What Should You Do if You Smell Gas?
Treat it as a safety call first, not a plumbing booking. Get everyone outside, leave the lights and switches alone, and ring the gas network's emergency line before anything else. Once the network side is safe, we find the leak on the house side, fix it and pressure test every joint before you turn anything back on.
How We Find and Fix a Gas Leak
Finding the fault comes before touching a fitting:
Gas detectors
Pressure testing
Repair and retest
Gas repairs are licensed work, and our gas fitters hold that licence. The paperwork and the test result come with the job, so you know the line was proven sound, not just guessed at.
Available 24/7, because a gas smell does not keep business hours. That matters most on a Friday afternoon, when waiting until Monday is not a real option. It is why this review sits well with the work:
"We had an urgent gas problem that required immediate attention at our home…on a Friday afternoon. … Identified the issue, fixed and tested" Lee

What Drives the Price of a Repair?
The price starts with the spot the gas is escaping from:
- Location of the fault A loose union behind the cooktop is a quick fix; a buried run under a cottage floor is not.
- Pipe condition A single failed fitting is repaired; a corroded line that fails the pressure test may need a section renewed.
- Access Lines under raised floors or behind renovated walls take longer to reach and to make good.
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead. You see the price first, and nothing is added after.
When We're Not the Right Call
A leak at the meter or out toward the street belongs to the gas network, so ring their emergency line rather than us. If our detectors find no gas at all, you don't pay for a repair that isn't needed.
Gas Leak FAQs
Is a gas leak an emergency?
Yes. A smell of gas inside means everyone heads outside, switches stay untouched, and the gas network's emergency line gets rung first. Once the network has made things safe, we trace the fault downstream of the meter on your side and repair it.
Do you attend gas leaks in Wallsend at night?
We do. Available 24/7 means a smell of gas picked up at midnight gets the same process as one noticed over breakfast: make it safe, then trace and repair.
Can you find a leak in the old gas line of a miners' cottage?
Yes. Pipe in the pre-1940 cottages here can be decades old, so we pressure test the run and use gas detectors to pinpoint the fault before any pipe is opened.
How much does gas leak detection cost in Wallsend?
It comes down to how buried the leak is and how hard it is to reach. We inspect, name a fixed figure up front, and the invoice matches it if you go ahead.
