Right now
That rotten-egg smell near the stove is a warning, not a wait
Gas gives you a small window to act, and the safest move is out the door and on the phone. Call (02) 9072 0592 from outside and a licensed plumber tells you exactly what to do next.

How we make a gas leak safe and repair it
A gas call is a sequence, not a single job, because making the property safe comes first and only then does finding and mending the fault begin, and every attendance runs it in that order:
Make the property safe
Our plumber's first move on arrival is to shut the gas at the meter and air out the rooms, so the immediate danger has passed before anyone begins tracing the leaking joint or the appliance hidden behind the wall itself.
Pressure testing the lines
Once the supply is off, we pressure test the whole run to pin down exactly where it is losing gas, which turns a vague smell into a precise fault and spares you the mess of opening walls on a hunch.
Fitting and appliance repair
Having found the fault, we renew the perished joint, connector or regulator, or make safe an appliance that is past its life, so the gas that returns to your kitchen is running through sound and fully compliant pipework once again.
Why a gas smell in a flat is everyone's business
Shared walls, shared risk
Heavy gas cooking, tired fittings
No smell is too small to check
Common gas faults in the older homes
Smell but no flame
A gas odour with every burner off usually points to a leaking joint or a perished appliance hose rather than a stove left on, and a pressure test locates the exact fitting so the right repair is made once.
Meter box hissing
A faint hiss or a gas smell at the meter box points to a fault on the supply side rather than an appliance, and isolating and testing there keeps a regulator or connector fault from becoming a bigger escape.
Why gas is the one you never leave
Water damage is expensive, but gas is the fault that puts people in real danger, which is why it sits ahead of everything else and why the reasons to act on it are simple:
- Gas is a fire and health risk An unburned build-up can ignite from a single spark, and breathing it is dangerous in itself.
- Leaks grow, they do not settle A perished joint only worsens as gas keeps working at it, so a faint smell today is a bigger escape tomorrow.
- Compliance protects your home Gas work signed off with a certificate keeps your insurance and paperwork sound, where an unverified fix can leave you exposed.
How it works
The steps from a gas smell to a safe home
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0592 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Made safe, then fixed
Clearing the danger comes before anything else, so the supply is shut and the space vented, then a pressure test pins the leak and the perished fitting or tired appliance is repaired and retested until the line holds.
- 04
Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Allawah
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Allawah works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
A gas fault is one job you want done right the first time, and that is exactly the standard behind these four promises.
Where we work
Areas we service across the district
Gas emergencies get the same fast, safety-first response in Carlton, South Hurstville, Kogarah Bay, Carss Park and Beverley Park, where the same era of cottages and converted flats carry the same ageing fittings, and every attendance ends with the compliance paperwork in your hands.
Beyond the leak? If the trouble is your gas hot water, our gas hot water systems page goes deeper, while the emergency plumbing hub and our wider general plumbing pages sit behind every other urgent fault.
Good questions, straight answers
Gas leak questions Allawah locals ask
What should I do the moment I smell gas?
Step outside first, keep clear of light switches, naked flames and anything that might spark, prop a door open as you leave if you safely can, then ring us from the footpath for guidance.
Why are gas leaks common in the older flats and cottages?
Many gained gas cooking decades back and still run their original connectors and joints, which perish over time until a fitting begins to seep long before anyone notices the smell.
Are you qualified to work on gas?
Yes, every gas call is attended by a licensed and gas-qualified plumber who isolates the supply, tests the lines and repairs the fault, with the compliance certificate handed over on the invoice.
Is there a call out fee to check a suspected gas leak?
No, the call out fee is $0 at any hour of the day or night, and you get a fixed written price before any repair begins, so having the leak found and assessed costs nothing.
Can you come out after hours for a gas smell?
Yes, a licensed plumber answers day or night and heads straight out, because a gas leak is the one fault that should never wait until morning whatever the hour you notice it.
My meter box smells of gas, is that different from a kitchen leak?
Yes, a smell at the meter usually means a supply-side fault such as a regulator or connector rather than an appliance, so we isolate and test there to stop it becoming a larger escape.
