All our engineers are Gas Safe registered and carry ID cards. We use calibrated gas detection equipment to locate leaks accurately and carry out repairs to British Standard BS 6891 for gas installations.

Available for gas leak emergencies across the area, from the older terraced properties around Portrack to newer developments near Preston Park. We respond quickly to make properties safe.

We use electronic gas detectors and soapy water testing to check all joints, connections and pipework. After repairs, we conduct full system pressure testing and provide a safety certificate.

Complete Documentation

You'll receive a detailed report of work carried out, including photographs of the repair, new gas safety certificate, and any recommendations for additional safety measures or maintenance.

Signs You May Have a Gas Leak

⚠️

Smell of gas near appliances

If you smell gas around your boiler, cooker or fire, this could indicate a leak at the appliance connection or internal pipework. The smell is strongest near the source and may be more noticeable in still air.

⚠️

Hissing sounds from gas pipes

A hissing or whistling sound from pipework, meter connections, or behind kitchen units often indicates escaping gas. This is particularly common in older local properties where copper pipes have corroded.

⚠️

Dead vegetation near gas meter

Grass, plants or shrubs dying in a strip near your external gas meter or underground supply pipe can indicate an underground leak. This is more noticeable during growing seasons in spring and summer.

⚠️

White or dusty residue on pipes

A white, powdery substance around gas pipe joints or connections can indicate a small leak that's been present for some time. This is often found on older installations in Victorian terraces around central Stockton.

What to Do If You Suspect a Gas Leak

Turn off gas at the meter

Locate your gas meter (usually outside or in a meter cupboard) and turn the handle so it's at 90 degrees to the pipe. Don't use the emergency control valve unless instructed by gas emergency services.

Open doors and windows

Ventilate the property immediately by opening windows and doors. Don't operate light switches or electrical equipment, and extinguish naked flames including pilot lights on gas fires.

Call the Gas Emergency Service

If you smell gas, call the national gas emergency line on 0800 111 999 immediately. They will attend free of charge to make the supply safe, particularly important in Wigan's densely packed housing areas.

Evacuate if smell is strong

If the gas smell is very strong or getting worse, leave the property and call emergency services from outside. Don't re-enter until the gas emergency engineer confirms it's safe to do so.

How We Repair Gas Leaks

1

Gas detection survey

We use calibrated electronic gas detectors to trace the exact location of leaks, checking all pipework from the meter to appliances. Internal pipework is tested at working pressure according to IGE/UP/1B standards.

2

Isolate and repair section

The affected section is isolated and depressurised before repair. We cut out damaged pipe sections and install new pipework using compression fittings or brazed joints depending on the installation type.

3

Pressure testing and purging

After repair, the system is pressure tested at 20mb for domestic installations, then purged of air before reconnecting appliances. We test each appliance to ensure correct operation and safe combustion.

4

Final safety checks and certification

We conduct a full tightness test on the entire installation and check all appliance connections with leak detection fluid. You receive a safety certificate confirming the installation meets current regulations.
