Durban South takes in the whole south Durban basin, from the Bluff and Wentworth on the coast through Montclair, Woodlands and Yellowwood Park, and across to the industrial areas of Jacobs, Mobeni and Prospecton beside the refinery belt. It is a mix of family homes, flats, small businesses and heavy industry, and the gas work covers all of it.
Because the area spans both residential suburbs and factories, the most useful thing to tell an installer is what kind of site you have and exactly where it is. A hob in Woodlands and a process heat line in Prospecton go to very different installers. Tell us your suburb or industrial area and what needs doing.

Residential work in Durban South sits comfortably within these ranges, and travel is rarely an issue because the area is close to many installers. Industrial and bulk installations are priced separately from a site survey and fall into the commercial ranges.
Ranges are for sanity-checking. Quotes are for deciding.
Get Gas Installer QuotesWorth Knowing
- Say whether it's a home or a plant. Residential and industrial gas are different trades, and your site type decides which installers can quote.
- The Bluff is hard on fittings. Salt air and sea wind corrode regulators, hoses and cages quickly, so stainless or protected parts and regular checks are worth it.
- Industrial sites need site surveys. Bulk tanks, vaporisers and process equipment cannot be priced from a description alone.
- Small food businesses need certificates too. Takeaways and caterers using fixed gas need a commercial CoC for landlords and insurers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which parts of Durban South do installers cover?
Installers quoting through this site cover the south Durban basin broadly, but many focus on either residential or industrial work. Tell us your suburb and site type so we can match you properly.
Can I get factory and home quotes in one request?
It is better to submit them separately, because they go to different kinds of installer.
How much does a bulk LPG tank cost for a factory?
A customer-owned tank commonly runs R60,000 to R350,000 depending on capacity, before the base and reticulation. Supplier-owned tanks reduce the upfront cost.
Why does my regulator on the Bluff keep failing?
Salt air corrodes regulators and fittings close to the sea. Ask an installer about stainless or better-protected components and a yearly check.
What does a takeaway gas installation cost?
It depends on the number of appliances and the line run. Small commercial kitchens are quoted from a site visit, and the certificate is a commercial CoC.
Is a residential CoC priced differently in Durban South?
No. A single appliance is usually R950 to R2,200 and a home with several gas points R1,600 to R3,800.
