Do not use any electrical switches, light matches, or smoke. Open all doors and windows to ventilate the area and leave the building immediately.

Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 from a safe location. They are available 24/7 and will respond quickly to ensure your safety.

Once it’s safe, contact a Gas Safe registered engineer to inspect and repair the issue. Never attempt to fix a gas leak yourself.
