How Our Gas Testing and Analysis Works

We believe in a meticulous, transparent approach to diagnostics and testing. When our engineers visit your property in Halesowen, they follow a rigorous, step-by-step process to ensure nothing is overlooked:Visual Inspection: We begin by thoroughly examining your gas appliances, pipework, and ventilation. We look for obvious signs of wear, corrosion, or incorrect installation that could pose an immediate risk.Combustion Analysis: Using advanced digital flue gas analysers, we measure the exact ratio of gases (including carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide) being produced by your boiler or appliance. This confirms whether the fuel is burning efficiently and safely.Thermal Imaging Diagnostics: We often deploy infrared thermal imaging to identify hidden leaks, check radiator efficiency, and assess the thermal performance of your heating system without needing to lift floorboards unnecessarily.Pressure & Tightness Testing: We perform precise pressure drops across the gas meter and pipework to guarantee there are no microscopic gas leaks within your property.Certification & Reporting: Once the testing is complete, we provide clear written evidence of your appliance's safe operation, including issuing CP12 or CP42 certificates if required.

By analysing the combustion process, we can fine-tune your system to optimise performance and lower your monthly energy costs.Preventative Maintenance: Identifying minor wear and tear during testing allows us to repair small faults before they turn into costly, freezing winter breakdowns.Legal Compliance: For landlords and commercial business owners, comprehensive gas testing ensures you remain fully legally compliant, protecting you from heavy fines and liability.Ready to optimise your heating system?

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my gas appliances tested?We highly recommend that all gas boilers, fires, and cookers undergo a professional service and combustion analysis annually. For landlords and commercial premises, an annual check is a strict legal requirement.What is the difference between a CP12 and a CP42 certificate?A CP12 certificate is the standard Landlord Gas Safety Record required for domestic residential lettings. A CP42 certificate is the commercial equivalent, required for businesses, commercial catering kitchens, and larger non-domestic properties.Can gas analysis really help reduce my energy bills?Yes. Over time, boilers can drift from their optimal settings, causing them to burn more gas to produce the same amount of heat. Flue gas testing allows us to identify this inefficiency and adjust the burner to restore optimal performance, saving you money.What should I do if I suspect a gas leak?If you smell gas, turn off the supply at the emergency control valve by the meter immediately. Open all doors and windows, do not use any electrical switches or naked flames, and evacuate the property. Then, call the National Gas Emergency Service, followed by our emergency engineers on 01902 953454 for rapid repair.

"We had a persistent damp patch that another plumber couldn't find the source of. Fact Services came out to us in Dudley, used their thermal imaging camera, and pinpointed the hidden leak under the floorboards in minutes. Saved us from ripping up the whole living room floor. 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.
