There are two different options when you suspect a gas leak, and
ignoring it is not one of them. This may sound obvious, but it would
not be the first time that I come across a bad one and the owner or
tenant tells me that it has probably been there for a while, but
they didn't think it was that bad. The two safe options are to call
Registered Gas Installer, which is somebody that is on the Gas Safe
Register, or the gas emergency service at 0800 111 999.
It is important to realise that this is NOT British Gas. BG are just a
commercial company these days and are bound to charge you heavily
whether there is a leak or not. The gas emergency service for south
east London and Bromley can be carried out by Southern Gas Networks, or their subcontractor Morrison,
but they all work in the same manner. They all come out 24/7 any day
of the year. They usually arrive very fast, often in less than half
an hour. They will work as long as it takes to make sure that when
they leave, there is no gas leak. It will never cost you, regardless
of whether or not it was false alarm or how often they come to your
address.
The downside of this service is that they only make safe,
in other words they assure that there is not gas escape when they
leave. They do not repair any leaks inside your property, which is
where the registered gas installer or heating engineer comes in to
carry out the actual emergency gas leak repair.
The engineer that comes out first after you have called 0800 111 999 may be able to
determine exactly where the gas leak is, in which case the gas
installer will be able to do his job quicker, and you have saved
some money.
Sometimes they can not find the exact location in which
case they simply cap your gas. The priority for the people that come
out free of charge to you, is to make safe. They will try to help to
prevent you from freezing to death, but that is about it. It is the
Registered Gas Installer that will do his best to take care of the
emergency gas leak repair as soon as reasonably possible whilst
remaining safe. You don't have to call 0800 111 999 if you smell gas
or think you may have a gas escape for another reason. It is
perfectly ok to call a central heating engineer in Bromley or south east
London direct. Anyone who works on your boiler should be able to
solve the problem for you.
The important part is not who makes sure
that you are safe, but that they do it properly. There are a few
things you an do to speed it all up. We will need to get to the
gasmeter at least twice, probably more times. The easier the access
is, the quicker the job gets done. Gas meters are often under
staircases or in basements, and both are usually full of things
people don't need very often. If your house is the same, it helps if
you start moving things out of the way before we arrive. Please
remember the essentials of what to do when you think you smell gas,
and feel free to bookmark this page and call it: "GAS LEAKS" or
something like that.
Better have it and not need it than need as theysay.
If you THINK you smell gas, treat it as if
you DO smell gas. In case of doubt, DO call the alarm number. Erring
on the side of caution means calling the number, do NOT wait until
you are sure there is a leak. Calling for a false alarm is NOT
silly. NOBODY will hold it against you, or charge you if you call
0800 111 999, it doesn't matter if they actually find a gas leak or
not. It is like throwing a life line, you don't wait until you can
prove somebody is drowning, you throw it as soon as YOU are
convinced somebody MAY be in trouble. There is NO limit on how often
you can call them. If you need somebody today to deal with an
emergency gas leak repair in south east London or Bromley, simply
