WHAT IS GAS ESCAPE FINDING?
Locating the likely source of a suspected gas safety issue.
Gas escape finding is the inspection of a gas system to identify the possible source of a suspected leak or unsafe condition. The concern may involve gas pipework, a boiler, cooker, hob, fitting, valve or appliance connection.
We assess the relevant parts of the installation, explain what we find in plain English and recommend the safest practical next step.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
Take these safety steps first.
Avoid ignition sources
Do not smoke, light flames or use electrical switches.
Turn off gas if safe
Use the emergency control valve only if you know it is safe to do so.
Call 0800 111 999
Contact the National Gas Emergency Service before arranging follow-up work.
WHEN TO ARRANGE A FOLLOW-UP INSPECTION
Gas escape finding may be appropriate after emergency safety steps.
The emergency service has isolated the gas supply
A boiler, cooker or hob has been flagged as unsafe
You need a post-emergency gas-system inspection
There is concern about visible pipework, valves or fittings
A gas appliance has been disconnected or capped off
A landlord gas-safety check has raised a concern
You have had recent gas work and need follow-up checks
You need advice before the gas supply is used again
WHAT WE MAY CHECK
Inspection tailored to the reported concern.
The exact checks depend on the property, appliance type and the information provided by the emergency service or occupier.
Initial safety review
Understanding what happened, which appliance is involved and whether the gas supply was isolated.
Visible pipework inspection
Reviewing relevant pipework, fittings, joints and valves for signs of damage or unsafe conditions.
Appliance-connection checks
Inspecting suitable boiler, cooker, hob and domestic-appliance connections.
Boiler-area inspection
Checking the visible boiler area, gas connection and nearby pipework where appropriate.
Cooker and hob checks
Assessing the visible setup, fittings and connection points around cooking appliances.
Testing and safety assessment
Using appropriate checks to assess the reported concern and guide the next step.
Clear repair advice
Explaining whether isolation, repair, replacement or further specialist action is needed.
BOILER GAS CONCERNS
Inspection around the boiler and its gas connection.
A concern near a boiler may involve the appliance, gas valve, connection or nearby pipework. We assess the appropriate visible areas and explain the required next step.
COOKERS, HOBS & PIPEWORK
Follow-up checks for kitchen gas appliances.
Cookers and hobs must be safely connected. After emergency steps, we can inspect relevant visible connections, fittings and appliance areas.
AFTER AN EMERGENCY CALLOUT
If the gas supply has been turned off, do not turn it back on yourself.
The National Gas Emergency Service may isolate the supply or make an appliance safe. A qualified Gas Safe engineer may then need to investigate why this happened and complete suitable repair work before normal gas use can resume.
LANDLORDS & PROPERTY MANAGERS
Prompt follow-up support for gas-safety concerns.
If a tenant reports a gas smell or a gas-safety concern, landlords must treat it seriously. After emergency steps have been followed, Progas can assist with follow-up inspections, pipework checks, boiler and cooker concerns, CP12-related support and repair recommendations.
Clear communication and prompt action can help protect tenants and support a safe property.
