What to do if you smell gas

Six things to do if you smell gas in the property:

  • DO NOT smoke or light matches
  • DO NOT turn electrical switches on or off
  • DO open doors and windows
  • DO turn off the meter at the control valve (UNLESS the smell of gas and the meter are in the cellar, as often this will need a light to be turned on)
  • DO call the free 24 hour National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 whether the smell is inside or outside the property. Don't wait to call - do it straight away.
  • DO call The Property Partnership after you have called the National Gas Emergency Service.
