LPG Central Gas Maintenance
Central gas networks in restaurants and hotels run daily under heat, grease and vibration, and those conditions show first on flexible pipes, joints and gas detectors. Periodic maintenance addresses those items before they become a leak or a peak-time shutdown.
Scheduled visit scope
- Tank, accessories and surroundings inspection
- Regulator inspection and stage pressure verification
- Filter, valve and meter checks
- Flexible pipe and appliance connection inspection
- Gas detector testing and control panel response
- Solenoid valve and emergency shut-off testing
- Leak survey of the exposed network
- Condition report and replacement recommendations
Emergency response
On a suspected leak the priority is isolation, ventilation and removal of ignition sources before any inspection; we then locate the leak, rectify it and re-test before service resumes.
Existing network assessment
For facilities unsure of their network's condition, we carry out a survey documenting tank, stages, network and safety systems, with observations ranked by priority.

Frequently asked questions
Which item most often needs replacement in a commercial kitchen?
Flexible pipes and appliance connections, because of continuous exposure to heat, movement and grease — which is why they are checked on every visit.
Are gas detectors tested on every visit?
Yes. An untested detector cannot be relied upon, and it is tested together with the shut-off valve as one system.
