Thokoza sits directly against Katlehong on the Alberton side, and its gas work is much the same: cylinder cooking in almost every home, rental rooms on many stands, and small businesses running on the same supply as the kitchen.
What distinguishes Thokoza is the housing mix. Older municipal housing, hostel accommodation and newer builds sit close together, and each puts a different constraint on where a cylinder may legally stand.

Thokoza jobs sit at the lower end of these ranges because runs are short. The position of the cylinder, not the appliance, is what most often decides whether a quote is simple or needs extra pipework.
Ranges are for sanity-checking. Quotes are for deciding.
Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Shared buildings need a designated position. In shared or hostel-type accommodation, cylinders cannot stand wherever is convenient. A single compliant position with ventilation is the usual answer.
- Older housing hides earlier work. Municipal-era houses often carry gas added years ago without documentation, which has to be checked before anything is added.
- Never store a spare cylinder indoors. Spare cylinders belong outside in a ventilated position, connected or not.
- Ask for a written certificate, not a promise. The certificate is the document that matters afterwards, and only a registered authorised person can issue one.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can the gas cylinder stand on a small stand?
Outdoors, upright, ventilated, and clear of windows, doors, drains and ignition sources by the required distances. The installer identifies the position before quoting.
Can gas be installed in shared accommodation?
Yes, with a designated compliant cylinder position and the owner's consent. It needs to be certified like any other fixed installation.
How much is a gas certificate in Thokoza?
R950 to R2,200 for a single appliance and R1,600 to R3,800 where there are several gas points.
My regulator is old. Does it need replacing?
Regulators have a working life and perish with age and sun exposure. Replacement is inexpensive and is usually done during any other visit.
Can I keep a spare cylinder in the house?
No. Spare cylinders must be stored outdoors in a ventilated position, whether they are connected or not.
How long does a hob installation take?
Most are completed in a day, including the pressure test and the certificate.
