What Are the Signs of a Gas Leak?
- A rotten-egg smell near a cooktop, heater, meter or bayonet point
- Burners showing yellow or orange flames instead of blue
- A faint hiss near a pipe joint or appliance connection
- Dizziness or a headache inside the house that clears in the fresh air
- A pressure test that fails during an appliance swap
How Is a Gas Leak Found?
The line is isolated in sections and pressure tested to show which length is losing gas. A gas detector then follows that length joint by joint until it reads the leak. The faulty joint or pipe is repaired, and the whole line is tested again before any appliance is relit.

When We're Not the Right Call
A leak on the supply side of your meter is outside what we repair, and the gas distributor's crew attends to it. An appliance still under its maker's warranty may need the manufacturer's agent once the pipe is proven sound. Connecting a new appliance to a sound line is covered under gas appliance installation, and the wider gas fitting work sits on its own page.
Gas Leak Questions From Islington Homes
What should I do first if I smell gas in Islington?
Get everyone out and do not operate switches, the doorbell or a phone inside. From outside, call the gas network's emergency line, then call us on (02) 4063 1232. We are Available 24/7, and the repair starts once the network has made the supply safe.
Are the old steel gas lines in Islington cottages a leak risk?
They can be. Gas reached this suburb early, and original steel pipe with perished jointing compound still sits inside some cottage walls. A pressure test proves the line sound or points to the length that is bleeding gas.
Do walls have to come down to find a leak?
Not to find it. A gas detector follows the pipe, and isolating sections narrows the leak to one length. Only the spot that needs repair is opened, and that opening is priced before a single board or brick is disturbed.
Who repairs a leak at the gas meter?
Gas meters, and the service pipe feeding them, are the distributor's assets and are fixed by its own emergency crew. Downstream of the meter outlet, the pipe and appliances are ours to test and repair.
