Gas Pipe Installation and Repair in Cheshire

New gas pipe installation

We run new gas pipework for appliances being added to a property, whether that's a new gas fire, cooker, or extending supply to a new extension or outbuilding. This involves planning the pipe route, selecting appropriately sized pipe for the appliance's gas demand, and installing with the correct fittings and protection where the pipe passes through walls or floors.

Gas pipe repair

Common gas pipe issues we deal with include:

• Corroded sections of older pipework, particularly in properties with original steel gas pipe that's reached the point of needing attention
• Damaged pipework, sometimes from building work that's disturbed a buried or hidden gas run without realising it was there
• Fittings or joints that have developed a leak, identified through smell or through pressure testing

Pressure testing

Pressure testing confirms whether a gas system is holding pressure correctly without leaking. This is carried out as standard practice whenever new gas pipework is installed, and is also something we can carry out on existing systems if you're concerned about a possible leak or simply want confirmation everything's sound, for instance before buying a property with gas appliances.

Gas meter installation and relocation

We can install new gas meters or relocate existing ones, working alongside the gas network operator where required, since meter installations sometimes need coordination beyond what a Gas Safe engineer alone can carry out independently.

Why this work requires proper qualification

Gas work carries genuine risk if done incorrectly, including fire, explosion, and carbon monoxide poisoning risk. This is why Gas Safe Registration exists and why it's a legal requirement for anyone carrying out gas work. We never cut corners on gas pipework, regardless of how minor a job might seem.
