How Gas Leaks Are Traced

We start with a tightness test on the whole system to confirm gas is escaping and how fast. Then we work section by section with an electronic detector to narrow it down. That tells us exactly where to open up rather than guessing.

Where Leaks Usually Happen

Old threaded joints, flexible hoses behind cookers, and connections that have been disturbed by other work are the usual places. Pipes buried in walls or under floors can corrode over decades. Meter connections are another spot we always check.

Testing After the Repair

A repair is not finished until it is proved. We retest the whole system under pressure, check every appliance burns correctly and confirm the flue is clearing properly. You get told exactly what was wrong and what we did about it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a gas leak smell like?

Natural gas has a sulphur smell added to it, often described as rotten eggs. It is deliberately unpleasant so you notice it. If you smell it, open the windows, turn off the gas at the meter, avoid switches and phones indoors, and get outside before you call.

How long does gas leak detection take in Tooting?

A tightness test takes minutes and tells us whether gas is escaping. Tracing exactly where can take an hour or more, depending on how much pipework is buried or boxed in. We will keep you updated as we narrow it down and confirm costs as we go.

Can a gas leak be repaired the same day?

In most cases yes. Once we have located the escape, joints and hoses are usually repaired straight away because we carry the fittings. Buried pipework in a wall or floor takes longer to reach. We will always make the property safe before we leave, either way.
