job, connecting, altering, testing and signing off, for a gasfitter with a gas work licence. There is no legal do-it-yourself version, and only the licence holder can hand over the certificate at the end.
How much does it cost to install a gas cooktop in Woody Point?
A fixed quote sets the price, worked out from four drivers: whether the bench already has a gas point, the appliance itself, the supply checks, and any conversion between fuels. You approve that figure before anyone starts, so nothing lands on the invoice unannounced.
Do I get a certificate after a gas appliance is installed?
Yes, you receive the gas system compliance certificate as soon as the job wraps, and it confirms the installation complies with Queensland's rules. Keep the certificate with your house records, because a buyer or an insurer may ask for it later.
Can a gas cooktop in Woody Point run on LPG bottles?
Yes, when the model is set up for LPG or a gasfitter converts it. The bottle storage and its vaporisation rate have to keep up with what the burners draw, and the gasfitter checks both before connecting. Converting between fuels counts as gas work too.
Does my gas supplier need to know about a new appliance?
No, not for a plain cooktop swap. The network operator only gets told when a whole new gas system goes onto a metered supply, or when the added demand reaches 100 megajoules each hour. Your gasfitter gives that notice, covering what was built and how far demand rises.
