Olievenhoutbosch has grown faster than almost anywhere in Centurion, and it has grown in every direction at once: subsidised housing, bonded family homes, new townhouse complexes and a dense backyard rental market all inside the same few square kilometres.
Each of those wants a different gas installation, and the thing they share is small stands. Where the cylinder can legally stand is the question that decides most jobs here.

Being on the Centurion side helps: installer coverage through Centurion and Midrand is good, so travel lines are uncommon here despite the distance from Pretoria East. If a quote carries one, it is worth asking where the installer is based.
Ranges are for sanity-checking. Quotes are for deciding.
Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Clearances bind hardest on small stands. Distances from windows, doors and drains are fixed regardless of erf size, so on a dense stand the compliant position is often the only position.
- Know which housing type you are in. A complex unit, a bonded house and a backyard room are three different jobs. Say which when you request quotes, or the numbers will not be comparable.
- Complexes rule on the cylinder first. In the newer schemes, trustee approval on cylinder position and screening comes before anything an installer can price.
- Exchange cylinders rather than decant. Refilling a small cylinder from a larger one at an informal outlet is illegal and dangerous. Use a supplier that exchanges brand-matched cylinders.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a gas hob installation cost in Olievenhoutbosch?
R4,500 to R7,500 for a hob on a new 9kg cylinder with the line and regulator, excluding the hob, and R1,600 to R3,200 where a compliant gas point already exists.
Can I install gas in a complex here?
Usually yes for a hob, subject to the scheme's rules on cylinder position and screening. Get written trustee approval before accepting a quote, because it can change the route.
Do installers charge travel to Olievenhoutbosch?
Rarely. Coverage through Centurion and Midrand is good, so most quotes here come from installers already working nearby.
Do I need a certificate for a backyard rental room?
For a fixed gas installation, yes, and it is worth having in your own name as the landlord. It is the first thing an insurer asks for after an incident.
What if there is no space for a cylinder?
There usually is one compliant position even on a tight stand, but it may not be the convenient one. An installer will identify it before quoting properly.
How much is a gas CoC?
R950 to R2,200 for a single appliance and R1,600 to R3,800 for a property with several gas points.
