We had a smell of gas coming from my little boys nursery last night. We switched off the gas supply and turned off the boiler. Following a call out from the national gas helpline they confirmed there was a leak in the house but not where it was coming from. The engineer cited that it was probably down to a botched DIY job by a previous owner somewhere in the house.
My question is, would it be safe for us to find the leak. Fairy liquid and water trick? We have no intention of fixing the leak ourselves and will happily leave it to a registered engineer, but cost saving wise if we could find the leak before calling someone out it would be better.
I don't think our home and contents insurance will cover this and I imagine it's not going to be cheap! Also, if anyone has an idea of cost for this type of work that would be great.
Many Thanks,
