Can you smell gas?

Feeling ill? Headaches… nausea… dizziness?

Badly fitted and poorly serviced gas boilers, cookers and fires can cause gas leaks, fires, explosions and carbon monoxide poisoning.

In a gas emergency act quickly and take the following safety steps:

• Get fresh air immediately. Open all doors and windows to ventilate the room
• Switch off the appliance and do not use it again until it has been checked by a Gas Safe registered engineer
• Turn off the gas supply at the mains
• Call the National Gas Emergency number (see below)
• If you are feeling ill visit your GP or the hospital immediately and tell them that your symptoms may be related to carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Contact us to check all your gas appliances.

National Gas Emergency number: 0800 111 999.
