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.
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.
We have a number of helpful frequently asked questions at the bottom of this page, under the Help and advice heading.

Emergency gas pipe repairs
When we need to carry out emergency repairs to our gas network, we'll add full details here.
Update: Friday 21 August 2026, 3pm
The A418 reopened on Wednesday (19 August) night after engineers completed emergency repairs.
Temporary two-way traffic lights are now required because we are preparing to replace a section of our gas main at this location.
We apologise for the ongoing inconvenience as we finalise plans for these works. We will share further updates, including expected timescales, when possible.
We’re currently working to repair a gas leak in the Lady Grove Road area of Didcot.
To keep local people and our engineers safe while we do this, we have closed Lady Grove between its junctions with Burton Agnes Avenue and Sires Hill. A diversion route is in place and is clearly signposted.
We’re working as quickly and as safely as we can to fix this leak; however, we are not yet sure how long this will take. We’re sorry for any disruption caused, and we appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while we complete this essential work
01 September 2026
We’re carrying out emergency repairs in the Broomhouse Street South area of Edinburgh.
To do this safely, we will need to close Broomhouse Street South at its junction with Broomhouse Road tomorrow (2 Sept). A diversion route will be clearly signposted.
At this stage we’re not yet able to say how long our work will take – we’ll be working as safely and as quickly as possible to make a repair and reopen the road.
We appreciate people’s patience and understanding while we carry out this essential repair. We will provide further updates here as soon as we’re able.
Update: Wednesday 2 September, 3.10pm
We’re continuing emergency gas network repairs on Cramond Road South, between the Silverknowes and Davidson's Mains areas of Edinburgh.
Unfortunately, we temporarily closed Cramond Road South on Tuesday 2 September at the exit for Tesco, just north of the roundabout where Cramond Road South meets Main Street and Quality Street.
We had hoped to continue our work using temporary traffic lights, but to protect the safety of road users around our works we needed to close the road.
We understand that this is a busy and sensitive route and apologise for any disruption caused.
A signed diversion is in place for northbound motorists via Main Street, Ferry Road, Pennywell Road, Muirhouse Parkway, Silverknowes Parkway, Lauriston Farm Road and back on to Cramond Road South. This diversion is reversed for southbound motorists.
All businesses in the area remain open as normal. Bus passengers are advised to check directly with their service provider for the latest travel information.
During excavation works, we identified a complication involving another utility's apparatus located close to our gas main. This has made the repair more complex than initially anticipated.
We are now working with a specialist contractor to assess the situation and determine the safest and most effective repair solution. Once this has been completed, we will be able to provide more certainty on timescales.
We appreciate the patience and understanding of local residents, businesses and road users while these essential repairs are carried out.
At this stage, it remains too early to confirm when the road can reopen. We will continue to provide updates as soon as more information becomes available.
Update: Saturday 29 August, 12.39pm
Unfortunately, we have temporarily closed Oxford Road in Bagley Wood, Kennington, to undertake emergency repair works. The road is closed at its junction with Bagley Wood Road.
We’re aware this is a busy route and are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. The closure is necessary to ensure everyone’s safety while these essential works are carried out.
A signed diversion is in place via the A34. Local diversions are also in place via Sugworth Lane and Kennington Road.
Our engineers expect to complete a temporary repair to the gas main today. Due to the condition of the pipe, a section of the gas main will then need to be replaced.
These urgent replacement works are expected to continue into next week, and we will provide a further update on reopening Oxford Road once we have confirmed the timescales. We would like to thank the local community for its continued patience and support.
Update: 6 July 2026, 2pm
Our engineers have been on site since Monday 29 June investigating reports of gas escapes near the junction with the High Street. Investigations have identified that around 185 metres of metallic gas main - installed approximately 70 years ago - is in poor condition and needs to be replaced immediately.
To make sure the network continues to supply the gas demand required locally, we’ll be installing a new, larger‑diameter plastic main. This means we’ll need to open‑cut a trench in stages along Fletching Street. We’ll also upgrade any old metallic service pipes supplying nearby properties. We’ll be replacing our pipes from the junction with the High Street to the junction with The Avenue.
For the safety of our engineers and the public, Fletching Street will be closed around our excavations from Monday 6 July. We expect this work to take around four to five weeks.
Signed diversion routes will be in place for affected drivers. Pedestrian access will be maintained.
We’ll continue to provide updates here as the work progresses.
Updated: Thursday 6 August 2026, 6pm
We’re currently investigating reports of a gas leak in Unity Terrace.
For everyone’s safety around our work area, we’ve temporarily closed Unity Terrace at its junction with Crieff Road.
