Gas Fires London

At Fires of London Ltd, we supply, install, service and maintain gas fires in London and the surrounding areas. As a Gas Safe and HETAS registered company, we are fully qualified to install and sign off gas fire installations of all types.

We specialise in made-to-measure Nu Flame gas fires, designed to suit existing baskets, grates and fireplaces. Whether you are restoring a period fireplace or upgrading your current heating appliance, we can help you choose the right gas fire for your home.

Most gas fires operate on natural gas, but where this is not available, LPG (Liquid Petroleum Gas) is available for all models. We offer a wide range of styles, from open gas fires and sealed gas fires to hole-in-the-wall fires and room divider gas fires. If you are looking for a fireplace that combines efficiency, economy and the beauty of a real flame, a gas fire is an excellent choice.

Types of Gas Fires

Conventional Flue Gas Fires

A conventional flue gas fire, also known as an open combustion gas fire, must be connected to a chimney to operate safely and effectively. Air is drawn from the room and combines with draught air from the chimney for combustion. The waste gases are then safely expelled up the chimney and into the atmosphere.

Conventional flue gas fires are ideal for properties with an existing chimney and are a popular choice for those wanting the look and feel of a traditional fireplace.

Balanced Flue Gas Fires

A balanced flue gas fire, also known as a closed combustion gas fire, can be installed with or without a traditional brick chimney. These fires draw air from outside the property for combustion and expel waste gases outside through a concentric flue system, usually installed through an external wall.

Balanced flue gas fires are efficient, practical and ideal for modern homes or extensions where there is no existing chimney. We supply and install leading brands including Faber, Gazco and DRU Fires.

Flueless Gas Fires

A flueless gas fire offers another way to enjoy the benefits of gas without the need for a chimney or flue pipe. These fires are designed to burn fuel cleanly, with emissions released from the top or front of the appliance.

Flueless gas fires are often easier to install and are known for their reliability and safety. They are manufactured to strict CE regulations and include safety devices that automatically shut off the fire if an air blockage or other safety issue is detected.

For a flueless gas fire, the room must have a window that opens to the outside. Models that use a catalytic converter to reduce emissions must also be glass fronted.

Open Gas Fires

Open gas fires remain one of the most popular choices for homeowners looking to recreate the appearance of a traditional open fireplace. Using ceramic logs or coals, they closely resemble a classic solid fuel fire and create an attractive focal point in any room.

We have worked with Nu Flame, a UK manufacturer, for over 25 years. We carry Nu Flame parts and provide full servicing and maintenance for Nu Flame products as well as many other gas fire brands.

Open gas fires are generally chosen more for their decorative appeal than their heat output. They add warmth, character and ambience to both traditional and contemporary interiors. We specialise in bespoke gas fires made to measure, designed to fit original grates, baskets and existing chimneys.

Sealed Gas Fires

In sealed gas fire models, the fire burns behind glass and produces both radiant and convected heat. These appliances are highly efficient and many now come with non-reflective glass, creating a more natural flame picture and a sleek, modern appearance.

A high-efficiency gas fireplace can also help reduce heating bills by allowing you to heat the room you use most, while keeping the rest of the home cooler and reducing reliance on central heating.

Why Choose a Gas Fireplace in London?

A gas fireplace is a practical and stylish option for both period and modern homes. It is easy to use, low maintenance and available in a wide range of designs. Some models include remote controls, allowing you to adjust the fire easily from across the room.

If you are adding a fireplace to an existing property, extension or new family room, a gas fireplace can often be installed without the need for a large masonry chimney or hearth, making it a flexible and cost-effective solution.

Gas Fire Servicing and Maintenance

Gas fires require relatively little maintenance, but regular upkeep is essential for safety and performance. Dust, soot and carbon deposits should be cleaned from ceramic coals or logs when needed, and we recommend an annual gas fire service for every appliance, along with a chimney or flue sweep where applicable.

We provide gas fire servicing, maintenance and repairs for a wide range of models and manufacturers.

Gas Safe Installation and Expert Advice

All gas appliances must be installed by a qualified Gas Safe engineer. At Fires of London, our experienced engineers can carry out a survey, assess your property and recommend the most suitable appliance for your space, style and heating needs.
