New gas appliances
We connect new gas cooktops and gas hot water systems, then test the connection and the appliance before we hand it over. On a kitchen renovation, we can run the gas line to where the new cooktop is going.

Can a plumber do gas fitting?
Only if they hold a gas licence as well. In Queensland, gas fitting needs its own licence, separate from a plumbing licence, so not every plumber can connect a gas cooktop or a gas hot water system. Chris holds both.
Gas work we do
Upgrades and replacements
When you swap an old gas hot water unit or cooktop for a new one, we check the gas line and the regulator can supply what the new appliance needs, then connect and test it.
Disconnections
When a gas appliance comes out, the line has to be disconnected and capped safely. That covers taking a cooktop out during a renovation, and switching from gas hot water to a heat pump or an electric system.
LPG bottles and regulators
We work on LPG systems, from the bottles and regulator to the pipe that runs to each appliance. We can set up a new bottle installation or move an old one. Bottles have to sit where the gas rules allow, away from windows, drains and anything that could light the gas.
Gas compliance certificates
In Queensland, a licensed gasfitter must give you a compliance certificate when they install or change a gas system. We give you one for every appliance we install or change. It's your record that the work was done by a licensed gasfitter and tested, so keep it with your house papers.
If you smell gas
Turn the gas off at the bottle or the meter, don't use switches or flames, open the doors and windows, and ring your gas supplier or 000. Once it's safe, ring us during business hours and we'll find and fix the leak.
How it works
Tell us the job
Ring us or send the quote form. Tell us which appliance it is, and send a photo of your gas bottles and the spot where it's going.
You get a written quote
We look at the gas line, the bottles and the regulator, then give you a written price for the whole job before we start.
We do the gas work
We fit and connect everything, test the line for leaks, and check the appliance runs properly at the right gas pressure.
We hand it over properly
You get the compliance certificate. We show you how to turn the gas off at the bottle and how the appliance works, and go through what its manufacturer's warranty covers.
What gas fitting costs
The price of a gas job comes down to the appliance, the distance and the route. A new cooktop where the gas line already ends is a small job. Running a new line from the bottles to the other side of the house, under the floor or through finished walls, takes a lot longer. Moving bottles, fitting a new regulator, or taking out and capping an old appliance adds to it.
What our customers say
We had the gas for our kitchen moved so that it can use the larger bottles further away we use for the hot water. Job was completed on time and on budget exactly as promised. Work is very neat, no shortcuts, everything is joined at corners with specific corner pieces rather than just bending by hand. Really solid job including the connection to the larger pipe, will be recommending.
Chris installed my plumbing in my newly renovated ensuite including a mixer in the shower and basin. He also installed a brand new Gas Stove including all the piping and did a great job. He was prompt and easy to deal with and has high attention to detail. Super happy with his work
Gertie J.
Hired Blue Bourke Plumbing to install electric heat pump hot water system in place of bottled gas instantaneous gas heater. Plumber Chris attended promptly at the agreed time and performed the work carefully, cheerfully and professionally. There was a problem with missing parts from the delivery which he dealt with easily. We would recommend Blue Bourke Plumbing and have them booked in for our kitchen replacement.

Common questions
Yes. In Queensland, connecting a gas cooktop is gas work, and only someone with a gas work licence can do it. They have to test the connection and give you a compliance certificate when it's done. Keep the certificate with your house papers.
It's the paperwork that says your gas work was done by a licensed gasfitter and tested. In Queensland you should get one whenever a gas appliance is installed or the gas line is changed. We give you one whenever we install or change gas pipework or an appliance. Keep it somewhere safe with your house papers.
Yes. We can move an LPG bottle installation to a better spot, as long as the new spot meets the gas rules. That means keeping the bottles clear of windows, doors, drains and anything that could light the gas. We'll look at the options with you and quote the move before we start.
It depends on the appliance and how far the gas has to run to reach it. Connecting a cooktop where the line already ends costs far less than a new line across the house. Moving bottles or capping an old appliance adds to the job.
Yes. We take out the gas unit, disconnect and cap the gas line safely, and install the heat pump in its place. If the gas bottles are still running a cooktop, they stay. If nothing else runs on gas, you can arrange for your supplier to collect the bottles.
