Roadworks in your area

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 21 November - Horsham Road, Bramley, Guildford

We need to carry out investigation work on a pipe at the roundabout in Horsham Road next to the Asda Express petrol station. To carry out this work we will need to temporarily close this section of the road on Thursday 21 November at 8pm. We are hoping that this work will be completed overnight.

We understand that a road closure causes inconvenience within the local community and will only use traffic management when necessary to keep everyone safe.

Thank you for your patience.

 

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.

 

Wednesday 20 November - A259 South Coast Road, Peacehaven

We've been working to repair our gas main on the A259 South Coast Road. For everyone's safety, we've temporarily closed the junction with Sutton Avenue and installed temporary two-way traffic lights around our work area.

We've repaired part of the main but need to investigate further gas readings and make more repairs.

Our team will be on site this evening to complete repairs. All being well, if no further readings are found then we can start reinstating the road.

We're sorry for any inconvenience caused and we will reopen the road and remove the temporary traffic lights as soon as it is safe to do so.

 

Friday 15 November - Shoreham Lane, Halstead

We're continuing to carry out urgent work in Shoreham Lane.

Our investigations this week found multiple leaks along this section of our gas network, and due to the pipe being in poor condition, we have decided to immediately replace it rather than carry out a repair. This will help minimise future disruption in the area and a safe and reliable gas supply is delivered to local properties for many years to come.

For everyone's safety, Shoreham Lane remains closed at its junction with A224 London Road. A signed diversion route will be in place for affected motorists.

We expect to complete this work by Friday 6 December. We apologise for any inconvenience this essential work might cause.

 

Friday 15 November – A217 Garratt Lane, Wandsworth

Further information and regular updates about this work can be found here.

Our engineers continue to carry out urgent work to replace a section of our gas network in the A217 Garratt Lane area. This essential work to replace our old, affected pipes will prevent further leaks on this section and minimise future disruption to the Wandsworth community.

This week, we decommissioned the large diameter gas main along A217 Garratt Lane, between its junctions with Earlsfield Road and Magdalen Road. We began installing the replacement plastic pipe, and expect to have this complete next week. Our excavations in Penwith Road also started and we will be conducting a mapping survey of the gas main’s features here.

To ensure everyone’s safety and enable us to access our underground pipes, Penwith Road and Magdalen Road remain closed at their respective junctions with Garratt Lane. The temporary traffic lights at the junction of Earlsfield Road and Garratt Lane remain in operation. Signed diversion routes are in place for affected motorists, but access will be maintained for residents and businesses throughout.

The work to install the new gas pipe in the footway of Garratt Lane between properties 491 and 509 will continue next week. And, we will also be connecting the new plastic pipe to the adjoining side roads at the Magdalen Road junction.

Meanwhile, in Penwith Road, our engineers will be carrying out the initial operation to enable decommissioning of the first section of our gas main and replaced with our new plastic pipe.

To help ease traffic congestion on this sensitive route, we will be carrying out some reinstatement to reduce the size of our work area at Garratt Lane’s junction with Magdalen Road from Monday 25 November.

We will also need to close Earlsfield Road at its junction with Garratt Lane on Monday 25 November, to enable us to safely excavate and survey our network to prepare for replacing our pipes in this location. A signed diversion route will be in place for affected road users.

We're arranging a drop-in session for residents and business owners to discuss our current and future essential work in the area with our team. Details of this event will be published as soon as we can.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience this work is causing residents, businesses and road users alike. We’re liaising closely with Wandsworth Council and TfL on this essential work and regularly reviewing progress to ensure disruption from this work is reduced as much as possible.

 

Tuesday 5 November - Glasgow Road, Perth (PH2)

We’re making good progress with emergency repairs in Glasgow Road, Perth.

This has allowed us to reopen Glasgow Road both ways outside Aldi Food Store, between Whitefriars Crescent and Elibank Street.

However, a one-lane restriction is now in place at this location to allow repairs to be fully completed. It’s too early to say at this stage how long this will take.

We’d like to thank the Perth community for your ongoing patience and support.

 

Tuesday 22 October – Gilmerton Road, Edinburgh, EH17 7PX

We’re carrying out emergency repairs to our gas network in Gilmerton Road, Edinburgh, outside the Robin’s Nest Bar and Grill.

For everyone’s safety, we need to install three-way temporary traffic lights at this location from 1pm today. The lights will be manually controlled from 7am to 7pm, Monday to Saturday. All businesses will be open as normal during our work.

All going well, we hope to complete repairs within approximately two to three weeks.

 

Friday 11 October - Godstone Road, Whyteleaf

We're continuing to carry out urgent repairs to our gas network in Godstone Road following the recent discovery of a leak. Our engineers are working to remediate the leak and repair the affected pipe.

For everyone's safety, temporary traffic lights are in operation around our work area. These lights are being manually operated during peak hours to manage traffic flow.

We expect to complete our work and reinstate around the site within the next three weeks.

Thanks for your ongoing patience and understanding while we carry out this essential work to ensure local properties continue to receive a safe and reliable gas supply.
 

Wednesday 25 September - Charing Cross, Glasgow

Our emergency work to repair a gas escape at the junction of North Street and Sauchiehall Street is ongoing in conjunction with Glasgow City Council.

There has been a change to how the pedestrian crossing at this location operates for the next week. Access has been changed so that pedestrians have to go around the island. Diversion signs are in place and we are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Help and advice

It could be emergency work to keep you, and our network, safe. As this type of work is urgent and unplanned, we sometimes start work before it appears on the map. 

Search for your road in our local gas works map to find out more about our work. You’ll need to change the date in the search bar so you can see our future work. Click on the gas flame icon that appears on your road to see details of what we’ll be doing in your road and when.

The dates shown on the map are taken from the works permit we are granted which doesn’t always match the duration of the works required.

For example, the permit may be for one week but the work will only take 3 days to complete. This allows for flexibility and unforeseen circumstances.

There are many reasons why roadwork dates may be change and sometimes these are things that are outside of our control.

We appreciate it is frustrating when this happens and we will do what we can to minimise impact on you.

Our barriers must stay in place until it’s completely safe for us to remove them. Sometimes we’ll have barriers up, but our engineers won’t be there. This could be because we’re working on another section of the project, or we could have finished work and we’re waiting for the new road surface to set.
