I'll go first... so tonight I went in our front room which is one of the last rooms we are yet to renovate and could smell gas. Found this very odd as the room isn't used but the gas meter is outside the window so was concerned. Rang the emergency number and Cadent came out. He found a leak under the floorboards, an old pipe just wear and tear which was small and could have been leaking for months - we don't go in that room often it's become our dumping ground whilst we save to start doing it up, it was pure chance I went to put something in there and could smell the gas.
Anyway, the very nice gas man has fixed the pipe after him & DH pulled up the floorboards to find it. In his words 'if it wasn't Christmas Eve I wouldn't have done this' I suspect they normally just condemn or shut off the pipe when it's a normal day (?).
I felt sick with nerves whilst he was here as I was just expecting him to come and tell us there was nothing. We're also hosting 8 people tomorrow so was racking my brains of what to do (!). Anyway it's all sorted now but at 9pm on Christmas Eve with a gas leak was not how I wanted to spend it!
