Gas Emergencies:

If you think you have a Gas escape:

  1. Turn off the gas supply immediately at the Emergency/Meter control valve (see picture) - this will be located next to the gas meter which in modern properties will be in a box on the outside wall
  2. Extinguish all sources of ignition
  3. Do not smoke
  4. Do not operate ANY Electrical light or power switches either on or off
  5. Ventilate the building by opening doors and windows
  6. Ensure access to the building can be gained
  7. Report the Gas escape to the National Gas Emergency Service Call Centre on 0800 111999, who will advise on what to do next
  8. If you need someone to check the internal systems within the property make sure they are a Corgi registered engineer!
