    Critical Signs You May Have a Gas Leak or Pressure Issue

    Gas safety is paramount for any household. Understanding the warning signs of gas leaks or pressure faults can protect your family and property.

    Key Signs of a Gas Safety Issue

    • Sulfur or rotten egg odor near gas appliances or meters
    • Boiler repeatedly dropping pressure or shutting down
    • Yellow or orange lazy flames on gas hobs instead of crisp blue flames
    • Sooty marks or scorching on or around gas appliances
    • Hissing sounds near gas supply pipework

    If you suspect a gas leak, isolate your main gas supply valve immediately and call a registered Gas Safe Engineer.
