Gas line testing uses pressure gauges to check whether your gas system holds pressure over a set period. A drop in pressure indicates a leak somewhere in the system. This test is carried out after new pipework is installed, after major gas work, when buying or selling a property, or when you want reassurance that an older Cardiff property’s gas system is sound. We carry out gas line testing across Cardiff and issue a written report of the results. Call +44 7812 510121 to book.
When You Need Gas Line Testing
Gas line testing is appropriate when you’ve just had new pipework installed, when a property has been empty for an extended period and you want to check the system before relighting appliances, when a gas smell has been reported but no obvious source found, or when a landlord or solicitor requires documented evidence that the system is safe. It’s also useful as part of a pre-purchase survey on older Cardiff properties with older pipework.
Our Gas Line Testing Process
We isolate the gas supply and connect a calibrated pressure gauge to the system. We pressurise the system to the required level and monitor it over the test period specified by Gas Safe standards. If the pressure holds, we issue a pass certificate. If it drops, we investigate and identify where gas is escaping before recommending the appropriate repair.
Gas Line Testing Cost in Cardiff
Testing costs are based on the size of the system and the number of appliances connected. It’s a straightforward job with a clear fixed price. If a fault is found, we quote for the repair separately.
Why Choose Us
Gas line testing requires calibrated equipment and a Gas Safe registered engineer to carry it out and certify the result. We carry out these tests regularly for Cardiff homeowners, landlords, and property buyers. Results are provided in writing and available for submission to solicitors or insurers.
