Gas Pipe Replacement Services

Professional gas pipework replacement by Gas Safe registered engineers.

Old Gas Pipe Replacement

Replacement of old steel or copper gas pipework that has reached the end of its service life. Old pipework can corrode, leak and may not meet current gas safety standards.

Corroded Gas Pipe Renewal

Corroded gas pipework must be replaced before it fails. We remove the corroded section and install new gas pipework that meets current regulations and is safe for continued use.

Gas Pipe Upgrade for New Boiler

A new high output combi boiler may need larger gas pipework than the old boiler. We upgrade the gas pipe size to ensure the new boiler receives the correct gas pressure and flow.

Undersized Gas Pipe Replacement

If your gas pipework is undersized your appliances will not perform correctly. We calculate the correct pipe size and replace the undersized pipework to restore proper performance.

Lead Gas Pipe Replacement

Lead gas pipes are found in some older properties and must be replaced. Lead gas pipework is not safe and does not meet current regulations. We replace it with modern copper or tracpipe.

Gas Pipe Replacement FAQs

Common questions about gas pipe replacement

How do I know if my gas pipework needs replacing?

Signs that gas pipework may need replacing include visible corrosion, green discolouration on copper pipes, a smell of gas, appliances that are not performing properly, or pipework that is more than 30 years old.

Can old gas pipework be left in place?

Old gas pipework that is no longer in use should be capped off at the supply end or removed. Unused gas pipework that is still connected to the gas supply can leak and is a safety risk.

How long does gas pipe replacement take?

The time depends on the amount of pipework being replaced and how accessible it is. Replacing the gas pipe from the meter to a single appliance may take a few hours. A full property replacement may take a day or more.

Will you need to lift floorboards?

If gas pipework runs under the floor, we may need to lift some floorboards to access and replace it. We will discuss this with you beforehand and work as cleanly as possible with minimum disruption.

Does replacing gas pipework require a new gas certificate?

Yes. After any gas pipework replacement we issue a gas pipework installation certificate. This documents the work carried out, the pipe sizing and the pressure test results.

Should I replace gas pipework when installing a new boiler?

Often yes. Many older properties have 15mm gas pipework which may be undersized for a modern high output combi boiler. We check the existing pipe size as part of the boiler installation survey.
