Brentwood High Street

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.

We are working with Essex Highways Authority, who will be utilising the road closure to resurface the road whilst we complete our work.

The new pipes will help us to keep you safe and warm whilst reducing the likelihood of us having to come back to make repairs in the future.

The work on the High Street will be completed under a full road closure from Crown Street to St Thomas Road. The other sections of the High Street work will be completed with a lane closure only.

The High Street will be open for pedestrians at all times and access to businesses for deliveries will be maintained throughout. Diversions will be in place as applicable.

We are carrying out these works in three phases, approximately two weeks per phase.

Phase 1 & 2  - The High Street will be fully closed from Crown Street to St Thomas Road.

Phase 3 & 4  - A rolling lane closure along the High Street from Weald Road/Kings Road to Crown Street

Phase 5 & 6 - A rolling lane closure on the High Street from St Thomas Road to Wilson’s Corner roundabout (Ingrave Road/Ongar Road)

Collaborative working

To reduce future disruptions, we are collaborating with Essex Highways Authority who will be resurfacing the High Street at the same time, providing smoother, safer roads for the future. The street market will not be impacted by our joint work.

How will the works affect your roads?

The High Street will be fully closed to vehicles and affective becomes pedestrianised for the duration of both our works.

The final phases there will be lane closures in place.

If you have business deliveries, please speak to a member of our team on-site and they will be able to accommodate these for you.

Will my gas supply be interrupted?

We may need to interrupt your gas supply for a short time on one or two days and gain access to your property. You’ll receive a further letter to confirm if your gas supply will be interrupted and our engineers will confirm the exact date/s of interruption with you 48 hours before.

Thank you in advance for your patience while we carry out these essential upgrades to ensure that you can continue to receive a safe and reliable gas supply.
