What to Do the Moment You Smell Gas

Turn the gas off at the meter control handle. Open doors and windows. Do not use light switches, doorbells or anything electrical, and do not smoke. Get everyone out of the building, then ring the national gas emergency service on 0800 111 999 from outside the property.

More Information

How We Trace the Leak

We start with a tightness test at the meter to confirm the installation is losing gas, then isolate section by section to narrow down where. Gas detection equipment pinpoints the joint or length of pipe at fault, so we open up as little of the property as possible.

Repair and Recommissioning

Once found, the faulty joint or section is cut out and replaced, then the whole installation is tested again. Every appliance is relit and checked before we leave, and the work is recorded. If a section is beyond repair, we quote for replacing that run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I call you or the gas emergency number first?

Call 0800 111 999 first if you can smell gas. That is the national emergency service and it is free, 24 hours a day. They will attend and make the supply safe. Then call us to trace the fault, carry out the repair and get your appliances working again.

What does a gas leak smell like?

Natural gas has no smell of its own, so a strong odour like rotten eggs is added to it. Other signs are a hissing near pipework or the meter, dead patches of grass over a buried supply, or a yellow rather than blue flame on an appliance. Any of these needs acting on.

Can you repair a gas leak the same day in Biggleswade?

In most cases, yes. Once the supply has been made safe, we trace the leak and carry out the repair on the same visit where the parts are on the van. If a section of pipework has to be replaced, we make the property safe and return quickly to finish it.
