certification
Gasfitting certificates
It is a legal requirement for us to issue a gasfitting certificate for all gasfitting jobs that we undertake. This gives our customers verification that the work which we have carried out is lawful and compliant. These certificates are sent to our customers for their records and are also stored by our company for a period of seven years.
There are different classifications of risk for such gasfitting certificates;
- Low-risk / General
The charge for a gasfitting certificate for such work is $50.
(e.g. Replacement of a gas appliance, this is sometimes referred to as like-for-like gasfitting) - High-risk
The charge for a gasfitting certificate for such work is $80.
(e.g. An addition or alteration to an existing installation)
