Frequently Asked Questions

Do you need to be licensed to do gas fitting work in New Zealand?

Yes. All gas fitting work in New Zealand must be carried out by a licensed gasfitter registered with the Plumbers, Gasfitters and Drainlayers Board (PGDB). It is illegal for unlicensed people to do gas work. Plumbway Ltd's gasfitters are fully licensed and registered, and we issue the appropriate compliance certificates for all gas work we carry out.

What gas work requires a compliance certificate?

Any new gas installation, gas appliance installation, gas pipe alterations, or connection of a new gas supply requires a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by the licensed gasfitter. This applies to both LPG and natural gas systems. Always ask for a CoC when having gas work done — it confirms the work is legal, safe and compliant.

Can you work with both LPG (bottled gas) and natural gas?

Yes. We work with both LPG (bottled or bulk tank) and natural gas (reticulated supply). LPG is common in rural and coastal areas like Raglan, Morrinsville and surrounding townships where natural gas reticulation isn't available. Natural gas is common in Hamilton city and some larger towns. We'll confirm which supply type suits your property and handle the full installation.

Can you install a gas hob or gas cooktop in my kitchen?

Yes. We install gas hobs, cooktops, ovens and other gas appliances in both existing kitchens and renovations. If you're switching from electric to gas, we can advise on whether a natural gas or LPG connection is the right option for your location, and handle the full installation including the compliance certificate.

What is an LPG bulk tank installation?

A bulk LPG tank is a large above-ground tank installed at your property to store LPG gas in larger quantities — common on lifestyle blocks and rural properties where cylinders would need too-frequent swapping. We can advise on tank sizing, siting requirements and organise the installation with your LPG supplier. All pipework from the tank to the appliances is installed and certified by our licensed gasfitters.
