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
Friday 14 June - Holmquarry Road, Kilmarnock
We've recently been carrying out emergency repairs to our gas main in Holmquarry Road, Kilmarnock. We've now taken the decision, in close consultation with North Ayrshire Council, to replace a section of the gas main in Holmquarry Road with new modern plastic pipe.
This will ensure a safe and reliable gas supply for many years to come and help prevent future disruption caused by any unplanned, urgent repairs.
To complete our work safely we'll need to close Holmquarry Road, between its junctions with Burnside Street and Greenholm Street, from Monday 17 June for six weeks.
All local businesses in the area will be accessible and open as normal during this work.
We'd like to thank Kilmarnock businesses and residents for your continued support and patience.
Wednesday 22 May - Crewe Road South, Edinburgh
After investigations into a smell of gas at the Crewe Road South junction, our specialist team of engineers have decided to fully replace our gas network at this location. We understand this will be disruptive, but the work will prevent future emergency work and disruption.
In order to do this work safely, the temporary road closure in Crewe Road South, between its junctions with Carrington Road and Craigleith Road, will remain in place. The road is closed in both directions.
For safety reasons and to help the flow of traffic (including emergency services) around our work, Edinburgh City Council has asked us to temporarily close Craigleith Hill Avenue at its junction with Crewe Road.
A signed diversion will be in place via Carrington Road, East Fettes Avenue and Comley Bank Road.
Please be advised, this road closure will affect motorists travelling to and from Western General Hospital. Please allow extra time for your journey. We're liaising closely with the emergency service to limit disruption.
We know this is a busy route and will be working extended hours to complete this upgrade work as quickly and safely as possible.
We expect this work to take five more weeks to complete.
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.
Tuesday 2 July - A25, Reigate
Following further investigations as we urgently repair our network along the A25, we're unable to complete a permanent fix and will be replacing the affected section of pipe.
Our engineers will be replacing 75m of pipe and the road remains closed to motorists in both directions, between its junctions with Flanchford Road and Colleymanor Drive.
A signed diversion is in place for affected road users. Eastbound motorists should follow the diversion route via A24, A240, A217 and A25. For westbound motorists, please follow A217, A240, A3, A243 and A24.
This closure is expected to last approximately two weeks. We're working between 6am and 10pm to complete this work as safely and quickly as possible.
Tuesday 25 June - Sandhurst Road, Tunbridge Wells
We're carrying out urgent repairs to our gas network in Sandhurst Road, Tunbridge Wells.
For everyone's safety around our work area, we've installed temporary three-way traffic lights at the junction with Brook Road.
It's too soon to say how long our repair will take but we'll provide updates here.
Monday 10 June - Verwood Road, Three Legged Cross
We’re carrying out emergency gas main replacement work in Verwood Road, Three Legged Cross. Due to unforeseen engineering challenges requiring deeper excavations and ordering new parts, we’ll now be completing our work one week later than previously expected.
We will complete our work and be off the road by Friday 14 June. For everyone's safety, temporary traffic lights will remain in operation until then.
Further replacement work is planned to replace all of the remaining old cast iron gas mains along Verwood Road. This project is currently being planned and we’ll communicate with residents and the wider community as soon as we have confirmed start dates.
Tuesday 28 May - Station Road, North Berwick
We’re continuing emergency repairs to our gas network in the Station Road area of North Berwick.
For everyone’s safety, Station Road remains closed both ways at its junction with Station Hill and Dirleton Avenue.
Our repairs in this location are complex due the depth of our gas main, and the close proximity and number of cables and pipes of other underground utilities.
Due to the nature of this emergency work, it’s still too difficult to say when our work will be completed. Our engineers will continue to work seven days and extended hours whenever possible.
Tuesday 21 May - Friars Lane, Inverness
We're carrying out emergency repairs in the Friars Lane area of Inverness.
For everyone's safety, we'll be installing temporary traffic lights at the junction with Academy Street and Chapel Street.
We're anticipating our work at this location could take two weeks.
Please leave extra time for your journey as this is a busy route, especially during rush hour.
Thursday 16 May - Woolwich Road, London,SE7
We're carrying out emergency repairs in the A206 Woolwich Road, London.
For everyone's safety, Woolwich Road is closed westbound between Eastmoor Street and Woolwich Church Street. A signed diversion is in place for motorists.
Please leave extra time for your journey and please note that local buses are also being diverted.
It's too early to say how long repairs will take to complete however, the road is likely to remain closed westbound into the weekend.
We'll post updates on our progress here.
Tuesday 23 April - Popley Way, Basingstoke
We’re carrying out emergency work in Popley Way, Basingstoke, to improve the gas pressure in our network. This essential work involves increasing the size of the gas service to Apollo Hotel.
To ensure everyone’s safety, we have closed Popley Road one-way, for motorists entering Popley Way from Aldermaston Roundabout. A signed diversion route is in place. Motorists exiting Popley Way onto the roundabout are unaffected.
All going well, we hope to complete our work, restore the road surface and reopen Popely Way as normal by Wednesday 1 May.
We apologise for any disruption and would like to thank anyone affected for your patience while we carry out this urgent work.
Thursday 18 April - Strathmore Street, Perth
We're carrying out urgent network repairs at the junction of Strathmore Street and Isla Road.
Our engineers are working to fix a leak and there's temporary traffic lights in place around our work area to ensure everyone's safety and manage traffic flow.
It's too early to say how long it will take to complete this work but updates will be provided here.
Friday 12 April - Plumstead High Street
We need to renew our gas network in Plumstead High Street.
Following discussion with Greenwich Council, we have installed three-way traffic lights at this location and implemented a closure of Woodhurst Road. One of the team will man the lights from 7am until 7pm to minimise disruption.
All being well, the work within the road closure should be completed and cleared by 26 April, at which time we will set up a smaller road closure in Camrose Street with some carriageway incursion in Plumstead High Street. The second phase should be completed in approximately three weeks.
Our team is working seven days a week to ensure any disruption to the local community is minimised.
