we’ll ask you to help us keep our colleagues safe by following these extra steps:
- Asking everyone in the property to stay in a separate room from our engineer while they work – this should be a room without any gas appliances or the gas meter
- Opening all the windows in the room where our engineer will be working
Our engineers will wear protective equipment, including gloves and a mask, but please don’t be alarmed.
We’re committed to keeping our key workers safe, as well as the families we visit, as we
respond to gas emergencies.

the risk for our people and our customers, including providing colleagues with guidance on social
distancing as well as additional personal protective equipment. We’ve also split key business-critical
teams across multiple locations to make sure we protect the essential service they provide.

a PayPoint outlet. The credit is then subsequently transferred by inserting the prepayment card
into the gas meter. If you have a prepayment gas meter and you are unable to top up your
prepayment card due to a requirement to self-isolate, please find some helpful guidance below:
