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: 0800 111 999.
• 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 a Gas Safe registered engineer to check and fix the appliance.

National Gas Emergency number 0800 111 999 is for England, Scotland and Wales.
