Smell gas: leave, then call. Do not look for the leak with a switch
If you smell piped gas, do not switch lights or fans. Move outside and call City Energy on 1800 752 1800. If there is fire or you cannot get out, call SCDF 995. Capping or reconnecting piped Town Gas is a Licensed Gas Service Worker. The hob page already prices that attendance at S$180 to S$320.

What this page is, and what it is not
City Energy’s own instruction is to shut the meter valve if you can do it safely, not to operate electrical switches, and to call 1800 752 1800 from a safe distance. Installation or alteration of gas pipes and appliances is City Energy or a Licensed Gas Service Worker. 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.
Homey does not send a handyman to “tighten the gas”. The published LGSW line on the hob and induction pages is S$180 to S$320 for capping or reconnecting piped Town Gas. An LPG cylinder hose is not that line. Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K) carries permit-exempt housekeeping, proofing and handyman work. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H) carries any scope that needs an HDB renovation permit. Homey Furnishing is not a MOM-licensed employment agency and does not publish an agency fee.
What to do first
- Do not turn electrical switches on or off. Do not light a match.
- If you can reach the meter valve without staying in the gas, shut it. Otherwise leave.
- Call City Energy 1800 752 1800 from outside. Call 995 if there is fire or a medical emergency.
- After the supply is safe, a Licensed Gas Service Worker does the repair. Book the S$180 to S$320 attendance only for the scope that page describes.

Smell gas: leave, then call. Do not look for the leak with a switch: access and preparation
Smell gas: leave, then call. Do not look for the leak with a switch 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.

- Have parts on site if you bought them

Protect the floor and confirm the part, if you bought it, actually fits.
Do that task. Do not start a second trade that needs another licence.
Test it. A hinge that still sags is not finished.

|---|---|---|---|
| HDB | Exempt repairs do not need a permit. Hacking does. | Use the condo column if it is not HDB. | Use the landed column if it is not HDB. |
| Condo | Book the lift and the hours before the van arrives. | MCST by-laws sit on top of the task list. | A landed house has no MCST lift. |
| Landed | Name the storey. A roof or a gate is not a flat task. | A condo is not landed. | External work waits for safe weather and a safe ladder. |
