Gas Pipework Inspection

What a gas pipework inspection covers

This service focuses on the pipework that feeds your gas appliances, not just the appliances themselves. The aim is to confirm it is safe, correctly installed, and fit for ongoing use.

• Visual inspection of accessible internal gas pipework, joints and fittings
• Checks for signs of damage, corrosion, poor support, or DIY alterations
• Review of pipework routing and accessibility of key controls and isolation points
• Tightness testing where appropriate to identify leaks or pressure loss
• Identification of non-compliant sections and clear recommendations to put them right
• Written summary of findings, with remedial options where needed

When this service is most useful

• You have moved into a new property and want reassurance about the gas installation.
• You are a landlord preparing for, or following up on, gas safety checks.
• You smell gas, suspect a slow leak, or have recurring issues with appliance performance.
• Renovation work has exposed pipework, or you are planning a new appliance location.
• Your property has older pipework or a history of alterations.

How the inspection is carried out

The engineer will review the accessible runs of pipework and assess how it has been installed and supported. Where suitable, testing is carried out to check for gas tightness and to help pinpoint potential faults.

If anything unsafe is found, it will be clearly explained along with what needs to happen next. Any work on gas pipework is completed in line with current UK gas safety requirements.

What happens after the inspection

You will receive a clear summary of what was checked, what was found, and what is recommended. If remedial work is required, you can choose to proceed with repairs, upgrades, or further investigation depending on urgency and access. If everything is satisfactory, you have documented reassurance that the pipework has been assessed by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
