Smell Gas? Get Outside First

Safety comes ahead of any plumbing. When the house smells of gas:

Get everyone out of the house, pets included, and stay out.
Leave switches, lights and anything electrical alone; one spark is enough.
From the street or the far end of the yard, ring the gas distributor's emergency line.
Then call us to find and fix the leak in your own pipework.

Once the house is safe, the hunt is our job. This page covers leak traces and repairs. New cooktops, ovens and barbecues are gas appliance installation work, and every gas service is listed under gas fitting. Your plumber in Weston sends licensed gas fitters to every leak job.

What Are the Signs of a Gas Leak?

Leaks show up differently depending on where the pipe has failed. The ones worth a trace:

The rotten-egg odourant, strongest near a stove, heater or the meter.
A faint hiss from a pipe or joint that you only hear at night.
A burner flame that has turned lazy and yellow.
Headaches or dizziness that fade once you are out of the house.
A dead patch in the lawn above a buried run.

One sign is reason enough to book a trace. Two at once, ring now.

How the Leak Trace Runs

01
Shut the gas off
The meter is turned off so the leak has no supply while we work.
02
Trace it
Gas detectors are run over the full run of pipe, and the pipe locator shows where the line travels under floors and gardens, which matters in older homes where records are thin.
03
Repair
The failed fitting or joint is exposed, fixed or replaced, and obsolete parts are adapted to current stock.
04
Test and relight
The repaired line holds a pressure test, then every appliance is relit and checked.

How Is a Leak Repair Priced?

We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.

The figure on a leak job moves with:

Where the fault sits, because a leak behind a stove is quicker work than one under a floor or out in the garden.
Access, since buried pipe and lines under cottages take longer to reach.
The parts, with older homes here sometimes running fittings that need adapting.
The after-hours rate, quoted before any night job starts.

Old Pipe Under Old Ground

The gas lines under Weston are as old as the homes they feed

Cottages built beside the Hebburn pits, and the mid-century weatherboard that followed, can carry obsolete gas fittings no supplier stocks, so a repair here can mean adapting the old part to a current one.

Reactive clay does the rest

The soil under town swells wet and shrinks dry through the year, and that slow movement works joints loose, above all on a buried line.

When We're Not the Right Call

A fault at the meter or in the street supply is the distributor's

If our detector puts the leak there, you ring their faults line and they repair it. A heater waiting on manufacturer parts gets an honest wait time and a quote built around it.

Some jobs connect to other pages

A gas hot water unit that has quit is a hot water job, and a burst pipe flooding a floor at night is one for our emergency plumber service.

Gas Leak Detection FAQs

Is a gas smell in my Weston house an after-hours call?

Yes. A suspected leak is answered at any hour, since we are Available 24/7. Get everyone out, leave switches alone and report it to the distributor, then ring us to trace and repair your own pipework.

Can you repair the leak on the same visit you find it?

In many cases. A leak at a fitting near an appliance can be fixed on the spot, since standard parts travel in the van. Where a section of pipe has to be replaced, the fixed figure is on paper first and nothing happens without your yes.

Who handles a leak out past the meter on my property?

The distributor owns the street main and the meter, so faults there are theirs. From the meter inward, through the house and out to each appliance, the trace, repair and certification are ours, and the detectors show which side the fault falls on.

Do obsolete fittings in an older cottage have to be replaced?

Not always, but a fitting nobody stocks any more is best swapped during the repair, because a patch on a worn thread seldom holds. You see what the trace found and the permanent fix is quoted before work starts.
