Gas Testing and Purging
About This Service
Gas Testing and Purging You Can Trust
Every gas test and purge is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers, with full test sheets, calibrated equipment and documented compliance for landlords, contractors and building control. We guarantee regulator-ready paperwork and traceable records on every job. Controlled purging removes air and pressure testing verifies tightness on new or modified pipework. Service available across Newcastle for domestic and commercial installs.
Our Process
How It Works
Initial site survey
Engineers check pipework layout, valves and isolation points, record meter positions and assess access for safe purging and testing.
Testing & controlled purging
We perform let-by, standing and working pressure tests using calibrated gauges, then purge air from new or altered runs before introducing gas.
Documentation & handover
You receive printed and digital test sheets, compliance notes and recommendations — regulator-ready paperwork for your records or building control.
