Atteridgeville is one of Pretoria's oldest established communities, with formal housing stock stretching back decades and a dense layer of extensions, backyard units and small businesses built onto it. Gas cooking is widespread and most of it predates anyone thinking about a certificate.
The practical work here is turning informal setups into properly installed ones: a fixed hob, a compliant cylinder position, a secure cage and paperwork that holds up with an insurer.

Ranges are for sanity-checking. Quotes are for deciding.
Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Buy exchange, not decanted gas. Decanting from a large cylinder into a small one is illegal and the leading cause of serious LPG incidents. Use a supplier that exchanges brand-matched cylinders.
- A 9kg cylinder is enough for a hob. It runs a four-plate hob for four to eight weeks. Paying for 48kg capacity you will not use is a common and avoidable over-spec.
- Fixed beats portable. A properly installed hob with a regulator and a rigid line is safer and cheaper to run than a loose unit on a hose, and only the fixed version can be certified.
- Food businesses are certified annually. Takeaways and taverns using gas are commercial premises for certification purposes, and it is what an insurer will look for after a claim.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a gas hob installation in Atteridgeville?
R4,500 to R7,500 for a four-plate hob on a new 9kg cylinder with the line and regulator, excluding the hob. On an existing gas point it is R1,600 to R3,200.
What size cylinder do I need for cooking?
A 9kg cylinder is the normal choice for a hob and runs four to eight weeks for most households. You only need 48kg once a geyser or a second appliance joins it.
Is my existing gas setup legal?
If a registered installer fitted it and issued a certificate, yes. If not, an inspection tells you what it needs, and most findings are cheap to fix individually.
Do I need a certificate for a takeaway or tavern?
For a fixed gas installation on commercial premises, yes, and annually in practice. Installers price it after seeing the appliances.
How do I stop the cylinder being stolen?
A bolted wall cage, R1,600 to R3,500 supplied and installed for a 9kg or 19kg cylinder, or R3,500 to R7,000 for a floor-standing 48kg cage.
How much is a gas CoC here?
R950 to R2,200 for a single appliance and R1,600 to R3,800 where there are several gas points.
