How Our Gas Testing and Analysis Works

When our Gas Safe registered engineers arrive at your property, we employ a meticulous, step-by-step approach to assess your entire gas infrastructure. Our priority is to accurately diagnose any underlying issues while minimising disruption to your day.Visual Inspection and Risk Assessment: We begin by examining all gas appliances, flues, and visible pipework for signs of wear, corrosion, or non-compliance.Tightness Testing: Using advanced manometers, we check your gas installation for pressure drops, ensuring there are no trace leaks within the system.Combustion and Flue Gas Analysis: We utilise sophisticated digital analysers to measure carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and oxygen ratios. This confirms that your boiler or commercial catering equipment is burning fuel safely and efficiently.Gas Purging: For commercial setups and larger pipework, we safely purge air or residual gas from the system, ensuring safe commissioning or decommissioning of gas lines.Once testing is complete, we provide a detailed, jargon-free report outlining our findings and any required remedial actions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my gas appliances analysed?For landlords and commercial premises, an annual gas safety check (CP12 or CP42) is a strict legal requirement.

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.
