Professional Gas Fire Servicing

Gas fires need routine inspection and maintenance, even when they appear to be working normally. Dust, debris, worn components, ventilation problems and chimney or flue issues can affect safety and performance.

A professional gas fire service may include checks of the appliance condition, controls, ignition, burner, flame picture, ventilation and flue performance, as appropriate to the type of fire and installation. The engineer can also look for signs of wear, damage, incomplete combustion or unsafe operation.

Regular servicing can help to:
● Maintain safe and dependable operation
● Identify faults before they become more serious
● Improve appliance reliability and performance
● Reduce the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns
● Confirm that ventilation and flue arrangements are working correctly
● Give you greater peace of mind

If a fault is found, we will explain the issue clearly and advise whether a repair, replacement part or further remedial work is required.

Gas Fire Repairs and Fault-Finding

Gas fire problems should always be investigated by a suitably qualified professional. Our engineers have extensive experience diagnosing and repairing a wide range of gas fire faults.

Contact us if you notice:
● A gas fire that will not ignite or stay lit
● An unreliable pilot light or ignition system
● An unusual flame colour or flame pattern
● Soot, staining or discolouration around the appliance
● Unusual smells or noises
● Reduced heat output
● Damaged or worn controls and components
● A carbon monoxide alarm activating

If you smell gas or suspect an immediate gas or carbon monoxide emergency, turn off the appliance if it is safe to do so, ventilate the property, leave the area and contact the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999. Do not use electrical switches or naked flames.

Gas Fire Installation and Replacement

With over 25 years of installation experience, we can also advise on suitable gas fire installations and replacements. The correct appliance must be appropriate for the room, fireplace opening, ventilation and chimney or flue arrangement.

We assess the installation area and explain the options available before work begins. Our aim is to provide a neat, safe and dependable installation that suits both the property and the household’s heating requirements.

Chimney Sweeping, Repairs and Safety Checks

A gas fire and its chimney or flue work together as a complete system. A blockage, damaged chimney or poor flue performance may prevent combustion gases from escaping safely.

Alongside gas fire servicing and repairs, we provide:
● Chimney sweeping
● Chimney inspections and safety checks
● Chimney fault diagnosis
● Chimney and flue repairs
● Checks for obstructions, damage and signs of poor performance

Arranging gas fire maintenance and chimney care together can provide a more complete assessment of the installation. This is particularly important for older properties, fires that have not been used for some time and homes where the history of the chimney is unknown.

Gas Hob and Boiler Safety Checks

We can also carry out safety checks on domestic gas hobs and boilers. These checks help identify visible damage, unsafe operation or other concerns that may need attention.

If your gas fire, hob or boiler is due for inspection, ask us about checking multiple gas appliances during the same visit. Where additional servicing or repair work is needed, we will explain our findings and provide practical advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a gas fire be serviced?
Gas fires are commonly serviced annually, although the manufacturer’s instructions and the condition and use of the appliance should also be considered. A qualified Gas Safe registered engineer can advise on the appropriate schedule for your fire.

Can you repair a gas fire that will not stay lit?
Yes. A fire that will not stay lit can have several possible causes. An engineer should inspect and test the appliance before recommending a repair. Do not repeatedly try to use a gas fire that is behaving unusually.

Do you sweep chimneys used with gas fires?
Yes. We carry out chimney sweeping, inspections, safety checks and repairs. The required work will depend on the appliance and chimney or flue arrangement.

Can you check my gas hob and boiler during the same visit?
In many cases, yes. Let us know which appliances you would like checked when booking so that we can allow suitable time and confirm the work required.

Do you cover my area?
We serve Greater London and areas across the Home Counties. Send us your postcode and we will confirm appointment availability for your location.
