Your contact details
The quickest and easiest way to access the maps of our network is to create an account with LineSearchbeforeUDig.
They show the location of our pipes and other utilities, and will email you a copy of plans (typically within the hour) if your area of interest is close to our pipes.
Part of our role involves making sure all our pipes comply with UK safety law.
As instructed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), and recommended by the Gas Safe Register, building over or close to gas pipes should be avoided any work on your home or business.
We can help you to understand where your gas service pipe is located. It is important that you have the right information before you begin any building work to make sure you continue to receive a safe and reliable gas supply.
