What is required to do a commercial gas installation?

No matter  the size of gas cylinder Eg 9kg gas cylinder or a 19kg gas cylinder or 48kg gas or any amount of gas cylinders that you are going to be using on the property fire approval MIGHT need to be applied for from the fire department in your area. If a gas installers does not get a set of drawings stamped and approved from the fire department it will be a illegal gas installation. If there was ever an insurance claim the claim may be rejected because no fire approval was done.

Please note that we will NOT quote on any system without having physically visited the proposed site or having seen a FULL set of current and approved building plans.  Furthermore, where a gas system requires Fire Department approval, our quotation is subject to changes required by the Fire Department.

What does fire approval entail ?

Fire approval is a specific set of drawings drawn up showing the amount of gas cylinders and where they are situated on the property . It's is normally a set of drawing showing the gas installation from different angles. One set of the fire approval drawings is kept at the fire department another is given to the customer the last copy of the drawings is kept by the registered gas installer and kept with a copy of the gas compliancy certificate that was issued to the customer.  There is a cost in drawing up these drawings getting them approved and stamped from the fire department.

FIRE APPROVAL  DOES NOT MEAN  THAT THE FIRE BRIGADE COME VISIT THE SITE AND SAY WHAT  IS WRONG & WHAT IS RIGHT.

A PROPER FIRE APPROVAL MEANS A SET OF DRAWING IS DRAWN UP AND SENT FOR  APPROVAL  AT  THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
