Gas Tightness Testing
A full examination of your gas distribution pipework, from the main meter to every appliance, with schematic drawings if you need them.
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 put a duty on every employer to keep gas pipework at their workplace in a safe condition. The Institution of Gas Engineers & Managers recommends a full inspection at least every five years.
Gas tightness testing finds leaks, flags incorrect pressures and catches wear before it becomes a hazard. Our engineers follow IGEM/UP/1 and IGEM/UP/1A procedures, and we can draw up a full gas schematic of your site.
What's included
- Tightness test to IGEM/UP/1 & 1A
- Let-by testing of valves
- Pressure checks at appliances
- Visual pipework inspection
- Gas schematic diagrams
- Test certificate

FAQ
Questions we get asked
Will we lose gas during the test?
Supply is isolated briefly while the test runs. We plan it around your opening hours, early mornings, weekends or holidays if needed.
How often should our equipment be serviced?
At least once a year. Ideally heating in autumn and air conditioning in spring. Oil-fired equipment really should be cleaned and serviced every year.
Why service if nothing is wrong?
Better reliability, problems caught early, lower running costs, longer equipment life and a safer building. It's also usually a legal requirement.
