We look after more than 74,000 kilometres of pipes across our network. Making sure these pipes deliver your gas safely and reliably means that we need to upgrade or repair them at times. We know that roadworks can be frustrating, but our essential work keeps you, your family and local community safe.

Planned work
Tuesday 17 December - Festing Road, Southsea
We’re continuing emergency repairs to our gas network in Festing Road, Southsea, on the junction of Albert Road and Highland Road. Our work has been planned in close consultation with the local authorities.
In the early stages of this critical project we attempted to repair our gas main, but due to its condition we took the difficult decision to replace the main with new modern plastic pipe instead. We realise this is a traffic sensitive location, but replacing the main now will reduce the overall inconvenience of future repairs and ensure a safe and reliable gas supply to the local community for many years to come.
This is complex engineering project which has been delayed due the requirement of ordering specialist fittings for the gas main replacement. Once the repair is complete, the restoration of the road surface will also take longer than normal due to limited access to reinstatement materials during the festive period.
All going well, we’re aiming to complete the replacement of gas main by the end of January. We apologise for the disruption caused by this work and would like to thank the Southsea community for your ongoing patience and support.
Friday 23 August - Kingsmills Road, Inverness
We need to carry out emergency gas mains replacement work to our network in the Kingsmills Road area of Inverness to ensure the area continues to receive a continued safe and reliable gas supply.
Our project will begin on 26 August 2024 and last approximately 17 weeks.
We’re carrying out our work in phases to reduce disruption as much as possible. Kingsmills Road will be closed in three phases.
Emergency vehicle access will be maintained during our work. Please note access into the Nursing Home will be open.
All business in the area will be open as normal during our work and access for residents will be always maintained throughout the project.
Emergency gas pipe repairs
When upgrading pipes or installing a new connection, we can plan the roadworks in advance. But when safety is at stake we must respond quickly and efficiently, and this may mean having to carry out streetworks at very short notice or at night. Sometimes we have to start work before the information filters through to our map. When that happens, we’ll add that information here.
Monday 20 January - A25 Reigate Hill, Reigate
Our engineers are on site at the A25 Reigate Hill, following reports of a gas escape near the M25 junction 8 exit slip.
To keep everyone safe around our work area we’ve closed the left hand lane of the roundabout.
It’s too early to say how long our emergency repairs will take but please be assured we are aware this is a busy area and will work as quickly as possible.
Monday 20 January - Brighton Road, Sutton
Our engineers are investigating the source of a reported gas escape on Brighton Road, near its junctions with Cedar Road. To keep everyone safe around our work site we’ve needed to install temporary three-way traffic lights.
We're currently working at the junction with Cedar Road under temporary traffic lights. At the moment, we hope to have completed emergency repairs at this location on 27 January.
Once we’ve completed our work at the junction with Cedar Road, we’ll continue our investigations between the junctions of Effingham Close and Christchurch Park. This work and any emergency repairs will also require two-way temporary traffic lights for everyone's safety.
We recognise this is a traffic sensitive location and to help with this we have an operative on site between 7am and 7pm to manually control the traffic lights. We’re working extended hours where possible, although there may be times that we need to divert our resources away to assist on other reported escapes with an immediate threat to life or property.
We’re sorry for the disruption being caused and thank the local community for their patience while we carry out this essential work.
Wednesday 15 January - Amherst Hill, Riverhead, Sevenoaks
Our engineers attending a reported gas escape in Amhert Hill.
To ensure everyone's safety while we work, temporary traffic lights are in place, outside Miller&Carter.
It’s too early to say how long our emergency repairs will take but please be assured we are aware this is a busy area and will work as quickly as possible.
Monday 13 January - A90 Forfar Road, Dundee
We're carrying out repairs to our gas network in the A90 Forfar Road in Dundee.
For everyone's safety, we've temporarily closed the inside northbound lane.
It's too soon to say how long our repair will take but we're working to complete it as quickly as we can.
Thursday 2 January - High Street, Hailsham
We’re carrying out emergency repairs to our gas network in the High Street in Hailsham.
For everyone’s safety around our work area, we’ve temporarily closed the High Street at the church. A signed diversion is in place for road users.
Our work involves a specialist repair and it’s currently too soon to say when we’ll be able to reopen the road. Thank you to the local community for their patience.
