Why act quickly on gas leaks and failed tests?
Gas leaks are a serious safety risk. Even small leaks can build up in enclosed spaces, increasing the chance of fire or explosion. Leaks can also cause high gas bills, poor appliance performance and disconnection from the network if they are not fixed.
If your gas supply has been turned off after a failed pressure test or you can smell gas, you need a licensed gas fitter to test the system, find the leak and carry out compliant repairs or renewals.
- Protect your home and family from fire and explosion risks
- Find and fix leaks that are wasting gas and money
- Restore gas supply after failed pressure tests
- Bring old or damaged gas pipework up to current standards
- Make sure all appliances are operating safely and correctly

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I smell gas?
- If you can smell gas, turn off appliances, open windows and doors, avoid flames or sparks and turn the gas off at the meter if it is safe to do so. Then call a licensed gas fitter as soon as possible. If the smell is very strong or you feel unsafe, contact emergency services.
Why has my gas been turned off after a test?
- If a gas pressure test fails, it usually means there is a leak or another safety issue somewhere in the system. The gas supply is turned off to prevent danger until a licensed gas fitter can locate and repair the problem and retest the system.
Do I always need a full gas line renewal if there is a leak?
-
Not always. Sometimes only a small section of pipe or a fitting needs to be repaired or replaced. If the pipework is very old, corroded or undersized, a full or partial renewal is often the safest long term option. We will explain the findings and options before going ahead.
How do you find a gas leak?
- We use approved testing methods, including pressure testing and leak detection equipment, to locate leaks. This may involve isolating sections of pipe, checking joints and fittings, and testing appliances and flexible connections.
What is involved in a gas line renewal?
- We plan a new route for the pipe where needed, isolate and make safe the existing line, then install new gas piping, supports and valves in line with current standards. Once complete, we pressure test the entire system, relight appliances and provide the required documentation.
