What's usually behind it in Balaclava
Balaclava terraces usually have the meter at the front and appliances at the back, so new gas runs need careful routing through tight spaces.
Gas work has to be done by a licensed gas fitter and certified. We repair leaks, run new gas lines, connect cooktops, ovens, heaters and BBQs, and issue the compliance paperwork when we're done.
Balaclava has plenty of older cottages and terraces on narrow blocks, where the sewer often runs under the house and access down the side is tight.
When to call
