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
Monday 28 October – B3327 St John Road, Wroxall
We're currently working on a gas escape located outside the Donkey Sanctuary on St Johns Road in Wroxall. Due to the location of the gas main in the road, we need to temporarily close St Johns Road from the junction of Whiteley Bank Roundabout to past the Donkey Sanctuary.
The road will close on Monday 28 October from 9.30am and will mean no through vehicle access in either direction past the point of the closure. A signed diversion will be in place. Pedestrian/cycle access will be maintained.
Vehicle access to the Donkey Sanctuary – there will be no vehicle access from the Whiteley Bank Roundabout (northern) end of the closure, with access via the diversion route from the south of the closure.
Vehicle access to properties between Whiteley Bank Roundabout and the Donkey Sanctuary will be maintained via the roundabout. All other access to St Johns Road will be from the south.
It's too early to say how long the repair will take and we’ll provide updates here as soon as we know more.
Monday 30 September - Airlie Street, Alyth
We're carrying out essential repairs to our gas network in Airlie Street, Alyth.
For everyone's safety around our work area, we'll need to temporarily close the road between its junctions with Market Square and St Ninian's Road.

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 28 October - Glasgow Road, Perth (PH2)
We’re carrying out emergency repairs to our gas network in Glasgow Road, Perth (PH2).
We’ve so far been able to work under a lane restriction however, to allow us to complete repairs safely, we have no option other than to temporarily close Glasgow Road outside Aldi Food Store between Whitefriars Crescent & Elibank Street.
Following close consultation with Perth and Kinross Council, Glasgow Road will be closed from 11pm tonight [Monday 28 October] for approximately one week. A significant signed diversion will be in place for motorists, so please be vigilant whilst approaching the closure and leave extra time for your journey.
We apologise for any inconvenience this will cause to commuters and the local community. Please be assured we are doing everything we can to make sure our work is completed as quickly and safely as possible.
Monday 28 October - A217 Garratt Lane, Wandsworth
We’re currently carrying out urgent gas network repairs along Garratt Lane from the junction with Summerley Street to the junction with Algarve Road.

Wednesday 23 October - A28 Ashford Road, Chilham
We're carrying out urgent repairs to our gas main in the A28 Ashford Road in Chilham.
Our work is next to a steep wet bank which has made the ground unstable. To work safely, we've had to install a special trench support and had to temporarily close the road around our work area for everyone's safety. A signed diversion is in place.
We may also need to arrange for a gas pressure reduction before we can begin our repairs, which will require a special repair fitting to be made, transported to site and installed. This means there may be times when there will be no engineers visible on site - regular monitoring of gas levels will be taking place.
Bus services may be affected - please check with your local provider.
We estimate the road will need to remain temporarily closed until at least Friday 1 November.
