Question 1

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 2

Do older gas fires in Goodshaw need servicing more often than modern ones?

Accepted Answer

The recommended interval is the same, once a year, regardless of age, though older fires in older Goodshaw properties are more likely to show wear that needs attention. Annual servicing is what catches that wear early, whatever the age of the fire.

Question 3

Can a gas fire be dangerous if it is not serviced?

Accepted Answer

Yes. An unserviced gas fire can develop issues with incomplete combustion or ventilation that pose a genuine safety risk, including carbon monoxide risk. Annual servicing by a Gas Safe registered engineer is the safest approach for any gas fire.

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

Can you service any make of gas fire?

Accepted Answer

We service most common domestic gas fires. Call us with the make and model, or send a photo if you are unsure, and we will confirm we can help before booking a visit, so you are never left with a wasted appointment.

Question 6

Do you service gas fires in Goodshaw for landlords with multiple rental properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We carry out gas fire servicing and CP12 Landlord Gas Safety Certificates across Goodshaw and the wider Lancashire area, and are happy to work with landlords who need several rental properties checked by the same Gas Safe registered engineer.

Question 7

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.

Question 8

What should I do if I smell gas in my home?

Accepted Answer

If you smell gas or suspect a leak, you should immediately open doors and windows to ventilate the area, turn off the gas supply at the meter (if safe to do so), avoid using any electrical switches, naked flames, or phones inside the property, leave the property, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately. Once the emergency has been handled, contact us during working hours for any follow-up repair work.

Question 9

How often should I have my boiler serviced?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend having your boiler serviced annually by a Gas Safe registered engineer. Regular servicing ensures your boiler operates safely and efficiently, helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, keeps your manufacturer's warranty valid, and can extend the lifespan of your boiler by several years. An annual service typically takes around 30-45 minutes and includes safety checks, efficiency testing and a visual inspection of key components.

Question 10
