Precautions for getting to know of a gas leak?

[Messy]

Hi Cynthia

I would strongly suggest that the risk to your sister and her kids from a natural gas or LPG leak is very low if certain precautions are followed

The most important thing is getting appliances and the installation installed, maintained and serviced by competent persons. To be able to legally work on gas apparatus in the UK, and engineer needs to be Gas Safe registered. He or she will have to pass assessments and maintain that qualification to stay on the register.

Natural gas is odourless, but the gas suppliers put a stenching agent in it to allow you to smell leaks. This is NOT the case with carbon monoxide that can be produced if gas doesn't burn efficiently. This gas is lethal and will kill you in your sleep.

You can but detectors that alert you to leaks of Carbon Monoxide gas https://www.safelincs.co.uk/search.php?q=co

and others that alert your to natural and bottled gas leaks https://www.safelincs.co.uk/domestic-ga ... tural-gas/

This will give you some peace of mind and allow you to sleep well at night. Good luck!!
