When to Call a Professional for Gas Leak Detection & Repair

Unexpected Noises or Leaks

If the system is making strange noises or you notice water pooling, it's time to get a professional assessment before it causes property damage.

Loss of Performance

A drop in pressure, cold spots, or a system that takes too long to respond usually indicates an underlying issue that needs expert attention.

Common questions, plain answers

What should I do if I smell gas?

Open windows, turn off gas at the meter if you can, get everyone out, and ring the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Don't light anything, don't switch electrics. Then ring me to investigate.

How do you find a gas leak?

Pressure-drop test on the system first, then trace with leak detection fluid and an electronic gas detector. Most leaks turn up at joints, valves, or appliance connections.

How much does a gas leak repair cost?

£100 for the diagnostic. The fix depends on what we find: anywhere from £30 in materials for a joint up to £200 plus for a pipe replacement.

Can I use the gas while waiting for a repair?

No. If a leak's been confirmed I'll cap off the affected supply for safety and arrange the fix.
