Gas Smell
99% of callouts to gas smells result in finding a gas leak of some kind. Any noticable smell needs to be investigated.
Some safe ways for a home owner to detect these leaks is with a cup of soapy water. Place the bubbles around the suspect area. If the leak is present you'll notice quick expansion of the bubbles.
Any leaks need to be repaired immediately or the gas shut off at the meter call us for a service technician to repair the fault.
See domestic service packages.
Combustable Surfaces
Many stoves and cookers are found to be non-compliant, putting your house insurance at risk.
The cooktop needs to be a minimum of 10mm above surrounding benchtops. Adjacent splash backs and walls within 200mm of the burner need to be of non-combustable material.

Non-Secured Cookers
Customers need to be aware that some cookers with weight placed on door of oven have caused cookers to fall forward, spilling hot contents from the stove top. These cookers need to be securely anchored with tether of floor mounts.
