Suspect a gas leak?
Put safety first.

Request urgent qualified assessment when a gas leak is suspected.

Do not use a booking form as the first response to a strong gas smell or immediate hazard. Move away from the affected area and contact the gas emergency service from a safe place; call 000 for an immediate threat to life. A provider can assess private pipework once the immediate situation is safe.

Water going where it shouldn’t?

Active flooding, a sewage overflow or a suspected gas leak needs immediate attention. An online request is not an emergency dispatch.

What’s happening,
and what can help?

A suspected gas leak requires direct emergency or specialist contact from a safe place. Use the emergency number on your gas bill for the relevant gas service, and call 000 for an immediate threat to life. HireJuno’s enquiry form does not dispatch emergency assistance.

Gas appliance work needs the appropriate gasfitting qualifications. This illustration describes an assessment, not instructions to open, adjust or test an appliance yourself.

Do not let a service request delay the immediate response

Keep away from the affected area and obtain direction through the appropriate gas emergency contact. Do not disturb suspected gas fittings or remove appliance covers to find a source. A website form is useful for later job information, but it does not establish that the situation is safe or that anyone is on the way.

Once the immediate response is arranged, record what was observed and any action or instruction given by the attending service. State whether supply has been isolated and which appliances or areas are involved. The next provider needs that history to understand the remaining private-property work.

Investigation and reinstatement need a defined specialist scope

A qualified provider may need to distinguish private pipework, appliance connections and an internal appliance fault. These are different work boundaries. Ask what will be tested, what repair is proposed and whether another specialist or the gas service must be involved.

The handover should explain completed work, remaining restrictions and the process before affected equipment returns to use. Do not assume the absence of a smell proves that a repair is complete. Follow the responsible provider’s instructions and retain the relevant findings and documentation.

The recommended work depends on the actual condition and access. These are options to discuss.

Options for gas leak investigation
Approach	When it can help	What to check
Emergency gas-service response	A suspected active gas escape requiring immediate direction.	This is contacted directly; the HireJuno form is not an emergency channel.
Qualified private-system investigation	Further assessment or repair after the immediate situation is addressed.	Appliance, pipework and supply responsibilities need to be confirmed.

Good questions to ask

Your questions, answered.

Not sure which service fits? Describe the symptoms in your request.

Tell us about your job

Should I submit a form and wait if I smell gas?

No. A strong gas smell or immediate hazard requires contact with the gas emergency service from a safe place. An online request does not confirm attendance.

Does this include appliance servicing?

Not automatically. Mention the appliance and the symptoms so the appropriate scope can be arranged.

Can I use an online request to find out whether a gas smell is dangerous?

No. A suspected gas escape needs direct contact with the appropriate gas emergency service from a safe place. Do not wait for an enquiry response to assess the hazard.

Does investigating the pipework include repairing every gas appliance?

Not automatically. Appliance components and private pipework can require different specialist scopes. Identify the equipment and ask who is responsible for each part.
