Gas Testing and Purging in Cornwall and Devon.
Gas Testing & Purging.
Commissioning, decommissioning and tightness testing of natural gas and LPG systems, industrial and commercial. All Gas Safe, all certificated.
What we cover
Arrange a tightness testGas testing proves an installation holds pressure. Purging removes air before gas goes in, or removes gas before work starts. Both are legally defined procedures with certification attached, and both apply to natural gas and LPG. Decommissioning plant and pipework is the same skill in reverse.

Common questions
Before you call
When does a gas system need purging?
On any new installation before it goes into service, on any plant being decommissioned, and on any pipework being cut into. Purging replaces the air in a system with gas, or replaces gas with an inert medium before work starts.
Do you test and purge LPG as well as natural gas?
Both. LPG is common on Cornish industrial sites off the gas grid, so it is a large share of the work here.
Do you provide Gas Safe certification for purging?
Certification comes with the job, and it is what proves the work was carried out to standard.
Can redundant gas plant and pipework be decommissioned?
Yes, including capping, purging out of service and removal. Buried pipework and plant that has held gas both need a controlled procedure.
How long does a tightness test take?
A small commercial installation is under an hour. Large industrial pipework depends on volume, because the test duration is set by the system size.
Do you cover industrial sites across Devon and the South West?
Yes. Cornwall and Devon as standard, and further into the South West for specialist industrial gas work.