It’s too soon to say how long our work will take, and we’ll provide updates here.
Update Friday 04 September 15:00
Unfortunately, we have found a further leak along the A4074 and have had to close the Road at Mapledurham to undertake the emergency repairs.
We’re aware this is a busy route and are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. The closure is needed to keep the public and our engineers safe while we carry out the essential works.
A signed diversion is in place for all road users, and we would kindly encourage people to plan ahead and leave additional time to travel.
Access to the event at The Caversham Golf Course will be maintained from the Reading side, heading North, but there will be no access from Reading Road heading south. Again, a diversion route will be clearly signposted.
Our engineers are working around the clock, as quickly as possible to make a repair, but we do not yet know how long this work will take. We’re sorry for the inconvenience this road closure will cause, but it is essential that we fix the issue to keep the gas flowing safely and reliably.
Update: Friday 28 August, 12.50pm
Following good progress with our emergency repair work, we can confirm that the A4074 at Mapledurham will reopen as planned at 4pm today.
Once the road reopens, two-way temporary traffic lights will be in place to allow us to safely complete the repair. To help minimise disruption, the lights will be manually controlled during peak travel periods.
At this stage, it's too early to say how long the temporary traffic lights will remain in place, but we'll continue to monitor progress and provide updates here.
The work may still affect people travelling to Reading Festival campsites. You can find the latest travel advice on the Traffic Updates section on the Reading Festival app or on the Travel Information section of their website.
We apologise for the disruption and thank everyone for their continued understanding as we complete these essential repairs.
Emergency Lane Closure - Gas leak
Our engineers are currently working to investigate and repair a gas leak in the Coles Avenue area of Poole.
To do this safely, we have a westbound directional lane closure in place on Coles Avenue from the junction of Blandford Road to the junction of Hamilton Road.
This closure will mean:
- No through vehicle access heading westbound along Coles Avenue between the junction of Blandford Road to Hamilton Road – a diversion route via Lakes Road will be in place
- The pedestrian walkway alongside the closure will be closed – pedestrians will be diverted on the other side of the road
- Vehicle access to properties located within the closure will be maintained – access will be via eastbound lane and diversion route
- Bus routes will be affected – please contact your service provider for the latest update/changes to service.
Our engineers are working as quickly and as safely as possible to complete these repairs. It’s too early to say how long repairs will take to complete – we will keep this webpage updated
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Updated Thursday 23 July
We're carrying out emergency gas network repairs on the B3091 near the village of West Orchard following a gas leak.
We know this closure will be frustrating for people who live, work or travel through the area, but to keep everyone safe while we repair the leak, the B3091 has been closed in both directions. The location of the closure is shown on the map below and is indicated by the red line.
A signed diversion route is in place via B3091, Manston Road, Rixton Hill, B3092 Bath Road, Walton Elm Hill, Schoolhouse Lane, Crown Road, Salisbury Street, Scotchey Hill, A30 Front Street, A30 Fern Hill, Sherbourne Causeway, Long Cross, Bleke Street, Bimport and St John's Hill.
We’re maintaining vehicle access to all the properties within the closure from the appropriate end of the road.
Bus services will also be affected, so please contact your bus operator for the latest service updates.
At this stage it's too early to confirm when our work will be complete, but we expect the repairs to continue into next week. We'll provide further updates as soon as we're able. Gas supplies to nearby homes and businesses are not affected.
Thank you for bearing with us while we carry out these essential repairs. Our engineers are working as quickly and safely as possible to reopen the road, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
Updated - Thursday 13 August
A229 Maidstone Road was safe to reopen to motorists yesterday evening.
This follows the completion of the resurfacing process after our emergency repairs carried out in the area.
We'd like to thank the local community for your patience while we completed these essential network repairs and restored the road surface.
Updated - 11.45pm, Saturday 15 August
We've completed urgent gas network repairs in Verwood Road after a gas leak was identified earlier today.
Verwood Road remains closed to motorists in both directions, between Ringwood Road and Joys Road, while we restore the road surface. All being well, the road will reopen on Sunday morning.
Update – 6.47pm, Friday 7 August
Following the vehicle collision involving our gas governor in Station Road, Tidworth, we now know 159 properties nearby remain without gas.
Our engineers have repaired the gas leak caused by the damage and are now focused on restoring supplies to affected homes. To safely reintroduce gas to this section of our network, we need to visit all properties and turn off the supply at the meter. We’ve turned off 140 supplies so far and aim to visit the remaining homes this evening.
We have hotplates that can be used for cooking meals. These are available from our mobile unit stationed at Tesco on Station Road. Here our dedicated customer team is also on hand to answer any questions you may have.
