A few early villa suburbs like Devonport and Northcote Point, then mass suburban growth after the 1959 Harbour Bridge, through to the large 1990s and 2000s developments around Albany. We respond to gas leaks around the clock across Auckland. We make the area safe, locate the leak with proper test equipment, repair or replace the faulty pipe, fitting or appliance part, pressure test the system and certify the work before the gas goes back on.
Gas leaks across the North Shore: what changes by suburb
Gas leaks on the North Shore look different depending on where you live. In Devonport and Northcote Point, older villas can have decades-old steel pipe under the floor. In Glenfield and Browns Bay, homes from the post-bridge boom of the 1960s and 1970s often have mixed fittings added over time. In Albany, newer homes have fewer old pipes but more concealed runs inside walls and slabs, which makes careful section-by-section testing important.
The clay soils of the inner Shore shrink and swell, which can stress buried lines and the risers at meters, especially after a dry summer. Coastal suburbs from Takapuna to the East Coast Bays expose outdoor regulators and bottles to salt air, which corrodes seals over time. Around Lake Pupuke and Devonport, buried pipe may sit in volcanic rock, so finding the exact spot before digging saves real effort.
We respond 24/7 right across the Shore. When you call, a person talks you through making the house safe, and on site we isolate the supply, pressure test and trace the leak one section at a time. LPG pools low and natural gas rises, so we adjust where we look to suit your supply. Common culprits we test first are old threaded joints, perished appliance hoses and regulators that have been in the weather for years. After the repair, we test the whole system, relight appliances and issue the certificate before leaving.
Local tip: If you are on LPG anywhere on the North Shore, a gas detector should be mounted low near the floor, not on the ceiling.

Gas Leak Repairs North Shore FAQs
Do you attend gas leaks anywhere on the North Shore at night?
Yes. We respond 24/7 from Devonport to Albany, and a person answers the phone to talk you through making the house safe.
Who is responsible for a gas leak at the meter?
Leaks on your side of the meter are the property owner's responsibility. If the leak is at or before the meter, the gas network needs to be contacted. We can help you work out which it is.
What should I do if I smell gas in my house?
Do not use switches or flames, turn off the gas at the meter or bottles if safe, open doors and windows, get everyone outside and call from there. Call 111 if the smell is strong.
