The Manchester and Leeds British Gas call centres are general call centres; in that they deal with all general enquiries. The call centres in Edinburgh and Cardiff are more focused on billing and account enquiries.

Who you are connected to actually depends on which options you select on your phone, when prompted to do so. Which call centre you are connected to also depends on how busy other call centres are.

Your call to British Gas will be queued, and passed onto the nearest available operator, in any of British Gas’s call centres. Or, if you can get through to a British Gas switchboard, you can request to be put through to a specific call centre if you like.
