This includes assessing burners, testing flame failure devices, and verifying that working pressures are correct and safe.Gas Interlock System Verification: We thoroughly test your gas interlock system to ensure the gas supply is automatically isolated in the event of a ventilation failure, protecting your staff from dangerous carbon monoxide build-up.Once the inspection is complete, we provide a detailed, itemised report of our findings.
