Gas leak detection system testing
We prove your gas detection system works and your pipework is tight, before a real leak puts people, product or compliance at risk.
Gas detection system testing
Fixed gas detectors only protect people if they respond at the right level and trigger the right alarms. We test the whole system using controlled test gas and simulated leak conditions.
- Sensor response and sensitivity
- Calibration and drift
- Alarm activation at each set point
- Fault detection and signal transmission
- Links to building management and shutdown systems
- Backup power supplies
Gases and systems we test
- Oxygen depletion and enrichment monitors
- CO₂ detection in cellars, breweries and distilleries
- Nitrogen, argon and other inert gas systems
- Hydrogen, methane and other flammable gases
- Laboratory and cleanroom gas safety systems
Pipework leak testing
We also leak test gas and compressed air pipework, joints and fittings using inert gas and leak detection fluid, and pressure test new or modified pipework before use.
What you get
- A full inspection and performance report
- Pass or fail result for each detector and alarm

Leak Detection & Gas Detector Testing: common questions
How often should gas detectors be tested?
Most manufacturers recommend a functional test and calibration at least every 6 to 12 months, and more often in harsh environments. Check your detector's manual or ask us.
Do I need CO₂ detection in a cellar or brewery?
Where CO₂ could build up in an enclosed space, a risk assessment will usually call for detection. We can test existing systems and advise on coverage.
Can you test while the site is running?
Yes, in most cases. We agree a test plan with you so alarms and shutdowns are tested safely without unplanned disruption.
What happens if an item fails?
It is tagged as failed and taken out of use so nobody uses it by mistake. We tell you what needs repairing or replacing and quote for it. Where we have the right part with us, we can replace it on the day with your approval.
How is the work priced?
We give you a fixed quote based on how much equipment you have and the size of your site, so you know the cost before we start.
Do you provide RAMS and follow our site rules?
Yes. We provide risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) before work starts, and we follow your site's induction, permit-to-work and safety rules.
