Question 1

How long does a gas fire service take?

Accepted Answer

A standard gas fire service typically takes around 30 to 45 minutes, similar to a boiler service, depending on the type and condition of the fire. Our engineer works methodically rather than rushing the safety checks.

Question 2

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 3

Do older gas fires in Horton 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 Horton 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 4

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 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

How often should a gas fire be serviced in Horton?

Accepted Answer

Once a year. We recommend an annual service for any gas fire in Horton, 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 7

How can I check you are Gas Safe registered before booking in Horton?

Accepted Answer

You can verify us independently on the official Gas Safe Register using our Register No. 640113 before any work begins in Horton. Every Gas Safe registered engineer carries a unique ID card, and we are always happy for customers to check first.

Question 8

Is gas fire servicing included in a Landlord Gas Safety Certificate?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A CP12 covers every gas appliance in a rental property, including gas fires, so if you have a gas fire in a rented property in Horton it will be checked as part of the annual landlord certificate by our Gas Safe registered engineer.

Question 9

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 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.
