Question 1

What does a gas fire service actually check?

Accepted Answer

We check the flame picture, spillage and ventilation, the flue where applicable, gas tightness, and the general condition of the fire and its controls, in line with Gas Safe safety requirements. We then clean and adjust the fire as needed.

Question 2

How often should a gas fire be serviced in Bank Hey?

Accepted Answer

Once a year. We recommend an annual service for any gas fire in Bank Hey, in the same way as a boiler, carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer. This confirms the fire is burning safely and efficiently and catches early signs of wear.

Question 3

What Gas Safe register number can I check for Spencer Jordan Plumbing and Heating?

Accepted Answer

Register No. 640113. You can look this up independently on the official Gas Safe Register at any time, including before booking a gas fire service anywhere in Bank Hey or Lancashire.

Question 4

What happens if my gas fire fails its service check?

Accepted Answer

We explain honestly what was found, what it means for the safety of the fire, and what your options are. There is no pressure to agree to work on the spot, and any further repair is quoted separately with a fixed, upfront price.

Question 5

How can I check if an engineer is Gas Safe registered?

Accepted Answer

Every genuine Gas Safe registered engineer carries a Gas Safe ID card, and you can independently verify any engineer or business on the official Gas Safe Register website using their registration number. Our Register No. is 640113, and we are always happy for customers to check this themselves before any work begins.

Question 6

How long does a boiler installation typically take?

Accepted Answer

A straightforward like-for-like combi boiler swap usually takes one working day. Converting from a conventional or system boiler to a combi, or fitting a new unvented cylinder alongside the installation, can take one to two days depending on the pipework involved. We confirm the expected timescale in your written quote.

Question 7

I have just moved into a property in Bank Hey with a gas fire I have never used, is it safe?

Accepted Answer

It is worth having any gas fire checked before first use if you do not know its service history, particularly in an older Bank Hey property. We can carry out a full safety check and service so you can use it with confidence.

Question 8

What are the warning signs my gas fire needs attention?

Accepted Answer

A yellow or orange flame instead of blue, soot or black marks around the fire surround, an unusual smell when the fire is running, or a pilot light that will not stay lit are all signs your gas fire needs checking promptly by a Gas Safe engineer.

Question 9

Which boiler brands do you install and recommend?

Accepted Answer

As a Baxi Approved Installer, we specialise in Baxi boilers and can offer extended warranties of up to 10 years. Baxi produce highly reliable, energy-efficient boilers with excellent value for money. We can also install other leading brands such as Worcester Bosch and Vaillant if required, and will recommend the best boiler for your home based on your property size, hot water demands, and budget rather than pushing a single brand.

Question 10

Will you clean my gas fire as part of the service?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once the safety checks are complete, we clean and adjust the fire as needed so it is burning safely and efficiently. A cleanly running fire is safer and also looks and performs the way it was meant to.
