Signs Your Gas Pipework Needs Replacing

Rust or flaking on old steel pipe, a run that has failed a tightness test, appliances that perform poorly when several are on at once, or pipework damaged by building work. Engineers sometimes flag it on a gas safety check, which is often the first a homeowner hears of it.

More Information

Copper Instead of Old Steel

Older properties often still have the original steel gas pipe, which corrodes from the outside in and can be hard to inspect where it is boxed in or buried. Replacing it in copper gives a run that can be sized correctly for modern appliances and tested with confidence.

Keeping Disruption Down

We plan the new route first, using existing voids, cupboards and skirting lines so less has to be opened up. The gas is off only while the changeover is made, and appliances are recommissioned and checked before we leave you with the paperwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my gas pipe is corroded?

Look at any exposed pipe near the meter or under the floor hatch. Surface rust, flaking paint or pitting on old steel are the signs. Corrosion inside boxing or under a floor is harder to spot, which is why a tightness test as part of a safety check matters.

Will my gas be off all day during a replacement?

Only for part of it. We prepare and install the new run with the supply live where it is safe to do so, then turn the gas off to make the final connections and test. Most jobs have the supply back on the same day, and we tell you the plan beforehand.

Who pays for gas pipe replacement in a rented property?

The landlord is responsible for the gas installation and pipework in a rented property, including keeping it in safe condition. We quote the landlord or agent directly and can arrange access with the tenant. Quotes are free and set out exactly what is being replaced.