We assisted Wiltshire Police to safely remove the vehicle from our damaged gas governor. We’ve assessed the full extent of the damage and need to construct and install a replacement governor nearby. This work is expected to take a few days to complete. Once installed, our engineers will then revisit homes to restore their gas supplies.
The police have now removed the exclusion zones and Station Road is reopen to motorists.
We recognise this has been a difficult time for those evacuated and are grateful for the patience and understanding shown from the Tidworth community. We’re doing everything we can to restore gas supplies as soon as possible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated - 11.30am, Friday 7 August
We're working to repair a gas governor at the junction of Station Road and Perham Down Road after a vehicle collided with our network infrastructure overnight.
As a precaution, premises around the site of the incident were evacuated by the emergency services.
Our engineers are assessing the damage and carrying out safety checks in the area. It’s too early to say when affected residents may be able to safely return to their properties or when businesses within the exclusion zone can reopen.
Due to the damage to our network infrastructure, gas supplies to around 190 nearby properties have been lost. We need to visit affected properties to switch off supplies at the meter, enabling us to safely repair this section of our network, before revisiting these homes to restore gas.
We’ll continue to update this page with further information. Thank you for your patience while we carry out these essential repairs to our gas network.
We’re carrying out emergency gas network repairs following a gas escape in the Whitehouse Loan area of Edinburgh. We have had to close the road to through traffic from its junction with Bruntsfield Place, Southbound for a distance of 130m with immediate effect.
A diversion route are now in place via Bruntsfield Place, Chamberlain Road, Greenhill Gardens, Strathearn Place, Strathearn Road, Marchmont Road, Warrender Park Road & Whitehouse Loan Bruntsfield Place, Gillespie Place, Leven Street, Home Street, Brougham Street, Brougham Place, Melville Drive, Marchmont Road, Warrender Park Road & Whitehouse Loan.
We know this closure will be frustrating for people who work or travel through the area, but it is essential to keep everyone safe while we carry out our work.
At this stage it's too early to confirm when our work will be complete, but we expect the repairs to continue into next week. We'll provide further updates as soon as we're able.
Thank you for bearing with us while we carry out these essential repairs. Our engineers are working as quickly and safely as possible to reopen the road, and we appreciate your patience and understanding.
You can find more details about all our other emergency repairs at roadworks.org.
Planned work
Sometimes when we're carrying out our repairs, we find that we need to replace parts of our network instead. When this happens, we'll add full details here.
From Friday 3 July for a duration of four weeks, SGN engineers will be carrying out urgent work to replace a section of gas main on Shanklin Road from the junction of the roundabout at Canteen Road to where Shanklin Road meets Victoria Avenue.
These works have been planned with urgency due to a current gas escape – we are no longer able to complete long-term repairs, and replacement is the only permanent solution to avoid further gas escapes.
Due to the location of the gas pipe in the road and for everyone’s safety, a temporary road closure between these junctions will be required.
This road closure will mean:
- No through vehicle access past the closure in either direction – signed diversion routes will be in place
- Vehicle access to properties within the closure will be maintained and the site team will liaise with properties affected to keep them informed of access arrangements
- Pedestrian and cycle access will be maintained through the closure
- Bin collection days will remain unaffected unless you are advised otherwise by your service provider
Bus routes will be affected – we advise passengers to contact their service provider for the latest updates/changes to services.
We appreciate this temporary road closure may be disruptive for residents, and we assure you our engineers will be working as quickly and as safely as possible to complete these works.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience our work may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding.
Update - 04.09.26
We're pleased to say that we have completed our work ahead of schedule. We are now filling in the holes that we have dug and laying a new road surface. We will need to give the new surface time to set and expect to remove the temporary traffic lights tomorrow morning.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SGN will carry out planned works at 44 and 46 Main Street, Davidsons Mains, beginning on Monday 31 August.
The works are expected to take approximately 10 days. Two-way temporary traffic lights and a pedestrian crossing will be in place to help keep the public and our teams safe while the work is carried out. The traffic lights will be manually controlled at peak times to help ease congestion.
The work will provide new gas supplies to two local businesses. Following close consultation with the local authority, we have agreed to carry out both sets of work at the same time to minimise disruption to local residents and businesses.
We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused and encourage anyone travelling through the area to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journey.
Updated - Friday 28 August
Maynards Green Road was opened earlier today as we continue to upgrade the gas network.
Prior to this week's closure, temporary traffic lights had been in operation to maintain everyone's safety while we complete these essential works, but after further investigation we need additional excavations are required on the opposite side of the road to safely reconnect a property's gas supply.
Thank you to the Horam community for your patience and understanding.
