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
Thursday 11 July - Bow Road, Wateringbury
We’re carrying out emergency upgrades to our gas network in Wateringbury.
This essential work follows on from emergency repairs carried out last month and has been planned in consultation with Kent County Council.
In order to carry out our works safely, we have closed Bow Road, at its junction with Tonbridge Road, in both directions. A signed diversion is in place for motorists via the A26 Tonbridge Road, Seven Mile Lane and Maidstone Road.
We have also closed Gibbs Hill at the junction with Maidstone Road, Nettlestead, and Pizien Well Road at the junction with A26 Tonbridge Road. These junctions are closed for safety reasons to prevent the use of unsuitable narrow country roads as a diversion route.
All going well, we aim to complete our work, reinstate the road surface and reopen all the roads as normal at the end of the day on Monday 15 July.
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.
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.
Friday 26 July - A919, Guardbridge
We're dealing with a high volume gas escape on the A919 at Guardbridge in Fife.
A road closure and diversion will be in place while we work on this emergency.
This is a busy route for motorists, so please leave extra time for your journey.
Friday 26 July - Terminus Street, Blairgowrie
Our engineers have now made safe the gas leak in Terminus Street, Blairgowrie, where a third party damaged our gas main on Wednesday.
Our priority now is to complete repairs to the damaged section of main. To allow us to complete this work safely, Back Brae, Terminus Street, and Tannage Street remain closed.
We have however reopened Commercial Street, Welton Road and A923 this morning. The nearby Tesco Superstore and petrol station have also been allowed to reopen. Tesco is operating under delivery restrictions until our work is complete. Please check directly with these local businesses for opening times.
The remaining road closures will remain in place at least into next week to allow us to complete repairs and restore the road surface. This is a lengthy process due to the number and depth of the excavations that must be reinstated to the required specifications.
We’ll continue to update you here.
Tuesday 23 July - Morton Road/Yarbridge junction, Brading, Sandown
From 6am on Tuesday 23 July, we'll need to temporarily close the four-way crossroad junction at Morton Road, New Road, Marshcombe Shute and Yarbridge to carry out urgent repairs to a section of the low pressure gas main.
Due to the location of the leak in the centre of the junction, we have no other safe option than to temporarily close the crossroad junction while repairs are carried out.
This leak is on a different gas pipe to the medium pressure pipe we previously replaced.
Bus route affected – please contact your bus provider for the latest update on changes to bus routes, timetables and alternative routes.
It's too early to say how long the repairs will take to complete but we’ll be doing all we can to complete the repairs as quickly and as safely as possible.
Wednesday 17 July - B2052 Millmead Road, Margate
Our engineers are carrying out emergency repairs to our gas network in the B2052.
Until now, this work has taken place under three-way temporary traffic lights, however, after investigation our specialist team has decided to replace the damaged section of our gas network and a road closure is required between the junctions of Laleham Road and Hengist Avenue.
We anticipate that our upgrade work will be completed by 30 July.
Friday 12 July - A25 Reigate Road
We're carrying out urgent gas network repairs along the A25 near to its junction with Pixham Lane.
To ensure everyone's safety, we've needed to install temporary three-way lights around our work area. These lights are being manually operated between 7am and 7pm to manage traffic flow in the area.
We're aware of nearby resurfacing work on the A24 and the weekend closure of the M25 that could impact travel times in the area over the weekend. Please allow additional time for your journeys.
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.
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.
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.
