Gas Detector Servicing and Repair

 

Gas detectors only protect people if they work. Sensors age, filters block, batteries fade and instruments get dropped. 7 Solutions services, repairs and calibrates portable and fixed gas detectors of any brand from our workshop in Waltham Chase, Hampshire, with engineers covering the South and the North of England.

 

What a portable service includes

  • Inspection of the case, display, alarms, pump, filters and charging contacts.

  • Sensor response check and full calibration against certified gas.

  • Alarm set-point check and adjustment to your requirements.

  • Replacement of failed sensors, filters and batteries, quoted before fitting.

  • Firmware and data-log checks where the instrument supports them.

  • A traceable calibration certificate for each instrument.

 

Standard prices

We charge one rate per instrument type, whatever the brand: single gas monitors £40, 4-gas monitors £50, multigas monitors £90 and PIDs £140 (excl. VAT). Parts are extra and always quoted first. Book on our calibration and service page.

 

Repairs

Common faults include failed or poisoned sensors, cracked cases and screens, blocked pumps and inlet filters, worn charging contacts and batteries that no longer last a shift. We repair where it makes economic sense and tell you honestly when replacement is the better option.

 

Brands we service

Our engineers are trained on Honeywell (BW and RAE), WatchGas, Dräger, Crowcon, MSA, Industrial Scientific, GMI, Oldham and more. We are a Crowcon service centre. See our pages on Crowcon, Honeywell and WatchGas detectors.

 

Fixed gas detection servicing

For installed systems our engineers visit site to gas test and calibrate each detector, check the control panel, test sounders, beacons, relays and any ventilation or shut-off actions, and record the results. Most sites need a visit every six or twelve months, depending on the manufacturer and your risk assessment. See our fixed gas detection guide.

 

Between services: bump testing

A bump test before each day's use proves the sensors respond and the alarms sound. If a bump test fails, the monitor needs calibration before it is used again. Our gas detection training covers daily checks, from £750 a day on site or £350 for a three-hour online session.

 

Need cover while yours is away?

We hire calibrated monitors from £35 a week so your team keeps working while instruments are serviced.

Talk to our engineers on 01489 326031 or email sales@7solutions.co.uk. We supply, hire, calibrate and train across the UK, Monday to Thursday 9am to 5pm and Friday 9am to 4pm.

 

Frequently asked questions

How much does gas detector servicing cost?

Our standard calibration and service rates are single gas monitors £40, 4-gas monitors £50, multigas monitors £90 and PIDs £140 (excl. VAT). Replacement sensors, batteries and parts are quoted before we fit them.

Do you service all brands?

Yes. Our engineers are trained on Honeywell (BW and RAE), WatchGas, Dräger, Crowcon, MSA, Industrial Scientific, GMI, Oldham and more, and we are a Crowcon service centre.

Is your calibration UKAS accredited?

No. Our calibrations are traceable, using certified calibration gas, and every instrument is returned with a traceable certificate. 7 Solutions operates an ISO 9001 quality management system.

Do you service fixed gas detection systems?

Yes. Our engineers visit site to gas test and calibrate each detector, test alarms and outputs, and issue service records, on six-monthly or annual visits.

How do I send instruments to you?

Book on our service page or call us. You can send instruments to our workshop in Waltham Chase, Hampshire.
