Assessment

Completion
Send Stately your Waiuku address, photos of the current arrangement and a sketch of the proposed outdoor layout. Stately’s published coverage includes Waiuku. Start by agreeing what needs assessment before the landscaping design is finalised.
Put the bottles on the layout drawing
Mark the current bottles, proposed position, doors, windows and fixed outdoor features on the same sketch. Include planned screens, gates and cupboards rather than showing an empty corner that will later be enclosed. Explain what you want to improve: access to the garden, room for furniture or a clearer route through the outdoor area.
A gasfitter checks the proposed location against the requirements for the actual installation. We need to consider ventilation, nearby openings, ignition sources and access together. A position that looks tidy on a drawing still needs assessment at the property before you order a custom enclosure or finish the surrounding work.
Trace what the bottles actually supply
Tell us which appliances use the bottles and whether they will remain in their current positions. An outdoor redesign sometimes coincides with a new hob or hot water appliance. Keep those changes in the same brief so the proposed bottle position and gas pipework are assessed against the intended appliance arrangement.
We check the supply at the address, the connected equipment and the existing route before recommending alterations. Moving bottles around a corner might involve more than extending a connection. The assessment establishes what pipework, regulator connections or other components need alteration or replacement. Photos help explain the request, but the repair scope comes from inspecting the installation.

Coordinate gas work with outdoor construction
Have the landscaping or building contact share the proposed construction sequence. Tell the gasfitter when surfaces will be opened, where supports are planned and which areas will become difficult to reach afterwards. This helps coordinate the gas pipe route with the finished layout rather than treating it as an afterthought.
Gas work must be done by a licensed gasfitter. Check the practitioner on the PGDB register. Do not ask another trade to disconnect bottles, move connected equipment or alter gas pipework as part of clearing the work area. Agree who will approve any additional gas work revealed during inspection, and who will receive updates while the outdoor work proceeds.
Agree the relocation and reconnection scope
The proposed work should name the bottle location, pipework alterations and any components being replaced. Separate that gasfitting scope from paving, screening and other building work. We install or alter the agreed gas components and check the completed installation before handover. Repairs identified during assessment should be explained before becoming part of the job.
Discuss which appliances will be unavailable during disconnection and how the occupant will be told when they can be used again. Keep the final outdoor layout consistent with the assessed arrangement. Tell the gasfitter about design changes before construction continues, especially if a screen becomes a cupboard or another appliance is added nearby.
Keep the handover with your property records
At handover, ask for an explanation of the completed changes, the isolation point and any operating instructions relevant to the altered arrangement. Keep those details with the appliance records. They give the next person working on the outdoor area a clear account of what changed and which equipment the bottles supply.
Connected gas work needs a Gas Safety Certificate. General or high risk gasfitting also needs a Certificate of Compliance. For servicing or repairs, the paperwork must match the actual work undertaken. Agree how those records will reach the owner, particularly when a landscaper or property manager has coordinated access rather than authorised the gasfitting directly. Keep the certification paperwork with your appliance records.
Gas fitter: questions from Waiuku
Can I hide the bottles behind a screen?
Share the screen design before ordering it. The gasfitter checks the proposed arrangement, including ventilation and access, against the installation requirements. Include gates and overhead covers in the drawing.
Should I buy longer connections before the visit?
No. Let the gasfitter assess the proposed route and select suitable components. Bring the layout and appliance details instead.
What if I smell gas near the bottles?
Avoid flames and electrical switches. Leave the area and call your gas supplier or emergency services from outside. Do not investigate the connections yourself.
