Aegis Plumbing provides fully licensed gas fitting services across Melbourne’s western suburbs, with all work completed in accordance with current Victorian safety and compliance standards. Gas work is never subcontracted — you deal directly with the licensed gas fitter carrying out the job, ensuring installations, repairs and inspections are handled correctly from start to finish.
Gas-related issues can present serious safety risks if not assessed properly. Whether it’s a suspected gas leak, appliance connection, carbon monoxide concern or system upgrade, accurate diagnosis and compliant workmanship are essential to protecting people and property.
If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the gas supply if safe to do so and call 0428 220 022 immediately to speak directly with a licensed gas fitter.
When Gas Work Requires a Licensed Professional
In Victoria, gas fitting must be carried out by a licensed practitioner to ensure safety and compliance with state regulations. Incorrect installation or unauthorised repairs can result in gas leaks, carbon monoxide exposure or appliance failure.
If you suspect a gas leak, notice unusual appliance behaviour, or are upgrading a system, proper assessment is critical. Gas issues should never be treated as DIY tasks or temporary fixes.

Gas Fitting Across Melbourne’s Western Suburbs
Many established homes in suburbs such as Altona, Newport, Williamstown and Footscray still operate with older gas lines or legacy appliance connections. Over time, fittings can deteriorate, valves can wear, and connections may require updating to meet current standards.
In growth areas such as Tarneit, Point Cook and Wyndham Vale, gas fitting work more commonly involves new appliance installations, system upgrades or compliance checks following renovations.
Because I work exclusively across Melbourne’s western suburbs, these property patterns are recognised quickly — ensuring safe and compliant gas work tailored to the age and layout of the property.
Gas Work Done Properly and Safely
Gas work should never be rushed or handled by unlicensed trades. Every gas fitting job is completed in accordance with Victorian regulations, with safety checks carried out to ensure appliances and pipework operate correctly. Clear advice is provided before any work begins, so you understand what’s required and why.
When safety is involved, precision matters more than speed — and every step is taken carefully to protect your household.
