Protecting Durham Homes: Your Gas Safety Visual Pipework Inspection
Are you a landlord in Durham, Chester-le-Street, or Consett? Or perhaps a homeowner keen to ensure the safety of your property?

At Preferred Gas, we offer thorough visual pipework inspections as part of our Gas Safety Certificate service. This isn't just a tick-box exercise; it's about giving you peace of mind.

Think of it like a regular health check for your gas system.

Identifying Potential Issues: What We Look For During Your Gas Pipework Inspection
During your visual pipework inspection, our skilled Gas Safe registered engineers are trained to spot potential dangers. These can include things such as corrosion, which can weaken pipes over time, and signs of gas leaks. We also check to make sure that the pipework is properly supported and that there are no illegal or unsafe connections. We'll also assess that there is adequate ventilation around the pipework to prevent build-up of any gas. By spotting these issues early, you can prevent serious problems.
Beyond the Certificate: Addressing Any Issues We Find
If our inspection reveals any problems, we won't just hand you a report and walk away. We'll explain the issues clearly and provide you with transparent advice on the necessary repairs or upgrades. We can then carry out the required work to bring your gas system up to standard, ensuring the safety of your property. We’ll provide a no obligation quote for any remedial works required.
