How Does a Gas Leak Show Itself?
Escaping gas leaves clues around the house and the yard:
- The added odour, strongest beside an appliance or the meter
- Burners that have lost their crisp blue colour
- A pilot flame that keeps dropping out, or an appliance switching itself off
- Feeling light-headed indoors and better outside
- A strip of lawn or garden dying off above a buried supply pipe
Any one of these is worth a check. The odour together with another clue makes it urgent.
What Comes First When You Smell Gas?
Safety outranks diagnosis. Before anyone starts looking for the fault:
- 1
Move the whole household, animals included, out into the open air.
- 2
Prop the doors open as you go, and leave every switch and plug exactly as it is.
- 3
Once you are outside, report the smell to the gas network's emergency line. A leak at the meter or in the street supply is theirs to repair.
- 4
Once the network gives the all-clear, we come in to trace and fix whatever remains on your side.
How We Find and Fix It
- 01
Trace
The plumber works from the meter through every branch with a gas detector, reading the concentration as it moves until one stretch of pipe stands out. Where the line runs under floor or lawn, the pipe locator maps it before anything gets opened.
- 02
Repair
The faulty section is cut out and replaced with new fittings at every joint it touches. Old connections near the repair get checked too, because a line is only as tight as its weakest join.
- 03
Test
The finished run is pressure tested and every appliance on it is relit and checked for clean combustion. Nothing gets handed back until the readings say tight.
How the Repair Is Priced
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
The figure turns on the job itself:
- Where the damaged section is buried, since pipe under concrete costs more to reach than pipe in a cupboard
- What the old line is made of, because a repair on aged copper or a patched run can mean replacing more than the leaking joint
- Whether appliances need relighting and recommissioning after the repair
- Timing, as a repair after dark sits on the after-hours rate
If you are adding an appliance rather than fixing a fault, the gas fitting hub lays out new lines and extensions, and new connections are explained under appliance installation.

When We're Not the Right Call
A smell at or beside the meter itself, before any house line is involved, is the gas network's to make safe first. Ring their emergency number, and our part starts at your side of the boundary. For water escaping rather than gas, go to water leak detection, and a burst water pipe at night is handled by our emergency plumber team.
Gas Leak Questions From Windale
A gas smell inside the house: what comes first?
People first: everyone out, and no switches flicked or plugs pulled as you go. Report it to the gas network's emergency line from the footpath or yard. When they have made it safe, we find the fault on your pipework, repair it and pressure test the result.
Do you take gas leak calls from tenants, or only from agents?
Tenants can ring us directly, since a gas smell cannot wait for an agent's office to open. We give the tenant a time, and the landlord or agent receives the repair photos and invoice once the line has passed its test.
Can a leak hide with no smell at all?
Yes. Small leaks underground or under a floor can lose their odour before they reach your nose, and a dying appliance can burn badly without smelling strong. Our gas detectors read parts per million, so yellow flames and indoor headaches are still reasons to book a check even with no smell.
Is the repaired gas line covered by your warranty?
It is. The repair carries our 365-day warranty on all work, and the finished line is pressure tested before we hand it back, so the cover starts from a line that is proven tight.
