MJP Plumbing is a licensed gas fitter servicing Sunshine Coast residents homes and businesses across the Sunshine Coast. We carry out safe, compliant gas appliance installations, cooktop connections, hot water system connections, leak detection and ongoing maintenance — with compliance certificates issued for all notifiable gas work.
Our team completes gas hot water installation, cooktop installation, appliance connections and new supply line projects to AS/NZS 5601, the Australian Gas Installations standard. Whether you need a cooktop connected, a hot water unit replaced, a leak repaired or a new supply line installed for a renovation or new build, MJP Plumbing manages the job from first assessment through to pressure testing and final sign-off.
We provide a full range of gas fitting, cooktop, hot water, leak detection and maintenance services across the Sunshine Coast, including:
Gas Cooktop Install & Connection
We install cooktops for new kitchens, upgrades and renovations. Each cooktop installation can include flexible hose connection, regulator checks, ventilation assessment and a full pressure test before handover. This helps ensure your cooktop is installed correctly, safely and ready for everyday use.
Gas Hot Water System Installation
We install and connect hot water units, including instantaneous continuous flow and storage systems, for residential and commercial properties. We work with natural gas and LPG supply and coordinate compliance paperwork where required.
Gas Appliances — Ovens, Heaters & Outdoor Points
Beyond cooktops and hot water, we install compatible appliances including ovens, space heaters and outdoor BBQ connection points. Each installation includes correct positioning, secure connection, leak checks and pressure testing.
Gas Leak Detection & Repairs
If you can smell gas, notice a drop in appliance performance or receive a higher than usual bill, we can carry out pressure testing, leak detection and repairs to faulty fittings, joints or pipework. Gas leaks should always be treated seriously — call us immediately on 0428 146 437.
New Gas Supply Lines & Pipe Installation
For new builds, extensions and renovations, we install supply pipework from the meter or LPG source to each appliance point. Pipework is sized correctly for the expected load and installed to meet relevant requirements.
LPG & Natural Gas Fitting
We work with both LPG and natural gas systems, including cylinder connections, mains supply, regulators, fittings and appliance changeovers. We can advise which setup best suits your property, usage and available supply.
Gas Safety Inspections & Compliance Certificates
We carry out safety inspections on existing systems for pre-sale checks, rental properties, renovations and peace of mind. Where required, we issue Form 4 Certificates of Inspection for notifiable gas connections and installations in Queensland.
Ongoing Gas Maintenance
We provide ongoing maintenance for residential, rental, commercial and hospitality properties across the Sunshine Coast. Regular maintenance helps keep appliances running efficiently and can identify leaks, worn fittings or safety issues before they become larger problems.
Safe practices are essential for protecting your property, family, staff and the ongoing performance of connected appliances. MJP Plumbing completes all fitting, connection, leak detection, maintenance and hot water services in accordance with relevant Australian Standards, with testing and certification provided where required.
Homeowners
We help with cooktop connections, hot water system replacements, new appliance fittings, leak checks, safety assessments and ongoing maintenance. If you’re unsure whether your existing system needs attention, we’re happy to inspect and advise.
Builders & Renovators
We provide reliable scheduling and clear communication for new builds and staged renovations where gas rough-in, cooktop placement, hot water connections and compliance documentation need to coordinate with other trades.
Commercial & Hospitality Properties
Cafes, restaurants, offices and retail spaces rely on safe cooktops, hot water, appliances and regular maintenance. We carry out commercial gas fitting with the compliance records, gas safety checks and documentation your business requires.
Safe, Licensed & Compliant Gas Work
All gas work in Queensland must be performed by a licensed fitter. It is illegal to connect, alter or repair any gas appliance, cooktop, fitting or pipework yourself, and unlicensed work may not be covered by home insurance in the event of an incident.
MJP Plumbing holds a current Queensland gas fitting licence and carries full public liability insurance. Every job includes pressure testing on completion, and we issue compliance certificates for all notifiable gas work as required under the Gas Supply Act 2003 (Qld).
Our process on every job:
- Assess your existing supply, appliance specifications and compliance requirements
- Complete all connection, cooktop, hot water and installation work to AS/NZS 5601
- Check for leaks and pressure-test the full system before handover
- Issue a compliance certificate where required
- Provide clear communication and upfront pricing throughout
LPG vs Natural Gas
LPG and natural gas systems use different supply methods, regulators and appliance settings. Natural gas is usually supplied through the mains network, while LPG is commonly supplied through cylinders or bulk storage.
MJP Plumbing works with both LPG and natural gas for cooktops, hot water units, outdoor points and appliance connections. We can check your existing setup, confirm compatibility and complete the required gas safety testing before use.
Compliance Certificates
Compliance certificates help confirm that notifiable gas work has been completed by a licensed gas fitter and tested in line with Queensland requirements. This is important for safety, insurance, property sales, rentals and renovation records.
Where required, MJP Plumbing provides the correct certification for gas cooktop installation, hot water connections, new supply lines, LPG fitting and other notifiable work.
What Should I Do If I Smell Gas?
If you smell gas in your home or business:
- Turn off the gas supply at the meter or cylinder if safe to do so
- Avoid open flames and do not use electrical switches or appliances
- Leave the area and ventilate by opening doors and windows
- Contact a licensed fitter or emergency service immediately
Never attempt to locate or repair a gas leak yourself. Call MJP Plumbing on 0428 146 437 or, in an emergency, contact your gas supplier or 000.
