About Gas Tightness Test
Need a gas tightness test after pipework alterations, suspected leakage symptoms or before recommissioning? iComply Gas Safe engineers perform tightness testing across domestic and light commercial properties in the North West, following Gas Safe practice. We inspect, service, install and certificate related gas works, issuing CP12/CP44 certificates and service records when the wider job requires formal certification for landlords, agents and commercial kitchens.
Tightness testing verifies the integrity of the gas installation within test limits; it is not a substitute for full appliance servicing but is essential after new pipe runs, meter moves or when pressure loss is suspected. From Stockport we cover Greater Manchester, Lancashire, Cheshire, Merseyside and Cumbria. Engineers use appropriate gauges, isolate sections correctly and document results. Failed tests lead to methodical leak location—never guesswork—and make-safe actions. Fixed-price testing is available for straightforward domestic systems; commercial plant is quoted after scope confirmation.
