Commercial Gas Leak Investigation & Repairs Across Scotland
A suspected gas leak should always be treated as a priority. Whether the leak has been identified during routine maintenance, following a gas alarm activation or because of a noticeable smell of gas, the installation should be investigated promptly by a qualified commercial gas engineer.
At Sensible Building Services, we provide professional gas leak investigation and repair services for commercial and industrial buildings throughout Scotland. Our engineers safely isolate affected installations where necessary, identify the source of the leak, carry out repairs and complete the appropriate testing before recommissioning the system.
From boiler plant rooms and manufacturing facilities to offices, warehouses and public buildings, we help businesses restore their gas installations safely, efficiently and with minimal disruption.
Responding To A Suspected Gas Leak
Gas leaks should never be ignored.
If you suspect a gas leak within your commercial premises:
-
Follow your site's emergency procedures.
-
Isolate the gas supply where it is safe to do so.
-
Prevent unnecessary access to the affected area.
-
Avoid operating electrical switches or creating potential ignition sources.
-
Contact the appropriate emergency gas service if required.
-
Arrange for a qualified commercial gas engineer to investigate the installation before it is returned to service.
Once the immediate situation has been made safe, we can investigate the installation, identify the fault and carry out any necessary repairs.
