After gas is shut off
When the National Grid arrives to turn off the gas at your property and it has been isolated, only then can we go to your property and check for the location of the leak and apply the appropriate repairs to the fault, if any are needed.
Once the gas is turned off, a Gas Safe engineer must carry out the checks.
What we check
- The operating pressure and heat input of the appliance to make sure it is working correctly
- Any flue or chimney connected to the appliance is working properly
- The appliance is suitable for the location
- The appliance is properly set up and gas is burning correctly
- The appliance is correctly fitted and connected to the gas pipes
- There is an adequate, permanent air supply so the gas can burn properly and cleanly
- All safety devices are operating correctly
- All accessible gas pipework is in good condition
- Gas pipework will be tested for any leaks
