Water Leaks
If you find that you have a water leak then you will need to turn off the water supply at the water stop tap. If you do not know where the water stop tap is then have a look in your Operating and Maintenance Manual (OMM) under the relevant section.
There is a label attached to your water stop tap saying “WATER STOP TAP”.
Gas Leaks
If you smell gas or think that there might be a gas leak, then you will need to turn the gas off at the gas stop tap. If you do not know where the gas stop tap is then have a look in your Operating and Maintenance Manual (OMM) under the relevant section.
There is a label attached to your gas stop tap saying “GAS STOP TAP”.
If you suspect a gas leak then please report this to the National Grid using the following emergency telephone number:
T: 0800 111 999

Additionally, if you suspect a gas leak then please follow the following guidelines:

- Open all doors and windows in the property
- If you smell gas coming from the basement, do not enter the basement and evacuate the property
