So including you how many girls did your mum have?

I'm very glad that it was isolated and hopefully now repaired. I've also had a gas leak at home and it is scary if you don't know what to do. Mine was only small which made it hard to detect. When it finally got inspected it was found to have been installed both incorrectly and more worryingly passed a gas safety certificate! Needless to say I got the whole system thoroughly inspected by a gas safe plumber who had been working for a long time. Defects were corrected and new certs issued.

If anyone is reading this please remember to get out and call the gas emergency number. Only if safe to do so isolate the gas supply at the meter and open windows so any gas can disperse.

Did you know that gas is actually odourless. The smell is added to it to help identify leakages!
You guys were lucky. When in the slightest doubt about leakage, always open windows and take out the cylinder to open space. 👍
