Gas. Planned with care.

For a home on mains gas or a bottle, Loftshape lays the pipe from the meter to the hob and the boiler, keeps it clear of tall fixtures, and shows, for any gas point, the distances it should keep from outlets, switches, windows and doors.

How it works

  1. 01

    Read the notice

    Gas is laid out only once you have read and accepted what the layout is and is not.

  2. 02

    Lay it out

    From the meter or the bottle to each appliance.

  3. 03

    Check the distances

    Pick a gas point to see the distances it keeps, drawn round it in 3D.

What you get

  • Distances you can see

    From outlets and switches, from the board, and a flue from windows and doors.

  • Every rule is an error

    Nothing about gas is passed over as a warning, and there is no fix-all.

  • Never called safe

    A layout "passes our planning checks": it is never called safe, approved or compliant.

Gas work must be designed, installed and certified by a registered gas engineer. Loftshape never says a gas layout is safe, approved or compliant.

Questions people ask

Can I use this layout to install gas?

No. It is for planning and discussion only. A registered gas engineer designs, installs and certifies any gas work.

Does it work with bottled gas?

Yes. You say whether the home is on mains gas or a bottle, and which appliances use it.
