Gas Fitter in Newcastle
Donza Plumbing is a licensed gas fitter and plumber covering Newcastle from a base in Mannering Park. Jemena’s network distributes natural gas in Newcastle, and in the older streets the age of the fittings is the first thing we check. Josh holds the gas licence himself, so gas hot water, cooktops, heaters and leaks are done and certified on the one job.

Natural gas in Newcastle
Jemena’s network distributes natural gas in Newcastle. We confirm the connection at the property before quoting.
The age of the housing is the catch. Heritage-era fittings sometimes need bringing up to the current standard before a new appliance can be connected to them, and we check that before quoting.

Smell gas?

Local context
Gas work in Newcastle terraces and apartments
Most homes in Newcastle’s Census suburb are flats or apartments (92.8% of occupied dwellings in 2021). The older housing is in places such as the Newcastle East heritage conservation area, with two and three storey terraces and workers’ housing from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries. Shared party walls mean access for a repair has to be planned around the neighbouring property, and in an older terrace the existing gas fittings are checked before a new appliance is connected to them.

Good to know
Gas fitting in Newcastle: common questions
Do you take gas jobs in Newcastle?
Yes. Newcastle is the northern edge of the area we cover. It is a longer run from our Mannering Park base, and well within reach for jobs in the older streets.
The gas fittings in my terrace are old. Do they have to be replaced?
Not always. Heritage-era fittings sometimes need bringing up to the current standard, and that is assessed on site. Any gas work we do is tested and certified to AS/NZS 5601.
Can gas work be done in a terrace with shared walls?
Yes. Shared party walls mean the access has to be planned around the neighbouring property, so we look at the run before quoting.

Professional with high attention to detail
My husband spoke with Josh the owner about our hot water service in the afternoon. By the next day it was installed and working. Great service. Great price. Very impressed.
