Commercial Gas Services for Businesses in London
Commercial Gas Pipework works only on commercial and industrial gas systems. In London that means restaurant and hotel kitchens, office and mixed use plant rooms, hospitals, campuses, food factories and warehouses.
We install and alter pipework, test and purge it, commission new plant, make old supplies safe and attend breakdowns. We are Gas Safe registered, number 568617, and work seven days a week.
Most jobs here have to fit around a trading business, so out of hours work is common.
What Commercial Gas Services Do We Provide?
Most enquiries fall into one of these groups.
Commercial Gas Installation
Steel, copper and buried PE pipework for fit outs, plant room upgrades and new appliances. Each system is sized for its full load. See commercial gas installation.
Gas Testing and Purging
Strength and tightness testing to IGEM/UP/1, then purging so pipework can go live safely. Larger volumes are purged with nitrogen. See gas testing and purging.
Commissioning and Decommissioning
We bring new systems into service and hand over the records. When a unit is stripped out, we isolate, purge, cap and label the old pipework.
Commercial Gas Certificates
Annual gas safety inspections and the paperwork that landlords and insurers ask for. See commercial gas certificates.
Catering Gas Services
Kitchen pipework, appliance connections and the interlock between gas and extraction that BS 6173 calls for. See commercial catering.
Commercial Heating Systems
Boiler plant, warm air and radiant heating, together with the pipework that feeds them. See commercial heating systems.
Basements, Risers and Tight Access
Gas work in the capital rarely happens in an open, easy space. Meters sit in basement vaults. Pipework climbs through risers in buildings that have been refitted many times.
Before work starts we look at the pipe route, the isolation points and where a purge can be vented. On a crowded street that matters, because a purge must discharge outdoors, away from windows, air intakes and anything that could ignite the gas.
Parking, loading restrictions and the Congestion Charge zone also shape the plan, so we agree access and working hours with you early.
What Types of Businesses Do We Work With?
Restaurants, Hotels and Pubs
Kitchens in Soho, Covent Garden, Shoreditch and Mayfair trade long hours. We plan installation, testing and repairs around service.
Offices and Mixed Use Buildings
Towers and blocks in the City, Canary Wharf and Stratford have basement or rooftop plant rooms, and shared supplies that need careful shutdown planning.
Hospitals, Universities and Schools
Central boiler plant, laboratories and large kitchens, where work is phased so that supply is maintained.
Food Production and Warehousing
Process and heating pipework for units in Park Royal, Brimsdown and Dagenham, and freight sheds around Heathrow.
Shops and Banks Changing Use
Former shops and banks being converted to restaurants need a new or larger supply, a compliant kitchen installation and a test certificate before opening.

Do You Need an Emergency Commercial Gas Engineer?
If you smell gas, call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 first. They will make the supply safe, but they do not repair pipework or appliances inside your premises.
That is where we come in. Our emergency gas repairs team covers London at any hour. We trace the leak, repair it, then test and purge the pipework so that gas can be restored.
Commercial Gas Safety and Compliance in the Capital
The Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 require employers and those in control of premises to keep gas pipework and appliances safe. An inspection every 12 months is the accepted norm, and many landlords want a tightness test certificate before a tenant opens.
Two gas networks serve the capital. Cadent covers north London and SGN covers most areas south of the Thames. They own the pipework up to the emergency control valve, so new supplies, larger meters and disconnections are arranged with them or through your supplier.
Each of the 32 boroughs, plus the City of London Corporation, is the highway authority for its own streets, and Transport for London manages the red routes. Street works are controlled through the London Permit Scheme, which matters if a buried pipe run comes near the public highway.
Which Areas and Postcodes Do We Cover?
We cover every central postal district: E, EC, N, NW, SE, SW, W and WC. We also work across the outer boroughs in the BR, CR, DA, EN, HA, IG, KT, RM, SM, TW and UB postcode areas.
Coverage does not stop at the M25. We take on work in Watford, Slough, Staines, Dartford, Epsom and Brentwood, and we operate across the rest of the UK. If your site is nearby but not listed, it is still worth a call.
How Do I Book a Commercial Gas Engineer?
Call 08000 855 077 or send the enquiry form. Tell us where the site is, what gas equipment you have and what you need done. For larger jobs we arrange a site visit, then send a written quote.
Quotes are free and carry no obligation. If the work is urgent, say so when you call and we will advise on the quickest safe option.
