What causes smell of gas in Manchester

• 01
  Ageing fittings

  Compression joints and flexible hoses behind cookers work loose over decades.

• 02
  DIY and damage

  A nail through a buried run, a cooker moved for cleaning, the classics.

• 03
  Appliance faults

  Poor combustion produces carbon monoxide without any gas smell, which is what the alarm is for.

• 04
  Corroded pipework

  Buried steel gas barrel rusts from the outside in, especially under solid floors.

Local conditions we work around

Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 first, in every case, before us or anyone else. Once the supply is made safe, the repairs we most often carry out across Greater Manchester are on ageing internal runs in the byelaw terraces and 1930s semis, where the pipework has been extended piecemeal over decades for a new hob, a fire or a back-boiler that has since gone. Every one of those old capped spurs is a joint that can eventually weep.
