Call Transco's gas emergency service
on 0800 111 999
Transco operates their round-the-clock 365-days-a-year emergency service
for gas escapes. They will stop an escape in the home or in the street
free of charge.
If you need a Transco engineer at your property, the engineer will
carry out a soundness test at the meter to establish whether there
is an escape on the customer side of the emergency control valve.
This done, the engineer will inspect gas appliances and installations
in the property, evaluating if there is any immediate danger, whether
there is an "At Risk" situation, a "concern for safety"
or whether the property is safe.
