Right now
Can you smell gas at home? Step outside first, then call us
Do not flick a switch or light a flame. Open the doors on your way out, shut the meter valve if you can safely reach it, and ring (02) 9072 0502 from outside, where our emergency plumbing crew answers at any hour.

How we make a gas leak safe
A gas escape is handled in a strict order, safety before diagnosis and diagnosis before repair, so we tackle it in that sequence:
Isolate the supply
The first move on arrival is to shut the gas at the meter and confirm the smell has cleared, making the home safe before anyone starts looking for exactly where the escape is coming from.
Find the leak
We put the lines under test pressure and work along the fittings with a detector to pin the precise point of escape, whether it sits at the meter, a union, an appliance connection or a run inside the wall.
Repair the fitting
With the leak located, we renew the failed section, joint or valve to current standard, then re-test the whole line under pressure to prove it holds before the gas is ever turned back on.
Appliance connections
Cookers, heaters and gas water units all rely on sound connections, so we check and reseat each one, swapping out the perished hoses and bayonets that older kitchens across the suburb quietly carry.
Heritage terraces, cottages and units each fail their own way

Common gas faults we make safe
A faint ongoing smell
A rotten-egg odour that comes and goes usually signals a small, steady escape at a fitting or appliance, and it warrants a call even when it seems minor, because a leak never seals itself.
A pilot that keeps dropping
A gas appliance whose pilot will not stay lit can point to a faulty valve or a supply fault further upstream, both of which want checking before the unit is leaned on again.
Why acting fast on a gas leak matters
A gas leak is the one plumbing fault where waiting is never worth the gamble, because the danger it carries reaches well beyond the cost of the repair itself:
Gas is a safety risk
Small leaks grow
Compliance protects you
How it works
How we make it safe, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0502 and describe what's happening, and a licensed plumber, not an answering machine, will tell you what it likely means, what to stop using, and when we can realistically be there.
- 02
Quote before work
Your plumber inspects the job properly, runs whatever diagnosis it genuinely needs, and hands you a single fixed written price covering the complete fix, with a $0 call out fee and nothing added afterwards.
- 03
Isolate and repair
After you sign off, we isolate the supply, renew the failed fitting to standard and pressure-test the entire line, restoring the gas only once the system proves tight and every appliance relights cleanly and safely, tying in with our gas hot water systems work where a heater is involved.

Backed for life
Everything we complete is covered by our Lifetime Labour Warranty, the promise that outlasts the job itself: if it's not right, we come back. No questions. No cost.
Why choose Your Plumber Botany
Fixed prices, kept
Every job is priced upfront in plain writing before any work starts, the invoice always matches that number, and weekend or late-evening timing changes nothing, because overtime rates simply don't exist here.
Licensed and insured
Your Plumber Botany works under licence #275278C with full insurance behind every job, and the compliance certificates that protect your home's paperwork trail arrive with the invoice, without you ever needing to ask for them.
Lifetime Labour Warranty
Workmanship here is guaranteed for life under our Lifetime Labour Warranty rather than for a warranty card's fine-print window, which says more about how the work is done in the first place than any advertisement could.
Genuinely local response
We work these streets constantly rather than commuting in from across Sydney, so the van reaching you has usually just left a job nearby, stocked for the faults the local houses actually develop.
Where we work
Areas we service
A suspected gas leak gets the same urgent attention beyond the suburb, across Mascot, Pagewood, Eastgardens, Banksmeadow and Rosebery, each answered day or night by a licensed plumber at one price put in writing.
Good questions, straight answers
Gas leak questions Botany locals ask
I can smell gas indoors, what now?
Leave the property, avoid switches and flames, open a door on the way out, turn the meter valve off if it is safe to reach, then call from outside.
Is the team licensed for gas work?
Yes, the whole team holds licence #275278C and is fully insured, and the gas compliance certificate lands with your invoice as a matter of course.
Do you charge to come out for a suspected leak?
No, checking a suspected leak is free of charge, and any repair is settled on paper before it begins, never after.
Why do older homes here develop gas leaks?
Many keep decades-old fittings updated only in stages over the years, and the briny coastal air wears exposed pipe and unions faster than it does inland.
Can you check my gas after a renovation?
Yes, we pressure-test the lines and every appliance connection, bringing any old fitting up to current standard so the whole system is proven tight and safe to use.
Is the gas repair guaranteed?
Yes, every gas repair carries a lifelong guarantee on our labour, so anything we did that proves faulty we make good at our own cost.
