Gas Emergencies

If you can smell gas and believe there is a gas leak follow these important steps:
  • Open doors and windows for ventilation
  • Do not turn any electrical switches on or off
  • Extinguish all naked flames
  • Turn the gas off at the meter/emergency control and leave it off until the escape has been repaired
  • Report the gas escape on 0800 111 999
  • If an electrical security entry lock/phone is fitted, then this must not be operated. The door must be opened manually when the National Grid engineer arrives
