A gas smell is never something to sit on. Milsons Point packs thousands of households into twenty hectares beside the Harbour Bridge, so a leak at one cooktop, one shared riser or one plant room puts a whole tower on edge.
Our team treats every suspected leak as the emergency it is: licensed gas work, a $0 call out fee, and a fixed written price before we touch a tool.

Do not wait on this
Do this now
Natural gas has no scent of its own, so the rotten-egg odour added to it exists purely as an alarm. If you can smell it, a leak is live somewhere between the meter and an appliance.
- Air the rooms as you leave, and prop exterior doors open behind you
- Do not flip light switches or anything else that can spark
- Shut the gas at the meter if the valve is accessible, a quarter turn is all it takes
- Call (02) 9072 0528 from outside, away from the building, and stay off the lift
If the smell is strong, if anyone feels dizzy or nauseous, or if you hear hissing near a line, leave immediately. Evacuation beats investigation every time.
The likely causes, common ones first
Cooktop and oven connections. The most frequent culprit in apartment living is a dried or loose fitting behind a cooktop, often after a move, a renovation or a clean where something was nudged. It is usually the smallest job on the list, and we complete and test it on the spot.
Appliance hoses and regulators. Bayonet points for heaters, regulators on older gas appliances and perished connector hoses all leak with age. Connections exposed to salt-laden southerlies off the harbour corrode faster than inland homes ever see, so fittings that would last decades elsewhere fail early here.
Risers and shared lines. The interwar art deco walk-ups still run original pipework behind rendered walls, and lines of that vintage deserve the same suspicion as the suburb's famous 1930s galvanised water risers. Boom-era 1990s towers add their own legacy, with quick-fix fittings hidden in risers and ceiling spaces surfacing as faults decades later.
Central plant and meter rooms. Buildings with gas hot water or heating carry shared plant, and a fault there belongs to the whole building, not one unit. We isolate, document and report so committees can act on evidence rather than guesswork.

What you can safely check
Only what needs no tools and no risk.
- Confirm cooktop knobs are fully off and a heater's pilot has gone out rather than leaked
- Look and listen for anything obvious hissing at an accessible appliance connection
Do not go hunting inside walls, ceiling spaces or plant rooms. In New South Wales gas fitting is legally restricted to licensed operators for good reason, so anything beyond an arm's-reach check is our work, not yours.
When to call, and what happens next
Call the moment you smell gas, not after you have aired the place out and decided it has faded. A leak that weakens with ventilation is still a leak, and gas pooling in a closed bedroom or a basement plant room is the version of this problem nobody wants.
We answer around the clock, including weekends and public holidays, and we will talk you through isolation at the meter while we are on the way.
Once we arrive, the sequence is the same every time: test, trace, isolate, repair
Your price comes next, in writing
Every gas job finishes with testing and a compliance certificate, because the paperwork protects you, your neighbours and your building's records.
If the fault turns out to sit at a hot water system rather than a cooktop, the hot water repair page covers what a repair involves, and our gas hot water systems page covers the replacement path when a unit is past saving.
Gas work in buildings like these
Shared plant, shared risk
A leak traced to a common line becomes a committee conversation, and that is where our documentation earns its keep: photographs, a clear written fault description and a fixed quote give owners corporations what they need to approve work without another site visit.
Access shapes the plan
We work these constraints constantly, so the van arrives stocked for the fittings these buildings actually use and the plan accounts for how parts and people actually reach your floor.
How it works
How the job runs, step by step
- 01
Call and tell us
Ring (02) 9072 0528 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
Test, trace and make safe
Detection equipment pinpoints the leak, the affected line is isolated so the rest of the supply stays safe, and we follow the fault back to its true source, whether that sits at an appliance connection, a shared riser or the meter assembly itself.
- 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 Milsons Point
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 Milsons Point 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 across the bridge's north side
We cover every adjoining suburb with the same licensed gas response, the same $0 call out and the same fixed-price promise: Kirribilli, Lavender Bay, McMahons Point, North Sydney and Kurraba Point, across the whole patch.
Good questions, straight answers
Gas leak questions our neighbours ask
What should I do first if I smell gas in my apartment?
Air the rooms as you leave, avoid switches and flames, turn the supply off at the meter where you can safely reach it, then call us from outside so a licensed plumber can attend.
Can I use my cooktop if I only smell gas briefly?
No. Any gas smell means a leak or an incomplete burn somewhere in the line, and using the appliance again before it is tested risks making a small fault dangerous.
Do you handle gas leaks in strata buildings?
Yes, we work across shared buildings constantly, isolate faults safely, document what we find with photographs, and provide the paperwork committees need before approving repairs.
How much does a gas leak callout cost?
The call out fee is $0, and you receive a fixed written price covering the complete diagnosis and repair before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Is gas work included in your licence?
Yes, gas fitting sits inside our plumbing licence #275278C, every job is insured, and compliance certificates come with the completed work as standard.
Can a gas leak affect apartments below mine?
It can, because gas travels through risers, ceiling spaces and shared plant rooms, which is why a suspected leak anywhere in a building needs a licensed response, not a wait and see.
