How Our Gas Testing and Analysis Works

We follow a rigorous, step-by-step diagnostic process to evaluate the integrity and performance of your entire gas system. Our engineers arrive fully equipped to handle both natural gas (NG) and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) setups.Visual Inspection: We begin with a thorough physical assessment of your gas pipework, flues, and appliances to identify any obvious signs of wear, corrosion, or poor ventilation.Tightness Testing: Using highly sensitive pressure gauges, we perform tightness testing on your network to confirm there are no pressure drops that would indicate a hidden gas leak.Flue Gas Analysis: We conduct advanced combustion analysis on your boilers and heaters. By measuring the exact ratio of oxygen to carbon monoxide in the flue, we can calibrate the appliance for maximum energy efficiency and safety.Gas Purging: For commercial or newly installed systems, we safely perform gas purging to remove air or dangerous gas mixtures from the pipework before commissioning.Once the testing is complete, we provide you with a comprehensive, traceable digital report detailing our findings and any required remedial actions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a standard safety check and flue gas analysis?A basic safety check ensures the appliance is safe to use and visually sound. Flue gas analysis uses an electronic probe inserted into the exhaust flue to measure the exact chemical composition of the emissions, allowing us to test combustion efficiency and precise carbon monoxide levels.What happens if a leak is detected during tightness testing?If our pressure gauges detect a drop indicating a leak, we will immediately trace the source of the escape. We will safely isolate the affected pipework or appliance, advise you on the necessary repairs, and ensure the property is completely safe before we leave.Do you provide commercial gas analysis in Tipton?Yes, we are fully certified commercial gas engineers. We routinely perform commercial tightness testing, gas purging, and commercial boiler analysis for businesses, schools, and catering facilities throughout Tipton and Sandwell.How often should I have my gas pipework tested?For commercial premises and rental properties, a gas safety check is legally required every 12 months. However, we also recommend proactive tightness testing if you are moving into a new property or if your gas consumption suddenly spikes without explanation.

"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.
