Sandton has two gas markets that barely overlap. Around the CBD, Nelson Mandela Square and the hotel belt, the work is commercial kitchens, bulk supply and annual certification on premises that trade every day. In the residential streets of Sandhurst, Sandown and the surrounding suburbs, it is large homes running several gas appliances off one supply.
The high-rise apartments in between are where most enquiries stall, because the building decides what is possible long before the installer does.

Sandton quotes spread wider than almost anywhere else in Johannesburg, because a single apartment hob and a hotel kitchen share a postcode. Commercial work nearly always needs a site visit before a meaningful number can be given.
Ranges are for sanity-checking. Quotes are for deciding.
Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- The building decides apartment gas. Many Sandton towers do not permit LPG cylinders in units at all. Check the building rules and ask the managing agent before paying for a quote.
- Trading hours shape commercial prices. Kitchens that can only be worked on after close or on a quiet day pay for the access. State it upfront so every quote assumes the same window.
- Interlocks are part of the certificate. Gas detection and extract interlocks on a commercial kitchen are function tested, not glanced at. A cheaper quote that leaves them out is a different job.
- Large homes should be designed once. Adding a fireplace, braai and geyser in separate visits costs far more than sizing one supply for all of them from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install gas in a Sandton apartment?
Only where the building permits it and a compliant, ventilated cylinder position exists. Many towers prohibit cylinders in units, so start with the managing agent rather than an installer.
What does a restaurant gas installation cost in Sandton?
Commercial kitchen installations start around R35,000 for a modest line and run to R280,000 or more for a full fit-out with manifolds, interlocks and multiple appliances.
When should a hotel move to bulk LPG?
When the cylinder bank needs changing several times a week or the yard can no longer hold enough cylinders for peak demand. A bulk tank also needs clearance space, which is the limiting factor on many Sandton sites.
How often does a commercial kitchen need a gas CoC?
Annually is the norm for food and hospitality premises because insurers and landlords require it, and any alteration triggers a new certificate regardless of timing.
What does a multi-point installation cost on a large Sandton home?
R9,000 to R30,000 for three to five appliances, with long runs from the cylinder position to the house pushing it towards the top.
How much is a residential CoC in Sandton?
R950 to R2,200 for a single appliance and R1,600 to R3,800 for a house with several gas points.
