Gas Meter

SwanseaSouthStander

Hi all,

Just wondering do British gas charge for changing a meter? I just had a wiff of gas when I walked past the meter and the pipes going to the meter look rusty. I've turned the gas off for now, do they charge double time because of the weekend?

What should I do if I smell gas?

Contact Transco, the gas emergency service, on 0800 111999. Advice from Transco if you smell gas is:

• Don’t smoke or strike matches
• Don’t turn electrical switches on or off
• Do put out naked flames
• Do open doors and windows
• Do keep people away from the affected area
• Do turn off the meter at the control valve

As above - call the emergency number.
There won't be a charge for the visit (although if the leak is inside the property, you would probably need a GasSafe (Nee Corgi) engineer to fix it

call the emergency number now it is free to make you safe which if you have a smell of gas is a priority, the emergency engineer will do what they need to do and sort it out and if you need a gas safe engineer or to contact you supplier once the engineer has located leak then they will advise you accordingly.


also open doors and windows to ventilate the property,
open doors manually do not use intercoms door bells etc
