How Our Gas Testing And Analysis Works

Our comprehensive gas analysis process is designed to be highly accurate and entirely transparent, giving you complete peace of mind. Here is a step-by-step breakdown of how we deliver our testing services:Visual Inspection and Diagnostics: We begin by thoroughly examining your gas appliances, pipework, and flues. We check for visible signs of wear, corrosion, or inadequate ventilation that could impact safe operation.Tightness Testing: Using highly sensitive pressure gauges, we conduct gas tightness tests to confirm the integrity of your pipework. This step is essential for detecting even the smallest, imperceptible gas leaks within your property.Combustion and Flue Gas Analysis: We utilise electronic flue gas analysers to measure the exact ratio of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and oxygen being produced by your appliances. This ensures your boiler or commercial cooker is burning fuel efficiently and safely.Gas Purging: For larger commercial systems or new installations, we perform safe gas purging to remove air or existing gas from the pipework before introducing a live gas supply, eliminating the risk of explosive mixtures.Certification and Reporting: Following the analysis, we provide you with a detailed, traceable report. If everything meets standard, we issue the relevant paperwork, such as a CP12 for landlords or a CP42 for commercial catering setups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gas tightness test and why do I need one?A tightness test is a procedure used to check for leaks within your gas pipework. By measuring pressure drops within the system, our engineers can determine if gas is escaping. It is a vital safety measure required during routine servicing, new installations, or if a leak is suspected.How often should commercial gas appliances be analysed?Under UK law, all commercial gas appliances, including commercial catering equipment and industrial boilers, must undergo an annual gas safety inspection (CP42). However, for heavily used systems, we recommend more frequent combustion analysis to maintain efficiency and prevent unexpected breakdowns.Can you detect gas leaks that are hidden behind walls or underground?Yes. Alongside our pressure-based tightness testing, Fact Services utilises advanced diagnostic techniques, including thermal imaging and trace gas detection, to pinpoint leaks hidden beneath flooring, behind walls, or underground, minimising disruptive digging or dismantling.

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.
