Gas Fireplace Servicing & Maintenance in London | Fires of London

At Fires of London, we provide expert gas fireplace servicing, gas fire maintenance, and wood-burning stove care across London. Regular servicing is essential to ensure your fireplace operates safely, efficiently, and in line with manufacturer guidelines.

Whether you have a gas fire, wood-burning stove, or solid fuel appliance, annual maintenance is strongly recommended.

Why Annual Fireplace Servicing Matters

There is a common misconception that gas fires do not require regular servicing. However, both HETAS and Gas Safe advise that all gas appliances must be:

  • Safety checked annually by a registered engineer

  • Serviced in accordance with manufacturer instructions

Routine servicing helps prevent faults, improves efficiency, and ensures your appliance remains safe to use.

We also recommend a chimney or flue sweep to remove soot and debris buildup. This service includes a written report for your records.

Chimney Sweeping Guidelines

  • After long periods of non-use
