What to know locally in Western Cape
Salt air in Sea Point, Muizenberg and Gordon's Bay rusts cages, valves and regulators, so choose coated cages and check test dates. Warehouses in Montague Gardens, Epping and Airport Industria run LPG forklifts on exchange cages, and workshops in Brackenfell and Paarden Eiland rent welding gas. Event companies in Cape Town and Stellenbosch hire helium for weddings and parties.
Western Cape: the supply, the weather and the buildings
The Western Cape has a wet, cold winter and a dry, windy summer, and gas covers both. LPG comes through coastal supply points and by road to dealers, refill stations and delivery services from Cape Town to George. Many Cape Town households switched to gas hobs and geysers during load shedding, and restaurants in the city, the Winelands and along the Garden Route cook on 48 kg banks or bulk tanks. Wine farms around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Worcester use gas in kitchens, tasting rooms and patio heaters. Salt air on the Atlantic and False Bay coasts rusts cages and valves. Complexes and estates often limit where cylinders stand, so check with the body corporate first.
Typical gas leak detection and repairs requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a leak call out for a gas smell near the stove, geyser or heater
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: pressure tests on shared gas lines and leak checks before units are sold
- Restaurants, takeaways and bakeries: fast leak repairs on kitchen ranges and fryers, plus detectors near the line
