North Riding and neighbouring Olivedale are among Johannesburg's most complex-dense areas, with townhouse developments and small estates making up most of the housing. Gas is widely installed here, and a lot of it was built in during development.
That means much of the work is connections, replacements, servicing and certificates rather than new installations, all shaped by scheme rules.

Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Built-in gas still needs maintaining. Installations fitted at development are now old enough for servicing and hose and regulator replacement.
- Schemes set the rules. Trustees usually control cylinder positions, cage design and contractor access.
- Replacement is a connection. Swapping a hob on an existing gas point is quicker and cheaper than a new installation.
- Certificates are needed on sale. The sectional title resale market is busy, and a gas certificate is required on transfer.
