Emergency guidance

Gas or Carbon Monoxide Emergency

If you smell gas or suspect carbon monoxide, do not wait for a repair engineer. Move to a safe place and contact the National Gas Emergency Service immediately. Do not smoke, use a naked flame or operate electrical switches. Open doors and windows and turn off the gas at the meter only if you can do so safely; do not enter a cellar to reach it. Seek urgent medical help if anyone feels unwell.

For Rapid repair enquiries after the immediate danger has been addressed, call 020 8153 8818.

The National Gas Emergency Service is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and operates throughout Great Britain.

Emergency Heating FAQs

24/7 heating help

Our London engineers can help immediately

Yes. Our engineers are available across London for same-day and emergency heating repairs, subject to availability. Contact us as early as possible for non-urgent same-day bookings.

Repair time depends on the fault and whether replacement parts are required. Straightforward work, such as replacing a thermostat or valve, may take one to two hours. More complex system faults can take longer, but the engineer will keep you informed throughout.

Arrange servicing at least once a year, or as recommended by the manufacturer, to support safe, efficient operation and reduce the chance of unexpected breakdowns. Gas appliances must be inspected and worked on by an appropriately qualified Gas Safe registered engineer.

Warning signs include no heating or hot water, uneven radiator temperatures, repeated pressure loss, leaks, unusual banging or gurgling noises, an unresponsive thermostat, a pilot light that keeps going out, or a carbon monoxide alarm being activated.

A complete loss of heating or hot water, a serious leak, flooding, or a fault that creates a risk to health or property may require urgent attention. A suspected gas leak or carbon monoxide incident is a gas emergency and must be reported immediately using the emergency guidance above.
