What to do in a gas emergency - Smell gas / gas leak


We are the UK’s largest gas distribution network, bringing gas to 11 million homes and businesses. We manage a network of more than 82,000 miles of pipes, most of them underground, which transport gas throughout the North West, West Midlands, East Midlands, East of England and North London.
We’re upgrading the old metal gas pipes along the High Street in Brentwood from 15 September 2025 for six weeks until 27 October 2025.
These works will take place from 9 September until 8 November 2025.
Cadent will begin essential work on 26 August to upgrade nearly a kilometre of gas pipeline along Birkenhead Road in Meols, Wirral.
This pioneering project will see gas distribution networks (GDNs) Cadent, SGN, Wales & West Utilities and Gas Networks Ireland work with innovators Bohr, Renda and Thyson Technology.
