Testing of the installation where loss of tightness is suspected and it is safe to carry out the checks.

Pipework investigation

Tracing accessible gas pipework and connections where the source of a fault is not obvious.

Appliance isolation checks

Investigation to help separate an appliance issue from a pipework or installation issue.

Post-emergency follow-up

Important safety information

Smell gas or suspect an active gas escape?

Call the National Gas Emergency Service immediately on 0800 111 999. Do not rely on this form or wait for a normal appointment.

How we approach it

Safety comes before fault finding

This service is for proper investigation once it is safe to work on the installation. We do not use a website enquiry as the first response to an active suspected gas escape.

Questions

Gas Leak Investigation FAQs

What should I do if I can smell gas now?

Do not wait for an online enquiry. Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 and follow their safety advice.

Can you investigate a gas leak after the supply has been isolated?

Yes, where the situation has been made safe and investigation or remedial work is then required.

Does a failed tightness test always mean replacing all the pipework?

No. The next step depends on where the loss is found, access and the condition of the installation.
