Completion
Gather the appliance model, any manuals and whatever paperwork came with the property. Stately Plumbing covers Māngere Bridge within its Auckland service area. Tell us whether the appliance was left connected, stored loose or brought from another property. Those details help frame the inspection, but the appliance and its connections need checking in person.
Start with the appliance, not the missing folder
An old cooker or heater can arrive with plenty of verbal history and very little useful identification. Photograph the accessible data plate and the whole appliance. Record the make, model and serial number where readable. Do not pull it apart or disconnect anything to find a label.
We check the appliance identification against the fuel supply and installation information. An LPG bottle nearby is not enough to settle compatibility. Tell us about any reported conversion or previous repair. If natural gas is being proposed instead, the supply must be checked at the address before planning a change.
Recover the history that actually helps
Ask the previous owner, property manager or seller for installation certificates, service invoices and the appliance manual. Look for documents naming the appliance and address, rather than relying on a folder labelled gas. A receipt for buying the appliance is useful history, but it serves a different purpose from installation paperwork.
Share what you find before the visit. We compare those details with the equipment present and discuss the scope needing assessment. Missing records alone do not tell us which repair is needed. Equally, a familiar brand or an appliance that lights tells us little about its installation history.

Check the inherited setup as a whole
The assessment looks beyond the appliance casing. We examine the connection arrangement, accessible pipework, isolation point and LPG supply components relevant to the installation. We also check the appliance location and the manufacturer's installation instructions, including the ventilation and flue arrangements applicable to that model.
Point out alterations made around it, such as cabinetry, shelving or an enclosure. Explain any operating problem in plain terms: trouble lighting, cutting out or an unusual smell. Do not demonstrate a suspected leak. If you smell gas, avoid flames and electrical switches, leave the area and call for help from outside.
Agree the work before reconnecting or replacing
Once the setup has been assessed, we explain the findings and proposed work. That could involve repairing a connection, servicing the appliance or installing a replacement suited to the confirmed supply. Keep decisions about keeping the appliance separate from assumptions about reusing every existing fitting.
Gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter. Check the practitioner's current authorisation on the PGDB register. Do not reconnect an inherited appliance yourself, change its jets or adapt its hose. Before work starts, agree which appliance and connections are included, what needs further investigation and what you want to retain.
Build a useful record at handover
Ask for an explanation of the completed work, operating controls and relevant maintenance instructions. Keep the appliance identification, manual and new paperwork together. Record any outstanding issue separately so it remains visible when the property changes hands or another tradesperson attends.
Connected gas work needs a Gas Safety Certificate. General and high risk gasfitting also needs a Certificate of Compliance. For servicing or repairs, we provide the applicable paperwork for the actual work. New documentation records that work; it is not a substitute for the missing history of untouched parts of the installation. Keep the certification paperwork with your appliance records.
Gas fitter: questions from Māngere Bridge
Should I search for records before booking?
Start the search, but book an assessment while you gather them. Send through anything recovered later. The appliance model and whether it remains connected are useful starting details.
Can the seller's manual replace an installation certificate?
No. A manual describes the product and its requirements. Installation certificates relate to gas work performed. Keep both because they answer different questions about the inherited appliance.
What should I send with my enquiry?
Send accessible photos, model details, the LPG arrangement and any records. Explain whether you want to retain, relocate or replace the appliance so the assessment addresses that decision.

Thomas was professional, fast and efficient. He explained things clearly, and honestly. We were about to leave for the South Island for the weekend, Thomas made sure the job was completed in good order before we left. He also checked-in with us periodically to ensure there were no further issues.
