Property inspections: Gas safety

Gas appliances can be a hazard if they are not properly maintained. A poorly maintained gas appliance may produce carbon monoxide, which can be fatal if breathed in, or be a fire risk (see more information on carbon monoxide below).

What you can do to keep yourself safe from gas

Smell gas, act fast!

If you smell gas, or suspect there is a gas escape, immediately open all doors and windows and shut off the gas supply tap. This is usually located next to the gas meter, but you should check to make sure. You should then call the Cadent Gas emergency line on 0800 111 999.
