Safety first

During demolition work, failing to properly disconnect the gas supply can pose serious risks to contractors, nearby individuals and surrounding properties. For maximum safety, the gas supply must be disconnected at the host main, often located in the public highway.

Once all identified supplies are safely cut off, our engineers will issue a Gas Disconnection Certificate, confirming that work can proceed safely.

To provide an accurate quote, we ask that you submit a plot diagram showing the existing meter location and the desired disconnection point.
