When Should You Call for Gas Leak Detection?
A suspected gas leak should always be treated seriously. Gas has a distinctive smell because an odorant is added to help people identify a potential problem.
​
You should seek professional help if you notice:
-
A strong or unusual smell of gas
-
Hissing sounds around gas pipework or appliances
-
A gas appliance behaving unusually
-
Damage to visible gas pipework
-
Unexpected changes in gas appliance performance
-
Concerns following plumbing, building or renovation work
-
A suspected leak around a gas connection
-
A gas safety inspection identifying a potential issue
​
Our engineers can investigate the installation and determine whether further testing or repair is required.

Our Gas Leak Detection Service
Initial Assessment
We begin by understanding what you have noticed, where the suspected problem is located and which gas appliances or pipework may be involved.
Gas Installation Inspection
We inspect accessible gas pipework, connections and relevant appliances to identify visible signs of damage or other potential problems.
Leak Detection Testing
Appropriate testing methods are used to investigate the suspected gas leak and establish whether the gas installation is maintaining its required integrity.
Fault Identification
Where possible, we identify the location or source of the suspected leak and explain what has been found.
Safety Advice
If a fault or unsafe condition is identified, we explain the immediate considerations and what work may be required to make the installation safe.
Repair Recommendation
Where repair work is appropriate, we can explain the required gas pipework or appliance-related work and provide the next step.
Common Gas Leak Problems We Investigate
01
Gas Pipework Leaks
Damaged, deteriorated or incorrectly connected pipework can create a potential gas leak. We inspect accessible pipework and connections as part of the investigation.
02
Appliance Connections
A problem around an appliance connection can potentially affect the gas installation. We can assess the relevant connection and associated pipework.
03
Gas Cooker Connections
If you suspect a problem around a gas cooker or its supply connection, professional assessment is important before the appliance is used again.
04
Boiler Gas Connections
A suspected leak around a boiler or its gas supply should be investigated by a suitably qualified gas engineer.
05
Gas Fire Connections
Gas fires and their associated pipework can also require inspection where a leak is suspected.
06
Post-Installation Concerns
If you notice a problem following gas appliance installation, renovation or pipework alterations, we can assess the relevant installation.

A suspected gas leak in a commercial property can create serious disruption to normal operations. Gas installations serving commercial premises may also involve multiple appliances, longer pipe runs and more complex arrangements.
