Right now
Get clear first, work out what's wrong second
Trying to trace a gas smell yourself, indoors or out near a shed, achieves nothing except keeping you close to the risk. Once everyone's outside and properly clear, call (02) 9072 0511 and tell us plainly what you're noticing, and a licensed plumber has someone on the road toward you within moments.
Cottages backing onto the bush carry the oldest fittings
Properties along Lane Cove Road, some backing directly onto the Katandra Bushland Sanctuary at the escarpment edge, include cottages built in the 1920s and 1930s when nurseries first carved up this part of the plateau, and quite a few have never had their gas pipework swapped out.
None of that ageing shows on the outside. A fitting can look perfectly fine right up until the seal inside it finally gives way, and the household usually only finds out once there's already a smell to deal with.
Do not wait on this
Smell gas? Do this, in order
- 1
Get everyone off the property
Move everyone well clear of the building itself, and off the property entirely if you can, without stopping to gather belongings on your way, and don't head back inside for any reason until we've said the property's clear.
- 2
Leave everything exactly as it is
Skip the lights, skip plugging anything in, skip lighting so much as a match on your way past, and save the phone call for once you're properly outdoors, because igniting an active leak is the one outcome nothing can undo.
- 3
Check outbuildings, not just the house
On acreage, check the shed, glasshouse or machinery bay along with the house itself, because gas pipework can run to any of them, and a leak out there deserves exactly the same urgency as one indoors.
- 4
Call once you're a safe distance away
Once you and everyone else have genuinely put distance between yourselves and the house, call (02) 9072 0511, and don't hang up, because a plumber wants to walk you through the next part while a gasfitter is already on the road.
New trenching is a common trigger out here
Working holdings along Manor Road and the nursery blocks scattered nearby regularly get new irrigation trenches, post holes and garden beds dug without a full check of what's actually buried first.
A shallow line doesn't ask permission before it's damaged. Dig a trench a little deeper than intended, or sink a post in slightly the wrong spot, and a supply line running to the house or a shed can end up split without anyone realising at the time, the smell only turning up hours or days later.
What's actually behind most of the leaks we find
Fittings that have simply aged
A connection can sit completely undisturbed for half a century and still be quietly failing the whole time, because corrosion inside a joint doesn't need attention to keep progressing, only time, and most households have no idea anything's amiss until that first faint whiff turns up.
Lines disturbed by digging or building work
Fresh trenching, a new fence post or renovation work near an original run is enough to crack or loosen a fitting that had sat undisturbed for years, and the leak it causes often only shows up later.
Why a gas leak is never worth waiting on
- A tiny spark is genuinely all it takes Flicking a switch out of habit, striking a match or lighting up a phone screen indoors can set off gas that's already built up, which is exactly why getting out comes before checking anything yourself.
- Staying near it adds up fast Nobody should linger in a house carrying a gas smell longer than it takes to walk out, whatever the strength of that smell happens to be.
- A leak left running drains more than the tank Every hour it goes unnoticed shows up eventually on the bill, and a fault caught early is almost always the smaller job to put right.
How it works
Fixing it properly, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0511 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
Traced, fixed, documented
The actual source gets pinned down with proper detection gear rather than guesswork, a genuinely qualified gasfitter completes the repair on the spot wherever parts allow, and you're handed a plain written record of what was wrong and how it was put right.
- 04
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 Ingleside
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 Ingleside 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
This crew's gasfitters take calls from right across the plateau, covering Ingleside itself plus Elanora Heights, North Narrabeen, Warriewood, Terrey Hills and Narrabeen, whatever the size of the block.
Good questions, straight answers
Gas leak questions from around Ingleside
A gas smell's coming from near the shed rather than the house itself. Does that still count as urgent?
Yes, treat any gas smell on the property the same way regardless of where it's coming from, because supply lines feeding a shed or glasshouse carry exactly the same risk as anything running into the house.
How far does a gasfitter actually travel for a call like this?
The whole property, right out to sheds, glasshouses and troughs, sits inside the one callout, and distance across a bigger block never changes the urgency or adds anything to the price.
We dug a new irrigation trench near the nursery beds last week. Could that be behind it?
Very possibly, a buried supply line sitting shallower than expected is an easy thing for a trench or a post hole to catch, and the smell often only shows up days after the digging's done.
Is confirming whether there's actually a leak covered by the $0 call out fee?
Entirely, yes. A gasfitter comes out, checks the property properly and gives you an honest answer either way, and that visit costs nothing whether a genuine fault turns up or not.
The cottage's gas fittings have never once been checked since the place was built. Worth arranging before anything smells wrong?
Genuinely worth it, fittings that old are usually well past a sensible check, and confirming they're sound now beats finding out the hard way overnight.
Do we need to meet you at the gate, or can someone just let you straight onto the property?
Either works well, though a quick call ahead with directions or a gate code saves real time once a gasfitter's genuinely on the way out to you.
