What should I do if I suspect an LPG gas leak?

A harmless chemical called Mercaptan is added to Natural Gas and LPG to produce a rotten egg smell so you can detect and act quickly in case of a gas leak.

If you notice a sulfuric smell or a rotten egg odour at home or at work, follow these steps immediately:

When indoors:

• Eliminate any sources of ignition (electrical appliances, smoking, mobile phones)
• Leave the building immediately
• Call our emergency hotline at 0800 435 427. We’re ready to service all ELGAS equipment.

When outdoors:

• Stay away from the source of the odour, but try to determine where the smell is the strongest.
• Call our emergency hotline at 0800 435 427
• Eliminate any sources of ignition (electrical appliances, smoking, mobile phones)
• If possible, turn off the gas valve at the LPG bottle (gas cylinder).

If you think there is a massive gas leak that may be immediately dangerous to life or property, call emergency services on 111.
