Identify gas concerns before settlement

Gas-related defects can present safety risks and significant repair costs after purchase. Many buyers assume gas appliances are operating safely simply because they ignite or appear functional.

A gas plumbing inspection helps identify visible defects, ageing installations and potential compliance concerns that may warrant further investigation.

Important: A pre-purchase gas inspection is a visual assessment only and does not constitute a full gas compliance inspection or certification.

General condition assessment of visible gas appliances including signs of deterioration and ageing.

Gas Pipework Inspection
