Who is the DNO for Lambeth ?
SGN distributes gas around the 77697 households of Lambeth. No, it doesn't appear by magic, which is a shame. Instead a relatively complex system of pipes connect all the gas in the UK, forming the gas distribution network. 8 separate networks form part of this system, which are then overseen by gas distribution companies, of which there are 4. These are the top dogs who you will probably never need to get in touch with, since any issue can likely be managed by your direct supplier. However, should you need to chat to one of their experts, you can ring them on 0345 835 1111.
For electricity, UK Power Networks is the company in charge.
When should you contact your DNO?
