Copper & GI
Gas Pipeline Repair & Installation — Copper and GI Lines
Kitchen renovations, a shifted platform or a new hob position all mean the gas line has to move — and a gas line is the one part of a kitchen that should never be improvised. Sunny runs copper and GI pipework to proper standards, concealed where you want it hidden, with every joint pressure-tested before the kitchen is handed back.

Why it is worth fixing rather than replacing
The parts that actually fail on gas appliances — jets, nozzles, ignition electrodes, thermocouples, knob spindles, gaskets, regulators — are inexpensive and individually replaceable. The appliance body, which is the expensive part, almost never fails. That is why replacing a whole stove or hob for an ignition fault is usually the wrong call, and why Sunny will tell you honestly when something genuinely is beyond economical repair rather than selling you work that will not last.
Every visit includes a safety check
Whatever the booked job, the visit finishes with a soap-solution leak test across the joints, valves and hose, plus a flame check on every burner. Gas work that skips this step is not finished work. If something outside the booked job needs attention, you are told about it and given the cost — not charged for it unannounced.
Frequently Asked Questions
Copper or GI pipe — which should I choose?
Copper is the usual choice for domestic kitchens: it is easier to route neatly, resists corrosion well and handles concealed runs cleanly. GI is heavier-duty and more common on commercial installations. Sunny will recommend based on your layout and load rather than defaulting to whichever is cheaper.
Can the pipeline be concealed inside the wall or platform?
Yes, with proper sleeving so the pipe is protected and any future leak vents safely rather than into the wall cavity. Concealed runs are planned before civil work starts wherever possible — retrofitting into finished granite is far more disruptive.
How long does a kitchen gas line installation take?
A straightforward re-route or extension is usually a few hours. A full kitchen installation depends on the run length and whether concealment is involved; you get a clear time and cost estimate after the site survey, before work starts.
