DETECTING THE LEAK
Using specialised equipment we identify the source and severity of the leak.

When the area is secured, we fix the problem; this might include part replacement, appliance fixes, fitting, pipeline repairs, etc. After the repairing process is complete, we test your systems thoroughly to ensure your systems are safe and leak-free.
How do you know if you have a gas leakage?
Gas leaks in your home can be a silent threat, often unnoticed until it’s too late. Don’t ignore these key signs – your safety could be at risk:
- Distinct sulfur-like odour: For easy detection, gas companies add a strong sulfur or rotten egg smell to natural gas. So, in case of a leak, you should smell it.
- Hearing unusual hissing sounds: Listen for unusual hissing or whistling sounds near gas lines or appliances.
- Noticeable air movement: Feel for drafts or air movement in areas with gas lines.
- Your house plants are dying: Indoor plants wilting or dying unexpectedly can be a subtle sign of a gas leak.
- Feeling any physical: Be aware of symptoms like dizziness, headaches, or nausea, as these can be caused by gas exposure.
- Visual signs: Check for visible signs like soot or dusty air movement around appliances and pipes.
- A spike in your gas bill: An unexplained increase in your gas bill might indicate a hidden gas leak.
If you are experiencing any of the above, do not hesitate! Contact us and rectify critical issues today!

Testimonials
Don’t just blindly take our word. See what our satisfied customers have to say.
Alex from Lawson Heating has connected our gas hob and serviced our boiler several times over the last few years, we have been very happy with the work. He is a very considerate trades person and has excellent communication. I would highly recommend.
Alex has done a couple of jobs for me over the years. Firstly, he installed a new boiler and set up my Nest system. Most recently he fixed a technical issue with my Google Nest thermostat. Alex is friendly, reliable and always makes sure he does a complete and professional job to the absolute highest standard. Alex may not be the cheapest but his prices are reasonable and you definitely get your money's worth. I couldn't recommend him more highly!
Came to service my boiler, repair a tap and a radiator just after lockdown. Was prompt, clean and tidy no mess and wore a mask and socially distanced. Explained the issues and fix them all. Provided all the necessary documentation and received the invoice the very same day. Cost was very reasonable. Great service would definitely recommend Alex and his company.
Alex is brilliant - always keeps up to date with our routine boiler servicing and is super responsive anytime we’ve had an issue in between. He’s also a lovely guy. Definitely have no hesitation in recommending Lawson Heating to friends and family!

Gas Leak FAQs
Immediately switch off the gas supply to the house, evacuate the area, avoid using electrical devices or open flames, and immediately call a professional gas leak detection service.
Detection time can vary, but once the leak is located, our engineer will provide an estimated time for repair. We aim for prompt and efficient service.
Gas leaks in homes often manifest in physical symptoms caused by decreased oxygen levels. These signs include feeling lightheaded, persistent headaches, eye and throat irritation, nausea, and experiencing nosebleeds. Additionally, individuals might notice a persistent ringing in their ears and difficulty breathing. Pets, too, are susceptible to these effects, showing symptoms like watery eyes, reduced appetite, disorientation, behavioural changes, and, in severe cases, loss of consciousness. Please be aware, and if any of these signs occur, contact an expert immediately.
Be alert for subtle gas leak indicators: unusual hissing sounds near gas lines, a persistent sulfur odour (resembling rotten eggs), and changes in burner flame colour to anything but blue. Visible pipe damage, increased window condensation, and unexpected plant wilting warrant immediate attention. These signs and unusually high gas bills suggest a gas leak, necessitating prompt expert intervention.
