How Our Gas Testing and Analysis Works

Our comprehensive gas testing and analysis services are designed to rigorously check every component of your gas installation. We follow a highly systematic approach to ensure total safety and operational efficiency:Tightness Testing: We conduct precise pressure tests on your gas pipework. By connecting specialist gauges and measuring for minute pressure drops, we can detect even the smallest, most hidden gas leaks within your domestic or commercial property.Flue Gas Analysis: Using state-of-the-art digital combustion analysers, we measure the exact ratio of gases escaping your boiler's flue. This ensures your appliance is burning fuel efficiently and, crucially, is not producing dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.Visual and Diagnostic Inspections: We thoroughly inspect gas meters, pipework runs, commercial catering interlocks, and heating controls. Our engineers check for adequate ventilation, secure fittings, and any signs of component degradation that could compromise safety.From modern domestic central heating systems to complex mobile catering LPG setups, our diagnostic process ensures every component is operating exactly as the manufacturer intended.

This reduces energy waste and actively lowers your monthly heating and operational bills.Carbon Monoxide Prevention: Carbon monoxide is a silent, odourless threat.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gas tightness test?A tightness test is a specific diagnostic procedure used to check your entire gas pipework infrastructure for leaks. We connect a highly precise pressure gauge to your system and monitor it for any drop in pressure, which clearly indicates that gas is escaping. This allows us to secure the system before it becomes a hazard.How often should I arrange flue gas analysis?Flue gas analysis should ideally be carried out annually as part of your routine boiler service. It is also highly recommended if your boiler is making unusual noises, performing poorly, or if you are proactively preparing your heating system before the heavy winter usage begins.What should I do if I suspect a gas leak in Brownhills?If you smell gas or your carbon monoxide alarm activates, turn off your gas supply at the emergency control valve immediately. Extinguish all naked flames, open your windows and doors to ventilate the area, and do not switch any electrical items on or off.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional gas testing and analysis services in Wolverhampton & West Midlands

  • Advanced Tools: While some firms use basic tools, we invest in thermal imaging and the latest digital gas analysers for pinpoint accuracy.
  • Fully Insured: We carry full Public Liability Insurance for your peace of mind.
  • 24/7 Response: Gas issues don't always happen during office hours. We offer emergency call-outs for urgent leaks or safety concerns.

What is a flue gas analysis?

+

This is a test where we place a probe into the flue of your boiler or heater. It measures the mix of gases being expelled. It’s the most accurate way to check if your appliance is burning fuel safely and efficiently. If there is too much carbon monoxide or too little oxygen, we know the system needs adjustment.

How often should I have my gas appliances tested in Wolverhampton?

+

For most domestic homes, an annual check is the standard. If you are a landlord, this is a legal requirement every 12 months. For commercial kitchens or industrial sites with high usage, you might need more frequent analysis to stay compliant with health and safety laws.

Can you detect gas leaks that are hidden under the floor?

+

Yes. We use a combination of pressure testing and thermal imaging. If your gas meter shows a drop in pressure but you can’t smell gas, it’s often a tiny leak under floorboards or behind walls. Our tech helps us find the source without ripping up your entire house.

Is carbon monoxide testing included in a standard service?

+

At Fact Services, yes. We believe a service isn't complete without a full combustion analysis. We check the air quality around the appliance and the output from the flue to make sure your family or staff are not at risk.

What happens if my appliance fails the gas test?

+

If we find a fault that makes the appliance unsafe, we will explain exactly what the issue is. We will then provide a quote to fix it. Our priority is your safety, so we will never leave a dangerous situation unresolved.
