What to Do If You Notice an LPG Smell
A calm, safety-first sequence to follow if you suspect an LPG leak at home.
LPG has a distinctive added odour so that leaks can be noticed early. If you smell it, act calmly and prioritise safety over investigation.
- Avoid flames, smoking and anything that could create a spark.
- Avoid switching electrical items or lights on or off.
- If it is safe to do so, ventilate the area by opening doors and windows.
- Leave the area and keep others away.
- Contact the appropriate emergency services or a qualified professional from a safe distance.
Do not attempt to locate or repair the source yourself. Only return once a qualified person confirms it is safe.
