What to do right now
If you suspect a gas leak:
Get everyone out of the house immediately
Do not turn lights or appliances on or off
Do not use your phone inside
Avoid anything that could create a spark
Leave doors open if it is safe, but do not delay leaving
Once you are outside and at a safe distance, make the call.
Who to call
From outside the property:
Call emergency services
Call your gas provider
Call a licensed gas fitter
The gas provider handles supply up to the meter.
If the issue is inside your home, you need a licensed professional to fix it properly.
Signs of a gas leak
The most common sign is a rotten egg smell.
This is added to gas so leaks can be detected.
You may also notice:
Hissing or whistling near pipes or appliances
Dizziness, headaches, or nausea
Dead patches of grass outside
Bubbling water or unusual ground conditions
If something feels off, trust it and get out.
