Get help nowYour safety comes first. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, follow these steps immediately, before calling a plumber.
Call 0800 111 999 straight away, from outside the property. The emergency service is free, open 24 hours, and will send someone to make the supply safe.
If it is safe to do so, turn the lever on the emergency control valve next to your gas meter so it sits at a right angle to the pipe. This shuts off the supply to the whole property.
Open doors and windows. Do not smoke, use matches or lighters, operate light switches, plugs or doorbells, or use mobile phones inside the property — any spark can ignite gas.
Leave the property and wait outside for the emergency service. If anyone feels dizzy, sick, drowsy or has a headache, get them into fresh air and seek medical help — these can be signs of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The emergency service makes the gas safe but does not usually repair appliances. Once your supply has been capped, our Gas Safe registered engineers are with you within 45-60 minutes to find and fix the fault, with fixed-price repairs from £120+VAT.
We carry out a gas tightness test on your installation to confirm whether there is a leak and narrow down where it is — at a boiler, hob, fire, meter connection or along the pipework.
Failed joints, damaged pipework and faulty appliance connections are repaired or replaced. Appliances that cannot be repaired safely are disconnected and clearly labelled.
After the repair we re-test the installation for gas tightness, relight appliances, check flues and combustion, and only then restore your supply.
Mains gas has an added odour similar to rotten eggs. Any noticeable smell near appliances, the meter or pipework should be treated as an emergency.
Gas flames on hobs and boilers should burn crisp blue. Lazy yellow or orange flames, soot or staining around an appliance can indicate poor combustion.
If your CO alarm goes off, open windows, turn off appliances, leave the property and call 0800 111 999. Fit an audible CO alarm in every room with a gas appliance.
Gas Emergency Plumber is the kind of work where the difference between a good plumber and a poor one shows up months, not minutes, after the invoice. A push-fit fitting bodged behind plasterboard, a soil-pipe joint that isn't properly solvent-welded, a compression olive over-tightened onto old lead-lined copper — none of these fail immediately, but every one of them turns into an insurance claim within a year. When you book gas emergency plumber with us anywhere in Tower Hamlets, the engineer who attends is directly employed, DBS-checked, fully insured to £5 million public liability and — where the job touches gas — Gas Safe registered.
That employed-only model is why we can offer a written workmanship guarantee on every gas emergency plumber job and honour it without argument. It also means the person who diagnoses your fault is the person who fixes it, so there is no "the surveyor said one thing, the engineer said another" moment on the day. Across Tower Hamlets and the surrounding postcodes we run stocked long-wheelbase vans carrying compression fittings, push-fit spares, WRAS-approved brassware, common boiler PCBs, drain rods, high-pressure jetting kit and colour CCTV — enough to first-time-fix the majority of gas emergency plumber calls without a second visit.
You get a fixed price agreed before we start, an itemised invoice on completion, photographs of any concealed work and a copy of any pressure-test, tightness-test or CCTV video for your records. Landlords, managing agents and letting agents in Tower Hamlets routinely use these packs directly with their insurers, buildings insurers and — where relevant — the housing tribunal.
The first call is answered by a UK-based coordinator, not an overseas call centre. They will confirm your postcode in Tower Hamlets, ask a short set of triage questions (is water actively flowing? is the stopcock accessible? is there gas involved?) and either dispatch an engineer immediately for an emergency or book you in at a specific hour rather than a four-hour "window". You will receive an SMS with the engineer's name and live ETA.
On arrival the engineer isolates the affected supply, protects flooring and furniture, and diagnoses the fault. For gas emergency plumber that usually means one of a small number of failure modes, and we will explain what has failed, why, and what the two or three sensible repair options are — rather than defaulting to the most expensive. Everything gets a fixed written price before a spanner is turned. If a part needs to come from a merchant, most Central London and Home Counties merchants are within a 30-minute round trip; for less common parts we quote a return visit rather than sit on the clock.
On completion we pressure-test the affected section (or drop-test the drain, or tightness-test the gas), take before-and-after photographs, clean down the work area and issue a written invoice with the workmanship guarantee period clearly stated. You do not pay a penny until you have signed off the job on site.
Every gas emergency plumber job we complete in Tower Hamlets and the surrounding postcodes carries a written workmanship guarantee. Replacement parts carry the manufacturer's warranty, which for boiler components is typically 12 to 24 months and for brassware, valves and pumps 12 months as a minimum. Where the work involves Gas Safe notifiable installations we submit the Building Regulations notification to Gas Safe Register on your behalf and the certificate arrives at the property by post within ten working days.
Our public liability cover is £5 million and our employer's liability is £10 million — the certificates are on the van and we are happy to share them with any managing agent or insurer who asks. For commercial clients we can also provide method statements, RAMS, permit-to-work compliance and out-of-hours access arrangements as standard, at no extra cost, when the works are booked in advance.
We operate 24/7, 365 days a year across Tower Hamlets. Overnight, weekend and bank holiday call-outs use the same employed engineers as our weekday service — you are never handed over to a subcontractor at midnight — and the out-of-hours labour rate is quoted before we set off, never applied retrospectively.

A plumbing emergency is a problem that risks flooding, injury or serious property damage, such as a burst pipe, uncontrolled leak, overflowing sewage or a boiler leaking heavily. Shut off the water if safe, stop using affected fixtures and keep clear of wet electrics. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first. Urgent water leaks in Tower Hamlets can be handled by Emergency Plumber London.
A boiler not working can be an emergency if it leaves vulnerable people without heating, fails during freezing weather or leaks heavily. Check the thermostat, power supply and boiler display, but do not remove the casing or repeatedly reset it. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first. For urgent boiler problems in Tower Hamlets, Emergency Plumber London is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
A plumber can deal with gas only if they are Gas Safe registered and qualified for the particular work involved. Plumbing experience alone does not qualify someone to repair gas pipework, service a gas boiler or disconnect a gas appliance. Check the engineer’s Gas Safe ID card and the categories of work listed on it. Emergency Plumber London uses Gas Safe registered engineers for gas work.
An emergency gas safety response and a repair visit are different services; do not assume that subsequent repair work is included. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first. For repairs, Emergency Plumber London provides fixed-price repairs from £120+VAT, with the price confirmed on the phone before an engineer is sent.

If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first.
Even a tiny gas leak is serious: gas can accumulate in an enclosed space and create a fire or explosion risk. The strength of the smell does not reliably tell you how dangerous it is. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first, from outside. Avoid flames and electrical switches, and never try to locate or repair the leak yourself.
For a suspected gas leak in Tower Hamlets, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first, from outside. Do not operate electrical switches, smoke or use naked flames, and do not go back inside until told it is safe. The emergency service deals with the immediate danger; any subsequent repairs to gas appliances or internal pipework must be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer.
