Yes I would if I had found where it is coming from.Yeah but 3mbar is within tolerance so would you still have to cap it?

Why would I be reported for that though mate ?Same but if you get reported gas safe won’t be happy with you
The steel pipe bit?

Not trying to argue here, I’ve just never been told this.
At college when the question of trying to find a drop even if within limits was asked the answer was there no need but if you want to try and find it then you can.
Ok I get where your coming from with that side of things.As it’s acceptable and safe
Let’s say you’ve had a 2.5 mbar drop you spend 1/2 a day looking around and testing you find it and fix it
Give the customer a bill of let’s pick a figure £200 every other engineer hasn’t picked this fault up / says it needs repairing
Customer says how much, they phones gas safe up and say I want to see if something sounds right with you
I’ve had a gas leak of 2.5 mbar and the engineers found it and repaired it but it’s cost me 200 did it need repairing
They will ask the customer a few questions or send an inspector out etc
And they will say no it’s within acceptable limits Customer won’t pay the bill etc
Ok I get where your coming from with that side of things.
I thought you were meaning I wouldn’t be doing something safely.
I wouldn’t do that though tbf, if I chose to do that just for my own piece of mind then any extra time taken would be on me.
I get you mateThing is if you take that stance good luck as you could be buying new cookers and gas valves/ fires for people out if your own pocket and can’t charge for
if you did oversell you could be done and gas safe envolved if the customer was that way
