Do you work on boilers or gas appliances?
No. We specialise in gas metering only. We do not install, service or repair boilers or gas appliances. For appliance work you will need a Gas Safe registered engineer qualified for that type of work.

What size of gas meter can you work on?

Do you provide RAMS?

What paperwork do I get after the job?
You get full documentation, including test results, purge records and job reports, giving you a clear audit trail for your compliance records.
What is a meter exchange (MEX)?
A meter exchange, often called a MEX, is where an existing gas meter is replaced with a new one. It can be like-for-like or an upgrade to a different size or type of meter. The installation is tested and purged before the supply is put back into use.
What should I do if I smell gas?
If you smell gas, call the National Gas Emergency Service first on 0800 111 999. Once the emergency service has attended, we can help with gas leak detection and any meter or regulator work needed.
