Illovo sits between Rosebank and Sandton, and it has been changing from a residential suburb into a mixed-use one for years. Apartment developments and offices line the main roads, restaurants cluster around the retail strips, and many older houses now serve as professional offices.
Apartments and converted properties account for a large share of enquiries, and both come with constraints worth understanding before asking for quotes.

Ranges are for sanity-checking. Quotes are for deciding.
Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Ask the building before an installer. Many newer apartment blocks restrict or prohibit LPG cylinders in units. The managing agent can confirm quickly.
- Offices in houses are commercial premises. A change of use generally warrants a fresh inspection of any existing gas installation.
- Reticulated blocks change the job. Where a building supplies gas to units, work inside the unit is a connection rather than a new installation.
- Kitchens need interlocks. Commercial kitchens need tested gas detection and extract interlocks as part of certification.

Only where the building rules allow it and a compliant cylinder position exists. Check with the managing agent first.
