Important Notice – Wales & West Utilities Now Live

We are delighted to welcome Wales & West Utilities as our latest Member from 3rd Dec 2018.

Wales & West Utilities look after the pipes that keep the gas flowing to heat homes and power businesses across Wales and the south west of England. Their team of 1500 skilled engineers respond to gas emergencies, connect new homes and businesses and invest £2m a week, upgrading old metal gas pipes to new plastic ones.

Beverley Robinson, Connections Manager at Wales & West Utilities said: “We’re looking forward to working with LSBUD. Damaging gas pipes can be catastrophic - it might cause serious injury to you and others around you, as well as leaving you liable for the costs of repair, fines and fees which can be huge. “We work hard to look after our pipelines and keep the gas flowing, this will enhance the support we can provide groundworks and civils contractors, helping them and others easily access our plans at the same time as they search for other services in the area.”
