How Do You Know It Is Gas?
Gas gives itself away in a few ways:
- A smell like rotten eggs around the stove, heater or meter, getting stronger nearer the source
- A faint hiss from a pipe, flexible hose or regulator
- A patch of dead lawn or garden over a buried pipe with no other cause
- Burners that will not hold a steady blue flame
- Headaches or dizziness that clear once you are outside
One sign is reason to act. Two together means treating it as a leak until a test proves otherwise.

- 02

- 04
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
The line is pressure tested again with the appliances lit, and a compliance certificate records the repair. If the trace shows an old appliance that should be replaced rather than a leaking pipe, the gas appliance installation page covers the swap.
What Changes the Price of a Leak Repair?
The first driver is where the leak is: a hose behind a cooktop is quick to reach, while a pipe buried under paving takes digging and reinstatement.
- What needs replacing One perished fitting is less work than a rusted stretch of pipe.
- How much is tested Checking every appliance on the line takes longer than one suspect joint.
- When you need it A leak repair booked at night or on a weekend carries its own rate, given before the booking.
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

Gas Leak Questions From Caves Beach
There is a gas smell in my Caves Beach house. What do I do first?
Leave switches, appliances and any flame alone and get everyone out. Phone the gas network's emergency number once you are outside or at a neighbour's. Once the network gives the all-clear, ring us to trace, fix and test the leak for a price you agree first.
Do you trace gas leaks in Swansea and Pinny Beach as well?
Yes. An older Swansea home with original gas pipe and a new Pinny Beach build with fresh fittings are both traced with the same detectors and pressure test, and both get a fixed figure before repairs.
Does salt air make gas fittings fail faster here?
Yes. Sea air corrodes outdoor taps, valves and copper on this exposed coast, and the gas regulator, meter connection and outside pipe are no exception. So a leak check here always covers the outside of the house as well as the kitchen.
Is the gas leak repair covered by the warranty?
Yes. A leak repair carries our 365-day warranty on all work like any other job. If the repair is not right, ring the same number and it is put right, then pressure tested again.
