How Our Emergency Response Works
Our emergency response process begins the moment you call. We conduct a thorough triage to determine the severity of the situation and provide an estimated time of arrival. Our first priority is always safety, which is why we execute an isolation-first protocol, using ECV and AECV methods as required by standards like BS 6644. Our team frequently co-ordinates this work with commercial gas safety certificate (CP42) in Chelsea to limit downtime.

Our written reports, compliant with CP15 and CP42, provide a full account of the incident, which is essential for both duty holder records and insurance claims. We carry out pressure tests and recommission systems, ensuring everything is back to operational standards before departing.

Make-Safe Workflow & Business Continuity
Our make-safe workflow is designed to minimize business disruption and ensure safety. We begin by isolating the affected area, following IGEM/UP/1 and IGEM/UP/10 protocols to prevent any further risk. Evacuation may be necessary in some cases, especially where gas levels exceed safety thresholds. We guide your team through these procedures, ensuring compliance and safety. For related compliance work we recommend commercial boiler servicing in Chelsea as part of an annual schedule.
Coordination with the National Grid Network (NGN) is crucial for incidents involving supply isolation. We manage this liaison, ensuring that all necessary steps are taken for a safe and efficient resolution. Our engineers provide a comprehensive written incident report, which is essential for insurers and may be requested by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Once the area is safe, we prioritize business continuity, offering temporary solutions if full reinstatement cannot be achieved immediately. This may involve temporary heating solutions or other measures to keep your operations running. Our focus is always on reducing downtime, as this impacts revenue and can lead to compliance issues if not addressed swiftly.
