Got an emergency?
Here's what to do
Gas emergencies
There's a problem with my gas supply
Can you smell gas, or are concerned about your gas safety? If yes;
1. Call the National Grid immediately on 0800 111 999.
2. Ventilate your property by opening all doors and windows
3. Don’t use any electrical equipment within your property such as light switches, mobile phones etc.
4. Don’t use anything that would emit a naked flame, such as lighters, matches etc.
5. Turn off the gas using the emergency control valve (ECV), this is usually found alongside the meter.
I can smell gas and my meter was installed within the last 10 days

I can’t smell gas, but I’m having a problem with an internal appliance
We suggest that you get in touch with a ‘Gas Safe’ registered engineer to investigate as soon as possible. If the ‘Gas Safe’ engineer identifies the problem is with your meter, please get in touch with us on 0345 034 7474, and we’ll be more than happy to help resolve your issue.
Electrical emergencies
There’s a problem with my electricity supply
The first thing you need to do is to check your fuse box. If any of the fuses have tripped, we suggest that you turn off all appliances, and reset the switch. If your fuse hasn't tripped and your neighbours are also without power, there may be an issue within the wider network. In this situation you can call 105; this’ll take you straight through to your electricity network operator, who can provide you with more information on the situation.
