You smell gas

Switches, the meter, and who may repair it

City Energy tells households not to operate electrical switches if gas is suspected, to shut the meter valve only if it is safe, and to call 1800 752 1800 from a safe distance. Ventilation matters. A search with a lighter does not.

After the emergency crew has made it safe, piped Town Gas work is a Licensed Gas Service Worker. Our hob pages price that attendance at S$180 to S$320. A handyman does not open the gas pipe. LPG cylinder fires and leaks are an SCDF matter, not that Town Gas band.

Life-threatening fire, a gas fire, or someone who cannot breathe: SCDF 995. A suspected piped-gas leak, from a safe distance: City Energy 1800 752 1800. An electricity supply interruption that is the building, not one tripped RCCB: SP Group 1800 778 8888. Water supply, quality or pressure from the mains: PUB 1800 225 5782.

Checklist

  1. No switches, no flames, no fans.
  2. Leave the unit. Call 1800 752 1800 from outside.
  3. Call 995 if there is fire or a medical emergency.
  4. Book an LGSW only after the supply is safe, for the scope priced at S$180 to S$320.

Use these published bands

The only Homey-published figure in this emergency is the LGSW attendance already on the hob pages: S$180 to S$320. The hotlines are free public numbers, not a call-out fee.

You smell gas: access and preparation

You smell gas is a permit-exempt visit unless the photos show hacking, a new layout, a window replacement, or the household shelter. The hourly and call-out figures, if this page publishes them, are the ones to use. There is no separate fuel surcharge in the handyman rates this site states.

The number of tasks, whether parts are on site, and access decide the time. An HDB service yard, a condo loading bay and a landed roof are not the same approach. Sunday noisy work is refused when the Town Council or MCST forbids it.

  • One photo per task
  • Say which task is urgent
  • Have parts on site if you bought them
  • Clear a path
  • Say HDB, condo or landed

What You smell gas includes

You smell gas is a permit-exempt visit unless the photos show hacking, a new layout, a window replacement, or the household shelter. The hourly and call-out figures, if this page publishes them, are the ones to use. There is no separate fuel surcharge in the handyman rates this site states.

One task on one visit is a different booking from a list of five rooms. Send one photo per task and say which must be done first. A plumber, an electrician or a renovation permit is named when the task leaves handyman scope, rather than being folded into the hour.

Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, carries permit-exempt work. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), listed on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, carries any scope that needs an HDB renovation permit.

Plan You smell gas

  1. List the tasks and put the one that blocks the home first.

  2. Protect the floor and confirm the part, if you bought it, actually fits.

  3. Do that task. Do not start a second trade that needs another licence.

  4. Test it. A hinge that still sags is not finished.
