How Our Gas Testing and Analysis Works

Our comprehensive testing process is meticulously designed to identify hidden faults, combustion issues, and tiny leaks before they become dangerous or expensive problems. Here is what you can expect when you book an assessment with us:Initial Safety Inspection: We begin with a thorough visual check of your gas appliances, pipework, and ventilation points to spot any obvious defects or wear.Gas Tightness Testing: Using specialist digital manometers, we measure the pressure in your gas pipework to detect any microscopic pressure drops that indicate a hidden gas leak.Flue Gas Combustion Analysis: We insert calibrated flue gas analysers into your system to measure the exact ratio of gases (such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) leaving your boiler or appliances, ensuring they are burning cleanly.Certification and Reporting: Following the analysis, we provide a detailed diagnostic report of our findings. If necessary, we can immediately issue commercial CP42 or domestic CP12 safety certificates.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a gas tightness test?A gas tightness test involves sealing off your property's gas supply at the meter and measuring the pressure within your pipework using a specialised gauge. If the pressure drops, it indicates that gas is escaping somewhere in the system. This allows us to mathematically confirm a leak, even if it is hidden out of sight.How often do I need commercial flue gas analysis?For commercial properties and catering environments, gas appliances and interlock systems must be tested and certified annually under UK Gas Safety Regulations. However, if you notice unusual smells, soot marks, yellow pilot lights, or efficiency drops, you should call us for an immediate diagnostic analysis.Are you available for emergency gas leak testing in Darlaston?Yes, we offer rapid response emergency call-outs. If you smell gas or suspect a severe leak, turn off your gas supply at the meter, open your windows, and call our emergency team immediately. We will arrive promptly to secure the site, conduct a tightness test, and trace the fault.

Outstanding 24/7 service!"

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Why Choose Fact Services?

+

Choosing a gas engineer is about trust. You are letting someone into your home or business to handle a potentially dangerous utility. Here is why locals trust Fact Services:

  • High-Level Expertise: We aren't just "handymen." We are technical specialists who understand the science of combustion and gas flow.
  • Accredited Installers: We are officially recognised by Bosch, Worcester, and Vaillant. We know these systems inside and out.
  • 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.
